The Chapel Quotes
“At home, how do we take conversations about God, from being awkward, to being a normal part of who we are as a family? The average amount of time we have for just any conversation at home throughout a day is sixty-four minutes, evenly distributed in four sections of our time. In most homes God is rarely a part of those conversations.”
“If you are going to wait until you know enough or are good enough you will never talk about God with your kids. There’s nothing better for the heart than for God’s Word to go through our eyes and ears. The place where conversations about God should predominantly happen is in the home. The home should be the primary locale for spiritual formation, not the church. The most important thing we can do is to be in the Bible daily and regularly because we find a way to talk about the things we are reading.”

Devotion 04/26/2026
Our Devotion, “Staying Fit” is by Amy L. Green, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. She is a freelance writer for WBCL Radio, Play, Christian Communicator, Church Libraries and The Secret Place.
During the month of January, gym membership increases an average of 33%. Thousands of people voluntarily submit themselves to the iron rule of personal trainers. These instructors enforce a rigorous exercise program, often pushing their clients to their physical limits to help them become healthy and fit.
The Holy Spirit is the spiritual equivalent of a personal trainer. He wants to see us change to become more like Christ, but because of our sinful habits and stubborn selfishness, these changes don’t come easily.
But no personal trainer can go out on the street and drag you into the gym to start an exercise regimen. You have to come by your own choice – and keep coming. In the same way, the Holy Spirit won’t force you to change. You must ask for His help to control your temper, show love to others, and learn wisdom and patience.
As it says in 1 Timothy 4:8, “Physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
Even when it’s painful, remember that, like a good personal trainer, the Holy Spirit wants to see you meet your goal of spiritual fitness, and that’s always worth the effort.

God’s Best-Kept Secret: Christianity is Easier Than You Think.
By Mark Maulding
Baker Books, PB, 216 pages
As a Christian counselor, Mark Maulding spends every day working with people who are trying hard to get right with God. After years of seeing believers trapped in a cycle of try, burn out, fail, repeat, Maulding dares to ask, “What if God never meant for us to try?” He answers the question by taking eleven common misconceptions about Christian life and, as the back cover blurb puts it, “explodes” them with Scripture and anecdotes from work.
Christian self-help books are notorious for being preachy and impractical. God’s Best-Kept Secret stands out because it’s neither. Maulding tells real stories, asks real questions, addresses real concerns, and offers real solutions to problems of faith. His word choice isn’t always the best – people may have to reread a sentence or two because the words seem heretical at first – but the ideas themselves flow smoothly and stand on a firm foundation of Scripture. This book is perfect for anyone who needs a shoulder to lean on in his or her Christian walk. This book sheds a whole new light on the phrase “living by grace” by refuting commonly held misconceptions.
