It’s often a long, tough road getting from where we are to where we need to be.
Along the way, there are many who encourage us; parents, family, spouse, friends, and of course our Heavenly Father who gives us both direction and the strength to reach our destination. Our song today is a tribute to all who help us move forward.

The Chapel Quotes
“Our private lives should be where the love of Jesus should be poured out into the people we love the most. Our private lives are much more important than our public image. At the end of our lives what an incredible goal it would be to be respected most by those who know us the best. Every human authority functions best when it is exercised under the lordship of Christ. God is above all and meant to be above all of our relationships. In the dynamic relationships that we have in the home, whether it is marriage, children or in the workplace it ultimately doesn’t come down to whether they are deserving, but is the Lord deserving. Ultimately we are doing all things for the Lord.”
“Study after study shows that the women in the household are the ones that are leading the family spiritually, are the ones pointing us to go to church and to be plugged in and to serve and to pray and read the Bible. Flourishing marriages happen when the husband loves as Christ loved, and the wife submits as Christ on earth was in full submission to the Father. Servants obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye service as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart as working for the Lord and not for men. Don’t let another person’s actions determine your obedience, let Christ’s lordship determine your response.”

Devotion 07/19/2026
Our Devotion, “A Ticking Clock” is by Nicole E. Dynes of Berne, Indiana, a professional writing major at Taylor University and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.” Habakkuk 2:20 (NIV)
Tick… tick… tick… tick…. Listen closely. Can you hear any clocks nearby? Can you see the second hand marching past the numbers, dancing in step with the ticking? Try to be as quiet as you possibly can, and listen for a moment. What do you hear?
As we hurry through life, rushing from place to place and meeting to meeting, we are usually too busy to quiet ourselves and listen for the clocks around us. Instead, we are trying to race against the clock to get everything done. It isn’t until we slow down and silence our thoughts (and our TVs, CDs, and MP3 players) that we hear the faint ticking of a clock keeping time.
It’s the same way with God. In order to hear Him, we need to listen. If we keep cranking up the noise or clacking away on our computers, how are we going to hear what He is saying to us?
PRAYER: Lord, help me to still my mind and my surroundings and listen for the clocks you place in my life.
Book Review 07/15/2026
This Book Review is by Olivia Lauritzen, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
Know Why You Believe
By K. Scott Oliphint
Zondervan, PB, 224 pages
A part of Zondervan’s KNOW series, this book offers explanations to questions that a new believer might have about the Christian faith. K. Scott Oliphint does a remarkable job of dealing with and responding to ten specific areas of religion. He writes in an easy to understand, conversational style. However, although he strives to make complicated theological matters logical and simplified for the readers and students, he is never condescending or shallow.
Each chapter has the same rough outline – state the question, provide background on the issue, list reasons for and against the issue, and offer responses to each question. Every chapter (and subsequent questions related to belief) has an accompanying short list of review and study questions, and a detailed list of reading suggestions for further study. Anyone wishing to gain a basic understanding of salvation, redemption, forgiveness, prophecy, parables, and biblical heritage will benefit from this primer.
Because this book clarifies ten of the most challenging questions that new believers or seeks may have about the Christian faith, it would be a good text for small group Bible studies, evangelism workers, youth leaders, or recent converts.
