The Chapel Quotes
“In faith we must cling to God in the midst of awful circumstances and real questions. In the midst of all our struggles and grappling, the righteous shall live by faith. Are you living in a deep growing trust in God’s presence and promises in the middle of the often-brutal life where we find ourselves? Are we clinging to God? We can never be declared righteous before God unless we respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we place our faith in Him. We cannot grow up as a Christian or grow into the person that God has saved us to be, to see your life aligned with His plan and His purposes for you unless we live by active faith. Living by faith means that we must learn to lament evil and injustice. Faith is messy because we live in a fallen world that is messy and deeply affected by sin.”
“God wants us to come to Him as we are, where we are. When life seems unjust or unfair and God seems unresponsive to our plight, too often in that moment we tend to move away from God rather than toward Him. We tend to pout instead of pray. We must learn to keep praying even when God’s ways are confusing to us.God can handle our questioning and venting in our honest praying. Living by faith means we must actively trust in the sovereign promises of God. The earth one day will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Living by faith means we must move from lamenting before God to rejoicing in God as we rest in His salvation and His stabilizing strength.””

Devotion 07/27/2025
Our Devotion, “Sonlight” is by Stephanie Warner, a professional writing major at Taylor University and a freelance writer for WBCL radio, Church Libraries, and Christian Book Previews.
Have you ever admired the moon on a clear summer night? Have you ever stopped to ponder that its light is not its own? The moon is just a big rock until it comes into contact with the light of the sun.
Just as the moon’s glory comes from the sun, so, too, your glory only comes when you are in relationship with God’s Son, Jesus. The sun and the moon work together to bring light to a dark world. In the same way, Jesus charges you in Matthew 5:16 to “…let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven.”
The glory is the Lord’s. Let Him shine through you. Without His light, you are only dust. Have you reflected Sonlight lately?

BEACH DREAMS
By Trish Perry
“The Beach House Series” Series #3m
Harvest House, 978-0-7369-2446-7, PB, 303, $12.99
Sand, surf, and a sweet British man all combine into one crazy vacation for Tiffany LeBoeuf in Trish Perry’s novel, Beach Dreams. When Tiffany, a new Christian, meets Jeremy, a handsome British man, she discovers just how hard it can be to trust in the Lord and to resist taking matters into her own hands. A relaxing vacation at a beach house goes awry for Tiffany and her father when Jeremy and his girlfriend show up at the same location. Through several laughable situations, Tiffany has to learn how to give her desires, actions, and attitude to the Lord in order to honor Him (and get through the vacation alive without losing her sanity).
II Corinthians 5:17 is the main theme for Tiffany throughout the novel: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, and the new has come.” Praying and following God’s will are exemplified in the novel above submitting to the desires of the human nature. Also commendable is Tiffany’s realization that a woman cannot change a man’s spiritual life simply by being in a relationship with him. Tiffany’s friends provide her with encouragement and sound biblical advice about living as a new creation in Christ.
Although the underlying message of Beach Dreams is evident throughout, too many un-connecting and unnecessary subplots clutter the novel. Unrealistic situations and dialogue rob the novel of any substantial depth, making it hard for the reader to connect with the characters. The means to finding salvation is presented and adequately discussed in the novel, but with no mention of baptism or church membership or Christian fellowship, it seems incomplete. Additional points worth mentioning include: the inaccurate depiction of alcoholism, which is distasteful to those who are familiar with the ugliness of such an addiction, one use of the slang word “freakin,’” and light sexual innuendo found throughout the novel.
In conclusion, Beach Dreams has the foundational values of a good book, but lacks a stimulating plot, character depth, and practicality, which will cloud the skies for readers of this third installment of the “Beach House” series.
