The Chapel Quotes
“The Holy Spirit who is alive in believers is often ignored and has been throughout Church history. We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. We don’t see as much power in the Church today as we did when we read about the Church in the book of Acts. The Holy Spirit is a ‘He” not an ‘It’, and is therefore personal, and He is also God. Jesus did not just come for the forgiveness of sins but also for the in-habitation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.”
“The Holy Spirit is described as a helper, and is therefore a counselor and advocate for us. There is so much more to come after just being saved of our sins. The mission if the Spirit is to convict the world of sin. Conviction is to bring about a recognition of sin along with a sense of sorrow to draw us to God. Condemnation tells us we are worthless, conviction tells us we’ve fallen short, that we need to come back to God. Satan will point out our sins, condemn us to bring out shame, but the Holy Spirit convicts us in order to pull us to God. Pray this simple, dangerous and powerful prayer; “Holy Spirit, convict me.”

Devotion 10/26/2025
Our Devotion, “Modern Day Jericho” is by Ashlee L. Amann of New Hope, Pennsylvania, who studied writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY: “Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Moving from Colorado to Pennsylvania is not an easy task. Moving period is never simple. When I was 13 my dad got a job in Pennsylvania. During this time the market for selling houses was at a low point, but my parents were convinced that God could help us sell the house. Every day we would walk outside and begin a march around the house. We acted like soldiers during the battle of Jericho. Our “armor” was spotless; our “trumpets” hung around our necks, ready for action. I remember smelling the hot dusty road and the aches of a long day. My brother would wipe the sweat from his brow in full play-acting mode. After we marched around seven times, we would pray.
Months went by while we tried to cajole and sweet talk the Lord. I even offered to sacrifice my brother as a part of the package, but no one bought our house. We had all but given up when, on the day before we moved from Colorado, someone bought our home for the asking price, no questions asked.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, give me patience and help me to wait on You like the soldiers at Jericho for all situations in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

RIVEN
by Jerry B. Jenkins
Tyndale House Publishers, PB, 544 pages
Two seemingly unrelated stories become heartwarmingly interwoven in Jerry Jenkins’s book Riven. Brady, a kid whose childhood was less than desirable, rarely makes a morally upright decision. Even when he does, circumstances soon arise to make him enact a complete reversal of his actions and ruin his chances of becoming a respectful individual. Meanwhile, Thomas, a pastor who has a heart for serving the Lord but is unqualified from his peers’ standpoint, is consistently thrown into negative mission assignments. This pattern is relentless until Thomas is given the opportunity to serve as chaplain at the state penitentiary in Michigan. It is there, at the supermax, that Thomas and Brady eventually meet, and they both serve as trend-breakers for each other. Thomas guides Brady into Christianity, and Brady gives Thomas the first reason in his life for feeling validated as a pastor.
The writing, as expected when reading a book by Jenkins, is superb and enthralling. The story does start off a little slowly but constantly gains momentum, breaking the typical formula of an exciting beginning and end, but a boring middle. The plot concept is, unfortunately, not unexpected and can be guessed early on. Still, there are a times in the book where the reader will feel genuine surprise. Truly, it’s difficult not to love the direction this redemptive story takes.
Since half of the novel follows a man on his way to becoming a convict, the story contains some problematic material for younger imaginations and would be best left to a more mature audience. However, Riven is a fantastic read and I would recommend it to people who enjoy more realistic fiction.
There are copious amounts of Christian doctrine in the pages of this book. Thomas’s daughter cannot stand Christianity and constantly questions certain claims in the Bible about the character of Christ and Christians. Thomas, as a pastor with an incredible memory, memorizes and recites entire passages from the Bible, even leading Brady to do so as well. Some individuals are implied to have added political or personal views to their understanding of Christianity and said views are usually analyzed or even explored. In the end, a character wishes himself to be crucified like Jesus.
The treatment of this subject matter is done in Jenkins’s characteristic way, as seen in the Left Behind books. It is unadvisable for someone who lacks a total understanding of Christianity and its beliefs to read this. Whoever does read the book should have a basic knowledge of several key concepts that define Christianity.
