The Chapel Quotes
“The Lord is good and worthy to be praised. What do you do when life throws something at you that you didn’t expect in this crazy season of life, in frustration when it seems like the enemy is winning? We need to pray. We really don’t understand the power that God has given us in prayer. Healing is connected in prayer. Deliverance is connected in prayer. Your peace is connected in prayer. Your joy is connected in prayer. Your victory is connected in prayer. God’s presence is connected in prayer. When we seek the face of the Father and we begin to pray things begin to happen. Be bold enough to seek the face of the Father. When we put our trust in God and rest in Him, He begins to speak to us. If we hand our battle to the Lord, He is good and able to handle it. It doesn’t matter what you’re going through, what the diagnosis is, if you give it to God, He is capable and able to handle whatever you give to Him. Can you imagine when all of us agree what can move and change in our country today?”

Devotion 08/24/2025
Our Devotion, “Waiting For The Weekend” is by Maura Oprisko, a graduate of the Taylor University professional writing major and a frequent writer for Evangel and Church Libraries.
By now you are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming three-day weekend. You’ve worked hard, you’ve pushed through the same old drudgery of every day, and now it’s time to rest and unwind. There’s nothing better than a long-awaited break from the norm. However, it can be tempting to entertain thoughts of work while relaxing in the back yard. But that’ll only ruin the experience. Your break time should provide you with some rest.
Jesus intimately knows the troubles and the burdens that press upon us in this life, and He aches for us to come to Him. He promises in Matthew 11:28-29, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
Often, we fling our exhausted selves into God’s arms, but after a little bit, we stop resting there. We succumb to the temptation of letting stress and worry get the better of us anyway, even as we cling to God for rest. It sort of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?
During this upcoming Labor Day weekend — as you push thoughts of the office or job away in order to enjoy the experience – be equally grateful of the deep rest you can enjoy in God. He will always truly refresh you.
Book Review 08/27/2025
This Book Review is by Corrine Hills, a professional writing major at Taylor University and a frequent reviewer for Church Libraries.
PURE PLEASURE
by Gary Thomas
Zondervan, 978-0-310-29080-3, PB, 238 pages, $14.99
Has the church’s pursuit of discipline damaged the way Christians respond to God’s gift of pleasure? Gary Thomas considers this question wisely and cautiously. Drawing on his experience as founder of the Center for Evangelical Spirituality and his work as a leader in his church, he suggests that Christians today tend to focus so heavily on duty, they forget about God’s pleasure. Thomas gives biblically sound principles for viewing pleasure as a restorative agent that can make sin less attractive. Singing, working together, displaying love, enjoying a hobby, traveling to scenic locales—life can be filled with God-honoring pleasures.
Thomas is very much aware of the controversial nature of this topic; he calmly makes a case for righteous pleasure while thoroughly addressing objections. He balances biblical research with illuminating stories in order to explore this topic fully and clearly. At the end of the book, there are questions for discussion and reflection.
