The Chapel Quotes
“We all have an invitation from Jesus to be a part of His Kingdom. He has called us to repent, that His Kingdom is near, to lay down whatever we are holding and follow Him. Greatness is found in the Kingdom of God by being a servant, not to rule and lord it over people like the kingdoms of this earth. We get in the way of people that need God so badly. Christians have a history of getting in the way of people who need Jesus so badly in the way that we live. The expansion of the Kingdom of God is restricted when disciples of Jesus inhibit the desperate from approaching Him. Let’s not put things in the way of those who are turning to God. What it means to enter the Kingdom of God is when people recognize their dependence on Him. We think we’re walking around in waist-deep water and that we don’t need a Savior, and the reality is the water is over our heads. How desperate are you for Jesus? How much do you need Him in your life? Those who recognize the need for a Savior are the ones that enter in to His Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is not for the self-sufficient but for those who recognize their utter dependence on Jesus.”

Devotion 03/16/2025
Our Devotion, “A Spiritual Water Bottle” is by Nicole D. Miller a professional writing major at Taylor University and freelance writer for WBCL radio, Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
During the summer season I really enjoy an outdoor walk, taking in the beauty of God’s creation. However, it is truly difficult to appreciate God’s artwork when the humid air causes your clothes to cling to your skin and your mouth to dry out like sand underneath the sun’s fiery rays. When heat bears down on my weary body, I only want to find a cool drink of water, close my eyes, and rest.
In John 4, Jesus stopped in Samaria at a well and had a conversation with a woman. This woman, shocked by their interaction, asked him how he, a Jew, could request a drink from a Samaritan woman. Jesus answered her and said, “If you knew who… it is who asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water. Whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give will become a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
If we get thirsty while we are hiking or playing in the sun, our bodies need water and rest. However, spiritual thirst can only be quenched by the living Son of God. With this water, we can be satisfied and never thirst again. But first, we have to ask for a drink.

Liturgy of the Ordinary
By Tish Harrison Warren
InterVarsity Press, PB, 153 pages
Living as humans takes more maintenance than most folks are willing to admit. That being said, maintenance time is often wasted time. Warren gives an example of this in her own life in her opening chapters. The early moments of Warren’s day were spent on her phone checking social media. Instead, Warren decided to spend the first minutes making her bed. When she finished, she sat in quiet meditation listening to the Lord.
Throughout Liturgy of the Ordinary, Warren gives many examples—similar to the one above—of how daily routines can be modified to get to know our Creator better. From simple tasks, such as dining with friends to the horror of losing house and car keys, Warren gives advice on various activities that make up the human experience, and she links them to Christianity in the process. In one example, Warren connects several scriptural passages and relates them to a story about a church service that explained that the simplest way to overcome marital arguments was to apologize, forgive, and reconcile.
Though Warren has the tendency to be a tad redundant, it is to show how one activity can be coupled with another. The entire book is well thought out and has great Christian impact. Most of the anecdotes are at the beginning of each chapter so Warren can break into the religious explanations of how to solve a specific problem before she gives the conclusion of her story. Seeking God is always the best choice when an obstacle appears. Warren demonstrates exactly how to do that in day-to-day life.
This book illustrates how to live a life showing complete devotion to God. From brushing teeth to eating food, Warren points out ways to do so by worshipping God in the process. Many scriptural passages (as well as church service liturgies and ceremonies) are referenced in each chapter. Suggested readership is ages 20 and up since this book is geared toward an audience who has an established a daily routine. Many of the scenarios Warren uses are those of a person who owns a living space and has developed his or her own family. However, it is entirely likely that teenagers could find benefits from this book, and parents can certainly instill these values in their children.
