The Chapel Quotes
“A small intentional rhythm practiced day by day can shape the people that we love and helps us build a Christ-centered home. The primary mission of a home is to love God with all that we are. It begins with a transformation that takes place internally first. We must have a love for God’s Word so that we read it daily. When we’re satisfied with all that’s going on and we have all that we need we may forget God. If we neglect reminders that God has given us to live with and use to remember Him, we will neglect the Lord. The key to not forgetting God’s Word is that we have it in all that we do. If someone followed us around with a camera all of the time what would they see as the fruit of our life? Reminders mean nothing if we don’t actually do them. What is our heart’s intent, is it to bring glory to God or to ourselves? Nothing we do matters if Christ is not in it. A faith that stays at church gets forgotten in the home. In all that you do, go with God!”

Devotion 05/03/2026
Our Devotion, “A Servant’s Reward” is by Amy L. Green is a professional writing major at Taylor University and a freelance writer for WBCL Radio, Church Libraries, Plays, and The Secret Place.
Missionary conferences don’t often highlight the ministry of the church’s janitor. Rarely does a church staff include a “Pastor of Setting Up Chairs.” Changing diapers in the church nursery is not included in any list of spiritual gifts. Nevertheless, millions of Christians quietly continue to pray, love, and serve, even though their work is overlooked and undervalued.
Their work is, however, not undervalued by Christ. In Mark 9:35, Jesus tells his disciples the secret to greatness, saying, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” Throughout his ministry, Jesus emphasized that those who will receive the most praise from the Father may not be the dynamic leaders or up-front speakers, but those who quietly and humbly made a difference by being willing to serve others.
After all, when describing the praise given to the faithful workers in the parable of the talents, the master says, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Though the rest of us may pass them by, God does not overlook the faithful followers who imitate Christ’s attitude of humble service to others. They are the first and greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Even when it’s painful, remember that, like a good personal trainer, the Holy Spirit wants to see you meet your goal of spiritual fitness, and that’s always worth the effort.

Rebellious Parenting: Daring to Break the Rules So Your Child Can Thriveby Carrie Blackaby and Richard Blackaby
Elevate Faith, PB, 383 pages
As a mother and repeat book reviewer, I’ve read more than a couple of parenting books. Rebellious Parenting by Carrie and Richard Blackaby is not your ordinary parenting textbook. It is much more.
Using a tag-team format, father and daughter take turns discussing each topic from each one’s unique perspective, telling real-life stories from their own lives. According to the Blackabys, the goal of parenting is not simply to teach children wrong from right, but to teach them to want to do right. A quote from page 200 serves as a great example of the theme of the book: “It’s not enough to teach your children to say nice things. You want them to develop into thoughtful people who do nice things.”
The book chapters cover the usual parenting topics, but the content is as engaging as the chapter titles: Land of the Free, Home of the Clones and Well-Mannered Little Monsters are just two of more than twelve well-written, engaging and informative chapters.
One thread running through the book is that we should guard against a parenting style based on lists of rigid rules. Christ came to give us abundant life! If we fail to show our children the joy of living in Christ, of cherishing the relationship we have with Him, being a Christian can seem, to our children, more like a burden than a gift.
Parents with children of any age, as well as grandparents and prospective parents will benefit from this book. Also, it is a good resource for church children’s ministers and youth leaders.
