The Chapel Quotes
“There is a better place, there will be a new heaven, a new earth where there will be no more crying and no more pain. The safest place is at the center of God’s will, a spiritual security that no matter where your obedience in Jesus takes you, you’re safe in His hands through His strength, through His guidance, and He carries you on into His Kingdom.”
“The center of God’s will often leads you down the path of sacrifice and difficulty. We are compelled to walk down hard paths because we know that’s where Jesus is, and that’s what He demands of us. We are challenged by the example of Jesus to lower ourselves and do what is difficult, to give a sacrifice of value, not necessarily of monetary value, but of time, energy, the ability to listen, the words we use to other people. Perhaps a sacrifice of praise, God is good and worthy of our praise. A sacrifice of self, to put our agenda aside for the benefit of others.”
“We are extremely significant in the eyes of God, made in His image, and yet insignificant compared to the glory of God. We have significant insignificance. Take the path of hard, the path of a servant and humble yourself because God opposes the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. Are we going to humble ourselves or are we going to get humbled? What hard thing does love require of you?”

Devotion 12/21/2025
Our Devotion, “My Comfort” is by Caroline Taylor of Smithville, Indiana, who studied professional writing at Taylor University.
VERSE OF THE DAY: “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.” Nahum 1:7
We’ve all had one really meaningful item in our lives: something that we’ve kept hidden from the world because it’s too special ever to throw away. It might be an old teddy bear with the fur rubbed off and an eye missing, or that blankie with so many holes it looks like a golf course. Or maybe it’s something like a letter from the past or a picture that’s severely creased after being carried in your wallet for too long.
We keep these items as things to comfort us when we are feeling scared, hurt or alone. They sit by a bed in a drawer or underneath a pillow so they can always be pulled out to provide a comforting memory. But objects aren’t the only things that can comfort us. This is what and who God wants to be in our lives, something we look to as comfort and support. No matter what, he’ll always be underneath the pillow for us.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for always being here for me as my support and my rock. I love knowing I can always come to You for comfort when I need it the most. Amen.

Mystery of the Magi: The Quest to Identify the Three Wise Men
By Dwight Longenecker
Regnery History, PB, 180 pages
We have all heard the age-old Christmas story of three wise men who traveled on camels to Bethlehem, bearing gold, frankincense, and myrrh to give to the newborn King. But how many of us have questioned the reality of this story? How many of us have looked on the magical arrival of the Magi as some sort of myth? Longenecker challenges his readers to change their view of this story by returning to Mathew’s simple account. Using historical evidence, he presents an argument to prove the truth of this part of the Christmas story and disprove the fantasy so often accompanying it.
Delving into the history of Mesopotamia, he investigates the origin of the magi, what they believed, and why they desired to come visit a Jewish king. He looks at the trade routes of the Roman world and the relationships between different kingdoms. He even discusses the appearance of the star, what it looked like, and why it held such importance in the story. With all of the evidence he presents, he backs up his argument and proves that Mathew’s tale of the magi is not fantasy.
