The Chapel Quotes
“As Christians I hope we never lose that call from Jesus to not just love those who love us but even to love our enemies. We live in a time and age where it’s very easy to love those who believe in the things that we do and cast fear and horrible things to those who don’t. Culture is a very important part of how we practice our faith. In our Bible study it’s important to study the cultural context. Don’t add human rules to Christ as a requirement to be more mature. The mature Christian knows the difference between what God has said and human rules put on top of what God has said. Don’t add emotional experiences to Christ as a requirement to be more spiritual. Don’t add self-denial as a requirement to become more holy. It’s God’s energy where transformation takes place, Christ is enough not Christ plus. As we worship, don’t seek the goosebumps seek the face of Christ.”

Devotion 07/05/2026
Our Devotion, “God’s Early Warning System” is by Elizabeth de Graaf, a professional writing major at Taylor University, a scriptwriter for WBCL radio, and a book reviewer for Christian Book Previews and Church Libraries.
In early November tornado sirens wailing throughout Upland, Indiana sent all of the students and faculty members of Taylor university rushing into the basements of the dormitories and classroom buildings. High winds knocked down trees and several advertising billboards, but all of the students and teachers were safe in the underground shelters.
In a similar manner, God issues danger signals and gives us notes of precaution for our own protection. He tells us in Isaiah 1:19 that we must be “willing and obedient” to follow his commands and be alert to his warnings.
It would have been silly and dangerous for the students and their professors to have stood outdoors and watched the approach of the high winds and funnel clouds. Likewise, it is wrong for us not to heed the warnings given to us by a loving and protective God. Following the Ten Commandments and obeying the teachings of Jesus keep us protected us from the storms of life. Knowing this, “take cover” whenever God issues a warning.

Short Sentences Long Remembered: A Guided Study of Proverbs and Other Wisdom Literature
By Leland Ryken
Weaver Book Company, PB, 114 pages
Proverbs and other books of wisdom literature, such as Ecclesiastes, teem with literary merit. Both prose and poetry passages of this biblical genre overflow with riddles, memory tricks, vivid analogies, and other “technical precision(s)” (7). Ryken dissects several proverbs, narrowing line length and enlightening readers on the typical proverb formula (including elements of motivation for obedience and warnings, 52). One of six volumes in the series of approaching Scripture with a literary outlook, Ryken helps readers apply concepts at the end of chapters with “learning by doing” exercises.
Ryken examines the wisdom literature with the precision and skill of a well-trained scientist. Literarily, that is. However, his book runs into problems in execution and marketing. The former erred because the work reads too heavily on the side of a research paper, more to be appreciated by those high in the ranks of academia. Perhaps that could have worked to his advantage if he had not marketed it to the common reader, as mentioned on the back cover. Still, there are interesting insights in regard to examining scripture for those folks who have read their Bibles many times and are looking for fresh ways to study the various passages.
Biblical authors implement several literary devices – from John’s word play with “the Word” (logos) in John 1 to the imagery of the sun in Ecclesiastes 1:5. If a reader can spy these technical treasures, this will enhance his or her appreciation of Scripture altogether.
