The Chapel Quotes
“It matters to God how we treat one another in His family, the body of Christ. It matters to God how we interact with the world around us, that is our mission field. Have you become a radically more loving person since you came to know Jesus Christ? Will you live for yourself first, which is what flesh wants to do, or will you die to yourself and put the interest of others first? One of these choices brings glory to God the other does not. The mind of Christ is that we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Is Jesus your Savior and your Lord or is Jesus just your Savior? He needs to be both. The Christian life is about walking in obedience to Christ’s agenda, His will, His mission. Are you living before Jesus Christ as your Lord?”
“Because Jesus Christ is Lord today and forever will you choose the Christ-like path of humbly and sacrificially loving others? We need to let Christ’s love sink in to our lives more deeply, to melt our indifference, to melt our hate or whatever else it is that is driving us that’s not love. We need to let the love of Christ compel us and motivate us to love others sacrificially.”
“Because Jesus Christ is Lord in 2026 and forever, I will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life, Lord of our church and Lord of all. I will live under the Lordship of Jesus, doing now what we will be doing in eternity. Pray for the lost and share the good news of the gospel so that more will join the confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

Devotion 01/04/2026
Our Devotion, “Born Wild” is by Ryan Dennison of South Lyon, Michigan, who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God.” Hebrews 6:1 (NIV)
There is something about utter helplessness that inspires compassion. When I was in high school my family found an infant kitten on the side of the road. He cried endlessly, could barely walk, and could hardly lap milk. But he was fluffy, big-eyed and dependent, so we took him home. That was our first mistake. The cat turned out to be a tyrant! He bit, pounced, and scratched anyone who came near, until we had to lock him inside the guest bedroom. Even then, he threw a fit whenever he was left alone. We regretted the day we brought that wildcat into our lives.
As Christians, we are often just like that kitten. God saves us from the world, and for a while, we are grateful. The problem is that we grow complacent, even demanding of God. We expect blessings and growth in our lives, but we are resistant to submitting to God’s will. We want Him to do the work, while we reap the rewards. As Christians, our growth comes through accepting and conforming to God’s plan for our lives, not forcing God to conform to ours.
PRAYER: Lord, don’t let me forget how You’ve blessed me. Give me a willing and servant heart, ready to do Your will.

LOOKING FOR LOVELY: Collecting the Moments that Matter
By Annie F. Downs
B&H Publishing Group, PB, 194 pages
Annie F. Downs shares her experiences in the past years learning to look for what is lovely in life. She introduces us to her life before she started looking for loveliness, and how her life changed during the search, and she ends with a glimpse of who she is now because of it. This is a book about what Downs calls the greatest transformation of her life, and a challenge to her readers to learn from her and begin their own transformations.
This is a wonderful collection of anecdotes about sunrises and concerts and nights in Israel. I found myself wanting to listen to new worship music and paint my nails alongside her. This book was fresh air to me, and I related to the author in every chapter. I felt freed of a weight I hadn’t realized I was carrying as I started to look for lovely things in my own life. She inspired me to search for evidence of God in the everyday events of my life. The author addresses her story to single Christian women, as she is relating her own life of being one herself.
