The Chapel Quotes

Many of us see sin within our lives and we’re sorry for it outwardly, (maybe just because we got caught) but inwardly we still live within the same cycle and habits of sin. How do we deal with an outward sorrow but inwardly we haven’t changed? Our goal as a church is that we would be a people whose hearts are not only torn for God but actually turn to God. Everyone will come before a righteous and holy God and be held accountable for the way that we live. Let your heart be torn and broken for God not just your outer garments.”

“True repentance requires genuine sorrow, genuine confession and a genuine change of mind. Fasting engages us in a spiritual discipline to allow the Holy Spirit to help us get to a place that we could not before. Will power is at its best when it does what it can to direct our bodies in a spiritual practice so that the Spirit’s power can do what it can, what will power cannot. Invite someone out of courage to step in and hold you accountable. We are not to be torn for God but to turn to Him. It’s not what do we turn from, but Who do we need to turn to.

Devotion 02/15/2026

Our Devotion, “Perfect Father” is by Jessica G. Smith of Beavercreek, Ohio, who studied professional writing at Taylor University.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”  Matthew 5:48

Sometimes my dad and I do not get along well. We frequently bicker over very minor differences of opinion. He considers me to be a rebellious teenager, and I accuse him of being overly domineering.  Maybe it is because I am so independently minded that he and I are too much alike and, like a magnet, we repel similar forces.  

Whatever the reason, being at odds with my dad can be tiresome and annoying. Perhaps it is just a phase we are both going through. Even though my father on this earth is not flawless, I can rely on the fact that I have the perfect dad in heaven. God is my eternal father. He looks out for me. He plans the best for my life. I can depend on God to be there for me in times of struggle and need. He is perfect and He thinks that I am worth something. To Him, I was worth dying on the cross.

 Anyone accepting God as a personal Savior gains the perfect father. God does not replace an earthly dad, but He is an Eternal Father who cares and loves forever.

PRAYER: Dear God, let me feel Your presence in my life. Allow me fully to understand that You are the perfect Father and You love me perfectly. Let me know that I can come to You for anything I need. In Your name, I pray. Amen.

Here Goes Nothing: An Introvert’s Reckless Attempt to Love Her Neighbor By Kendra Broekhuis
Thomas Nelson, HB, 273 pages

Kendra Broekhuis is an introvert, so when she feels challenged to show love to her neighbors after she and her husband move to a Chicago neighborhood, she’s apprehensive. A busy stay-at-home mom, Kendra has plenty of dirty diapers and dirty dishes alike to take up her time, and getting out of her comfort zone isn’t high on her priority list. However, as Kendra prays for thirty days for God to show her how to love her neighbors, she finds God’s love, peace, and grace in the most unexpected ways and places.

 Broekhuis does an excellent job of using the little stories from her daily life to demonstrate how to step out and love others even when it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient. She covers a wide range of topics, from how to love your family patiently to how to love and empathize with people you’ve only met recently. Though some chapters have a loose connection to the book’s overall theme, Broekhuis generally does an admirable job of raising thought provoking and challenging questions while simultaneously telling her own story.

Christian women, especially introverts, will enjoy reading this book. In today’s world, it’s easy for people to be concerned only with their own lives. Kendra Broekhuis challenges readers of this book to look beyond themselves to the hurting that exists right next door.
