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 12/28/2025
Our Devotion, “Ceaseless Gratitude” is by Giselle M. Gonzalez of Longview, Texas, who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
When I was in ninth grade my best friend was named Andrew. One afternoon he sent me a text message: We need to talk. I’ll call you tonight. The entire afternoon I fidgeted as I pondered the possibilities of our impending discussion. Finally, around nine o’clock, my phone rang.
“What’s going on?” I asked frantically.
“My mother just filed for divorce,” he answered, “and now we’re camping out at my grandparents’ place because my mom is afraid that when my dad finds out, he’ll try to hurt us.”
I was speechless. His situation was impossible for me to fathom because my own parents’ marriage was marvelously stable. “Andrew, I’m so sorry. I wish I could help. You must be really mad.”
“No, I’m not mad. I’m sad,” he said, then paused. “But I’m still grateful.”
“Who could you possibly be grateful to?” I squawked with shock.
“God. He gave me two parents who may not love each other, but they still love me. He gave me a wonderful sister. He gave me four healthy, caring grandparents. He gave me amazing Christian friends. He gave me my house, my country, and my life. Who am I to challenge God because of one bump in my road?”
PRAYER: Christ, please let me see the blessings you’ve surrounded me with each day. Please help me give you ceaseless praise for your ceaseless bounty.

RADICALIZING PEACE: How your good, small, faithful steps can change the world
By Mark Traylor
Elevate Faith, HB, 122 pages
In the midst of a culture of radicals and extremists, Traylor seeks to introduce a new revolution: one of peace. He sheds light on the hypocrisy of many parts of the Western Church, and he challenges readers to follow the counterintuitive teaching of Jesus Christ. This short book is written in easy-to-read, conversational language that allows readers to feel they are having a visit with Traylor. Specific attention is given to forgiveness, patience, self-sacrifice, personal discipline, and kindness. Although this book is not in-depth enough to explore various philosophical aspects of peace and tolerance, it does site pertinent passages of scripture to support its points.
Traylor presents ideas that provoke self-examination and reflection. Readers must pick up his book with an open mind, ready to ask serious questions—sometimes without cut-and-dry answers. The book presents the gospel in a way that helps readers grasp the radical ideas of Jesus Christ as demonstrated by his charge to “Love your enemies.” Traylor’s book is impactful and influential for Christians who desire to further the kingdom of God.
