The Chapel Quotes

The command of the Holy Spirit to all of us is to go somehow, somewhere and in some way to serve. When we are saved the Holy Spirit is going to make sure that we continue to be saved until He delivers us to heaven. The Holy Spirit is the writer and illuminator of scripture. He gifts believers to be able to do certain acts of service. There are no gifts that are superior to others.”

“We as the people of God are very diverse. It’s something celebrate, it’s something that makes us stronger. God’s plan to change the world is to work through people’s spiritual gifts, their talents and their passions. You are wired specifically and beautifully to make a very specialized impact in this world. A spiritual gift is a super-natural ability that is bestowed on Christians by the Holy Spirit for good. We all have one, and we should be on a trek to figure out what it is and how we are to make a difference. The body of Christ at its best is diverse in its functioning. You have a Spiritual gift, and you are meant to use it, or the body of Christ gets hurt. How are you using your gift? If you’re not serving you are missing out on a huge blessing in your life.

Devotion 11/23/2025

Our Devotion, “He Is With You” by Elizabeth Horne of Maumee, Ohio, who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”   Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)

 I was in Honduras on a missions trip one summer with members of my church. We went to different schools and churches and shared our testimonies and the trials we had gone through in our lives. I had just gone through an emotional incident in which a couple of people had made me feel like I was completely worthless, and I was still very hurt by it. I could not figure out why God had let me experience this, until this trip.

At one of the schools God led me to share the hard times I had gone through. I got responses from the girls in the class. Some of them started crying. It was at that moment I realized I wasn’t the only one who had gone through these things and had felt this way. I then understood why God had allowed me to go through some suffering. It was so I could touch the lives of others. God loves us and doesn’t make us struggle for no reason. It may not always be clear as to why He allows pain into our lives, but He has a plan and we just have to trust in it.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to grow stronger through the hard times, and allow me to remember that You always love me and do things in my life for a reason. Help me to use my struggles to bring others encouragement; in Your name, I pray. Amen.

Book Review 11/19/2025

This Book Review is by Rachel M. Pfeiffer, a Professional Writing student at Taylor University.

Kierkegaard: A Single Life
By Stephen Backhouse
Zondervan, Hardcover, 296 pages

Søren Kierkegaard was born into a large, wealthy family in Copenhagen, Denmark on May 5, 1813. He grew into an awkward but witty boy, often infuriating his teachers and classmates alike. His father, although at times distant and depressed, encouraged his sons to think deeply and defend what they believed. After spending some time in the university, Kierkegaard began writing books. He explored many important theological topics and defended his views on them regardless of the opposition from Denmark’s established church. Most of his ideas were underappreciated in his day, but many of them are now studied throughout the modern world.

 Backhouse does an excellent job of enabling the reader to understand who Søren Kierkegaard was. Through this biography, the reader is able to gain a good understanding of not only what shaped the Danish philosopher, but also what was happening in his life when he wrote his many works. Although some sections become overburdened with details, overall Backhouse is successful in creating a vivid picture of Kierkegaard’s life.

Anyone who enjoys biographies of religious thinkers would enjoy this book.

Kierkegaard’s works helped shape the landscape of modern Christian philosophy. His life story reminds us to keep an open mind to new ideas and that we must always be prepared to defend our views, especially on topics of faith.
