The Chapel Quotes
“We live in a day and age of idols that are competing for the rightful spot that God has created in our lives to be enthroned not only in heaven but within our hearts. We were created exactly for that purpose, and when we don’t do that we live outside of the way that God has actually created us. Whatever things we pursue to replace what should be in our lives we find that they are ultimately empty and disappointing in the long term. An idol is anything that we place before God. What you worship is what you become. If you worship God you become Godly. The only way to free yourself from the trophies of this world is to solely worship the living God.”
“We are designed and hard-wired for worship. Who or what are you worshiping? We live in a day and age where one of the great idols of our time is the idol of image. We’ve become obsessed with looking at our own reflection and become enamored with it. If you want to be a people-pleaser, if you want to live your life in a way that you find true satisfaction in the eyes of others you can’t be a servant of Christ. Being an image bearer is being a people-server without being a people-pleaser. A people-pleaser is making decisions motivated by what people think, a people-servant is making decisions by what God says is right. Let’s be people who thrive to be like Jesus, to be in His image and to reflect Him to this world. That’s how the world is changed.”

Devotion 11/08/2026
Our Devotion, “Crossing Borders” is by Samantha Stevens, a student of professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.” I John 4:18
Here we were, a bunch of college-aged Americans, dancing hand-in-hand down the freezing streets of Chetebor with gypsy children. Our team of students had traveled to this little city in the Czech Republic in hopes of ministering to schoolchildren in the area. Unfortunately, gypsies in European cultures are often mistreated, poverty stricken, discriminated against, and ostracized. Thus, we garnered odd looks and scornful stares from the locals as we laughed, threw snowballs, and paraded through town leading gypsy children home that afternoon.
Because we ministered to the gypsy minorities, the townsfolk disliked us. But that resentment was totally offset by the joy we experienced in helping those sweet children discover the love of God. We were quite a sight. I was shaking and numb from holding their bare hands in the cold, but nothing could keep me from letting go. True love, I learned, is absolutely fearless, despite a world that segregates itself along social, economic and ethnic lines.
Jesus regularly shocked his disciples in the same way. He reached out to people of every class, culture and status, ministering to foreigners, lepers, lower-class citizens and prostitutes, despite objections from discriminators. Just like Jesus, our love for others should have a boldness that actively and positively reaches out to every people.
PRAYER: Lord, help us to cross these barriers fearlessly every day so that we can minister to others in the same ways You did.

The Runaway Prophet
By Michele Chynoweth
Morgan James Publishing, PB, 284 pages
Paralleling the Old Testament story of Jonah, this novel follows the story of Rory Justice, an ordinary man thrust into extraordinary circumstances. His father’s dying wish sends him to Las Vegas to try to prevent the Islamic State Mafia from setting off a nuclear bomb. His prejudices and bitterness are challenged as he works with its citizens to try to quell this pending apocalypse. Along the way Rory makes new friends and even finds love, but in the end it still might not be enough.
Writing the story of Jonah is an admirable effort, but in this case it falls short. The plot seems a little quick to blame outside influences for Vegas’s problems, which is the exact opposite of the original story. The supporting characters around Rory feel shallow, and they merely interact with him without exchanging philosophies or aspects of theology or even political agendas. His emotional issues and general prejudices are addressed, yet little growth actually seems to occur. Any genuine plot traumas or character challenges seem to have a quick bandage thrown over them rather than given any sort of proper solution. This was supposed to be a heartwarming tale, but overall the book left me cold. (This is a self-published, and perhaps the novel would have benefitted from editing by a professional acquisitions editor.)
This book takes an old story from the Bible and tries to modernize it by rewriting Jonah and Ninevah as Rory and Las Vegas, supposedly making it relatable to today’s world. Spiritual mistrust and general disbelief are addressed, and dealing with the sins of the world is discussed in general.
