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 11/30/2025
Our Devotion, “Tearing Her Down” is by Meghan Cousins of St. Charles, Illinois, who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.” James 3:6 (NIV)
No one was supposed to get hurt. Girls were making a list of who the cutest couples in school could be. The list was passed around. Eventually, the list got to Katrina, a quiet girl who never bothered anyone. Katrina had never been confident in herself. She put herself down, making herself feel worthless. On that fateful day, Katrina realized that those thoughts were shared by her classmates. Katrina’s name was on the list, but no other name was paired with hers. No one thought enough of her even to give her a possibility.
The pairing of Katrina’s prior feelings and her new revelation that she was unloved by her classmates was what made the situation escalate. Katrina didn’t attend her classes the rest of the week. The next week the girls were called to the office. There stood a police officer and the principle with stern looks on their faces. The girls made their way to the front of the principle’s desk. He started off by saying how disappointed he was with the girls. All three girls started sobbing. Katrina had killed herself the day the list was released. Her anguish was too much for her to handle. One phrase resonated in everyone‘s mind: “Words can kill.”
PRAYER: Lord, please help me keep a tighter reign on my tongue. Let me use my words to build others up by showing them your love; in Christ, I pray. Amen.

THE BERENSTAIN BEARS’ CHRISTMAS TREE
By Jan Berenstain with Mike Berenstain
Zonderkidz, 978-0-310-71940-3, PB, 60 pages, $12.99
It’s Christmas Eve in Bear Country, and the Berenstain Bears have no Christmas tree! Papa Bear takes Brother and Sister out to find the perfect tree. After nearly chopping down a few trees that serve as homes for various animals, Papa gets a surprise that will change his attitude about Christmas. He learns to respect life, love, and family.
The Berenstain Bears have been a beloved part of American culture since 1962, when their first book came out. These days, the books are done in rhyme, and they feature verses of Scripture to set up the theme and message of the book. Regrettably, God is only mentioned a few times, for the book’s focus is less on a Christmas attitude that reflects Christ than it is on a similar lesson that Dr. Seuss’s Grinch learned about sharing and equality in his famous story. Still, the artwork is colorful, the sentences are easy enough for beginning readers to follow, and the message is uplifting.
