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 11/01/2026
Our Devotion, “Conquering the Dark” is by Tom Vick, a professional writing major at Taylor University and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
“But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in Spirit.“ I Corinthians 6:17
My friend, a brilliant artist, suffered a rough semester. Prior to this, we used to be close, often debating and teasing each other. Men need fellowship and a strong self-esteem to survive. My friend was losing. After many dating rejections, his self-confidence was gone and his heart was suffering great pain. Buying into Satan’s lies, he slept 18 hours, eating no more than a meal a day. He withdrew from college.
Most people are somewhat afraid of the dark. But for an artist who uses his imagination in everything he does, darkness can become absolutely terrifying. My friend began to lose sight of his identity. His emotions pulled him away from the church. Schoolwork eventually became a pointless burden for him. He was lonely and without hope.
After he withdrew, he needed to undergo many counseling sessions in order to bring him into a healthier state of mind. My friend stated, “I talked until I was blue in the face about my problems, but nothing changed until my counselor and I started to talk about the man Christ wanted me to become and what I had to do to achieve that.”
As Christians we must denounce the darkness and give ourselves to the light of the Father.
PRAYER: Lord, help us see y\Your light and breathe in Your wisdom manifested through Christ crucified. Amen.

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.
