The Chapel Quotes
“Spiritual disciplines are self-imposed acts that a person willingly enters into in order to get spiritual benefits. We live in a culture with a popular belief that a positive virtue is to satisfy every human appetite, and we live in a time and culture where we are able to do that. We need to develop a greater hunger for God. One of the best ways to satisfy our spiritual appetite is to occasionally say no to our physical one.”
“Fasting is the abstaining from food for spiritual purposes. In our moments of temptation Satan invites us to meet a legitimate need in an illegitimate way, renouncing the natural in order to invoke the super-natural. Saying ‘no’ to self in order to hear ‘yes’ from God. Fasting deepens and displays our hunger for God. The primary purpose of fasting is developing a hunger for God. The point of fasting is to take our attention off ourselves and to put it toward God. If the spiritual purpose of fasting is not God then we have failed. How much do you want more of God? How much is your soul famished for a real close intimacy that is fully satisfying solely to Him?”

Devotion 02/08/2026
Our Devotion, “Selfless Love” is by Kyla L. Sele of Portland, Oregon, who studied professional writing at Taylor University.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:1-4 (NIV)
When I was five, my mom took me shopping to buy my brother a birthday present. He was turning three and I was determined to give him the best gift I could find. When we got to the store I got distracted by all the pretty things waiting for me in the aisles, and I almost completely forgot about my brother. Finally, I tried to convince my mom that what he really needed was a Cinderella coloring book. She raised her eyebrow skeptically and asked if I was thinking of my brother or myself.
All too often, we find that our supposed good intentions are motivated by selfishness. In our self-centered culture we find it difficult to shift our focus continually from ourselves to those around us. Yet, God asks us to put others’ needs before ours, and when we remember to do this, we experience the joy of serving others. When I saw how happy my brother was pushing around the racecar I bought him, I no longer felt sad about my coloring book.
PRAYER: God, thank you very much for giving us the ability to care for each other, and I pray that we would remember to put others before ourselves just as Your Son Jesus did during His time on earth; in Your name I pray, Amen.

Reset: Jesus Changes Everything
By Nick Hall
Multnomah, PB, 192 pages
Nick Hall is an evangelist geared toward the youth of today’s generation. Reset: Jesus Changes Everything is Hall’s written outreach to any hurting, broken millennials who are looking for something more to life than just video games, loud music, and parties.
Reset‘s primary theme is just that: resetting. Hall implores his readers to reset their lives by leaving behind their struggles and pains in order to set their eyes on Jesus. Hall pulls this off in a sincere, succinct, and altogether entertaining way by using anecdotes, personal illustrations, humor, and sincere examinations of serious matters.
Rather than falling into the generic, clichéd pitfalls of many evangelistic writings, Hall refreshes (or resets) the formula with modern twists on biblical stories, and quite a lot of comedy. Perhaps the most impressive of Reset‘s feats is its voice. Hall speaks directly to his target audience, the millennials, in a voice that will be immediately understood by them. There are no flowery, theological words to be found. He writes the way millennials talk.
Aside from a few chapters feeling similar in message and structure, this book is an excellent evangelical message that is approachable and enjoyable. After reading it, readers will want to pass it along to friends and relatives and neighbors. This book is clearly geared toward a 21st century audience. Kids in their early teens to young adults in their early twenties would get the most out of its message. Included at the end of each chapter are practical methods to apply each idea or lesson to everyday life.
