The Chapel Quotes

True rest and being refilled is found in the Lord. You will find real strength and rest by going to Jesus not away from Him. There is an aspect when it comes to parenting when it is so important to be able to protect our children, but it is equally important to prepare them for release. We live in a very dangerous, evil and fallen world and our children and grandchildren are very fragile. It’s important to parent our children that leads to a release, but most importantly to develop their relationship with God. Releasing them means we are trusting in God. One of the most loving transitions you can make as a parent is to go from protector to preparer. The best way to prepare our kids is to cultivate in them a deep relationship with God, and to inspire them to pursue their world-changing destiny. Our mission here at The Chapel is to help people believe, grow, serve and to change their world. That is God’s will for each and every one of us.

Devotion 05/12/2024
Our Devotion: “Quiet Testimony” is by Micah M. Hancock of Morton, Illinois who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12

You have met these people before. They open the door for you. They invite you for dinner. They pay for lunch even though it is your turn. Everyday these people live a testimony louder than words. It is their quiet smiles and their small actions that pronounce Christ’s love to the world. Are they famous communicators or great missionaries? No, they are reflections of Christ to the people He came to save. Are you one of them?

Loving others relentlessly does not require changing our schedules or our lifestyles. It only calls for a change in our attitudes. When I decide to treat others as I want to be treated, I take the first steps toward loving them. I choose to be patient with someone, to be kind to someone, to rejoice with someone. On one of Jesus’ last days, He gave his disciples a final commandant: “Love one another.” Our Savior knew that a life of love would be the boldest testimony his disciples could carry.

PRAYER: Lord, let me love in the little things. Give me insight for how to care for others. Amen.

Book Review 05/08/2024
This Book Review is by Hope Bolinger, a professional writing major at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.

The Disciple Maker’s Handbook 
By Bobby Harrington and Josh Patrick 
Zondervan, PB, 192 pages

Discipleship wanes in a society in which churches emphasize numbers and wherein social media weakens personal relationships. Even though most churches stress the need for discipleship, many Christians have no practical methods for carrying out the biblical call found in Matthew 28:19. In The Disciple Makers Handbook, Harrington and Patrick give readers hands-on advice regarding how to cultivate this important spiritual discipline – based on years of experience and intentionality.  

The book’s strength comes from its pragmatic advice related to several facets of discipleship, including insights on who would make a complementary group member and anecdotes and situations drawn from the authors’ lives.  One weakness of the book, however, is that its authors targeted the book’s audience unevenly. If it had been directed solely at Christians further along in their spiritual maturity, then the authors should not have presented so much basic information about Gospel truths. On the flip side, if the book was meant to be a tool for recent converts, then the book should not have invested as many pages as it did in steps that should be taken by spiritually older Christians. Also, the chapters have several redundant passages. Nevertheless, overall the book is a helpful tool for believers needed a foundational understanding of the call for discipleship. Christians interested in practical advice for discipleship, particularly new Christians unaware of basic discipleship concepts or seasoned Christians interested in “multiplying disciples” will find this book helpful.
