The Chapel Quotes
“God’s Church is on the move. Even when you are in chains God is still active and moving in your life. Transformation starts to happen when God’s people come together and they love, serve and go and make disciples. Do it as one, not in competition, not church to church but as The Church. Humility and selflessness in the way of Jesus is the best way to obtain harmony. What makes a good team is different parts that agree they’re on the same team and move in step with one another, a shared identity of who they are that makes them stronger than who they could be separately. We have a lot more in common if we just see, embrace and understand our identity as God’s people, because we have collectively experienced Christ. When we take a peek at the differences we have between one another the enemy loves that. In Christ all of us have received His compassion, encouragement and love and it draws us closer together.”
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, rather in humility. Value others above yourself. Our one purpose should be loving like Christ, living like Him, and pointing people to Him as one. If we do that we will not be just known as the city of churches but the city where the Lord reigns. Be a people that come together, and remember that the unity that they have with you is greater than any difference that they see in the things of themselves. Start with prayer, and check your posture in head and heart. You have to choose to live like Jesus, to follow His example. He took up the cross and not the crown, the very same thing we are called to do.”

Devotion 04/21/2024
Our Devotion: “Perfect Father” is by Jessica G. Smith of Beavercreek, Ohio who studied professional writing at Taylor University.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48
Sometimes my dad and I do not get along well. We frequently bicker over very minor differences of opinion. He considers me to be a rebellious teenager, and I accuse him of being overly domineering. Maybe it is because I am so independently minded that he and I are too much alike and, like a magnet, we repel similar forces. Whatever the reason, being at odds with my dad can be tiresome and annoying. Perhaps it is just a phase we are both going through.
Even though my father on this earth is not flawless, I can rely on the fact that I have the perfect dad in heaven. God is my eternal father. He looks out for me. He plans the best for my life. I can depend on God to be there for me in times of struggle and need. He is perfect and He thinks that I am worth something. To Him, I was worth dying on the cross.
Anyone accepting God as a personal savior gains the perfect father. God does not replace an earthly dad, but He is an Eternal Father who cares and loves forever.
PRAYER: Dear God, let me feel Your presence in my life. Allow me fully to understand that You are the perfect Father and You love me perfectly. Let me know that I can come to You for anything I need. In Your name, I pray. Amen.

Rebellious Parenting: Daring to Break the Rules So Your Child Can Thrive
by Carrie Blackaby and Richard Blackaby
Elevate Faith, PB, 383 pages
As a mother and repeat book reviewer, I’ve read more than a couple of parenting books. Rebellious Parenting by Carrie and Richard Blackaby is not your ordinary parenting textbook. It is much more.
Using a tag-team format, father and daughter take turns discussing each topic from each one’s unique perspective, telling real-life stories from their own lives. According to the Blackabys, the goal of parenting is not simply to teach children wrong from right, but to teach them to want to do right. A quote from page 200 serves as a great example of the theme of the book: “It’s not enough to teach your children to say nice things. You want them to develop into thoughtful people who do nice things.”
The book chapters cover the usual parenting topics, but the content is as engaging as the chapter titles: Land of the Free, Home of the Clones and Well-Mannered Little Monsters are just two of more than twelve well-written, engaging and informative chapters.
One thread running through the book is that we should guard against a parenting style based on lists of rigid rules. Christ came to give us abundant life! If we fail to show our children the joy of living in Christ, of cherishing the relationship we have with Him, being a Christian can seem, to our children, more like a burden than a gift.
Parents with children of any age, as well as grandparents and prospective parents will benefit from this book. Also, it is a good resource for church children’s ministers and youth leaders.
