The Chapel Quotes
“Suffering affects all of us and puts us at a real crossroads and can be overwhelming. Our response to suffering will either make us bitter or better. There is nothing sadder than a bitter joyless Christian. The same sun that melts the butter hardens the clay. Each of our trials passes through the permissive hands of God and are opportunities for us to discover God’s deeper work in our lives. Sometimes trials or are the result of simple choices that we have made and sometimes they are the result of other people’s sin against us. Often they are part of living in the chaos of a fallen broken world.”
“God is in the business of bringing glory out of suffering. It’s the tool that God uses to do His greatest and deepest transformation in our lives if we trust Him, if we let Him. All trials are faith testers. Faith finally gives God permission to come in and be Lord of every area of our lives. God’s goal is to transform our character to be more like Jesus in the way we live and love. If that is not our goal we will find ourselves at battle with God. God permits what He hates to accomplish what He loves, Christ being formed in you, Christ the hope of glory.”

Devotion 10/27/2024
Our Devotion: “The Rains Will Come” is by Alissa Goeglein, a communications student at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
“We know that the whole creation has been groaning…” Romans 8:22 (NIV)
I spent a summer in the high desert of California, counseling children from impoverished inner-city families. Perhaps compared to the concrete block that served as their usual home, this place was a paradise; however, although the desert terrain was beautiful, it also was unmistakably thirsty. The mountain’s trees seemed strangled and gnarled, to be reaching and yearning for something. Something is just not right about them, I thought. I saw the same longing mirrored in the children as they clung desperately to me when their vans were packed to go back home. To return to negligent parents and violence and rampant brokenness – Something is just not right about this, I thought.
I found myself frustrated, powerless to quench the thirst of either the trees or the abused children. Then, as I watched the loaded vans curl behind the mountainside, it rained – the sole rain of the entire summer. What a cooling reminder it was of the hope for an ultimate quenching yet to come! Though we may feel incapable to fix the vast brokenness we see in the world around us or in our own lives, Jesus is coming back to make all things right again.
PRAYER: Lord, when I feel overwhelmed by the brokenness in the world, remind me of your promise to return again. Amen.

Hope in the Land
By Olivia Newport
Shiloh Run Press, PB, 316 pages
This novel is about coming to understand and appreciate the viewpoints of others. Set in in rural Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1936, the plot features an assorted cast of characters, ranging from Henry Edison, the city government worker, to Gloria Gabrill, the Amish housewife. The book explores what it means to be different, as witnessed from the perspective of a young Amish daughter. It examines the value of hard work and humility in Minerva Swain, an English woman and housewife. It also examines what it means to get along with people from different beliefs and practices in the relationship between Gloria Gabrill and Minerva Swain.
It is a well-researched character-driven novel that delivers no more and no less than what the story promises. The tone is homey and happy—the perfect book to read after a stressful day of work. This is not sophisticated literature, but it does offer a narrative that allows readers to relax, observe life at a slower pace, recall days gone by wherein folks worked at being Christian and neighborly, and consider how God’s grace is extended to all who seek him.
