The Chapel Quotes
“Justice flows from a heart that is worshiping something. Pride can come about through a false sense of security or superiority that looks to elevate oneself above others. Pride is a root from which many other sins will grow. Pride is an attitude that says we can get along fine without God. Pride can infect us to think that we’ve got this false sense of security and superiority just in ourselves.”
“Do we have a heart of pride that we need to deal with? Do we find ourselves celebrating the failures of others ? There is going to come a day when nations will be a long-forgotten memory in light of God’s Kingdom. Jesus Christ is the King that will rule God’s Kingdom, evidenced through His personal humility, His cosmic supremacy and His glorified exultation as King of Kings. In God’s Kingdom there is no room for pride, no room for gloating. If you’re not humble, you’ll crumble.”

Devotion 06/29/2025
Our Devotion, “Caught Up in the Storm” is by Mindy Kreilein of Jasper, Indiana, a professional writing major at Taylor University. Her writings appear regularly in Vista, Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. The storm stopped and all was calm! Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” – Luke 8:24-25
Many times, we don’t understand the situations we find ourselves in. We go through a situation and ask, “Why me? What’s the purpose for this? God, why have you put me here to drown?” We tend to react in fear, just as the disciples did when the storm came on the lake. They were sailing to the other side with Jesus among them. Jesus decided to take a nap when a fierce storm came upon the lake. The boat began to fill with water, leaving the disciples shouting for Jesus. Jesus awoke and rebuked the wind and waves, then asking his men, “Where is your faith?”
I have been through plenty of storms. Not too long ago, I was drowning in an emotional storm. I felt like God had left me. I couldn’t see Him and I didn’t understand why I was suffering. At the end of the storm, Jesus asked me, “Mindy, where was your faith?” I had not put my faith in Him, because my eyes weren’t on Him: they were on the storm. I, like the disciples, had lost confidence and trust in Him that I would be safe. I reacted in fear to the storm, instead of confidence in a saving God. In the midst of your storm, where are your eyes? Who, or what, are you caught up in?
PRAYER: Lord, in the midst of life’s storms, help me to have faith that you will save me. Help me to keep my eyes on you, instead of on the storm. In your precious name I pray, Amen.

This Book Review is by Jared Derby, a professional writing major at Taylor University.
A Threat to Justice
Chuck Norris, Ken Abraham, Tim Grayem, Aaron Norris
978-0-8054-4033-1
$15.99
B&H Publishing Group
A Threat to Justice is the second book in the Christian historical fiction “Justice Riders” series by Ken Abraham, Tim Grayem, and Aaron and Chuck Norris (yes, that Chuck Norris). Despite the star-power of Chuck Norris, and the expertise of the other authors in their various fields, A Threat to Justice does not deliver on the promise of a quality novel.
The concept of the book certainly intrigues: an elite team of Union soldiers, freshly discharged from their Civil War duties, go their separate ways and confront challenges in their transitions to civilian life. In particular the book focuses on Captain Ezra Justice, the team’s former leader, and his former-slave-turned-freed-teammate Nathaniel York, who return to their home on a Tennessee plantation to find the Ku Klux Klan entrenched in the nearby town.
Unfortunately, Justice falls far short of the premise’s potential. All of the characters—the primary and secondary characters, including the heroes, villains, and neutral parties—are rendered flat, two-dimensional, stereotypical, and cartoon-ish. The plot is rather predictable, the dialogue contrived, the descriptions poor, and the writing generally clichéd. Too many cooks spoil the broth, and too many authors spoil the plot. The historical accuracy and many of the details in the book are questionable, including the descriptions and operation of some of the period firearms.
Despite all of this, the novel is not a complete loss. The authors’ enthusiasm for their subject material is manifest, and the plot, though predictable, is still entertaining. More significantly, the spiritual aspects of the book (unity of believers regardless of race, for example) were well thought-out—so much so that at times they were out of place in such a lightweight unserious novel. Younger Christian teen boys might appreciate the frequent (if unbelievable) action scenes and simplistically settled ending.
