The Chapel Quotes
“We’re all dealing with something in the messiness of life. This world is a mess, so where do we find hope? To get a clear picture we have to look back in order to look forward. We have to reflect on how God is working and moving and speaking throughout our history in order to see what He’s preparing us for. Every generation has experienced the worst it’s ever been. God in His wisdom chose to work through our imperfections to bring us into a perfect relationship with Him. “
”Hope is the courageous and confident expectation in the promises of God. We’re never guaranteed that our lives will be without mess, but even through the mess we can serve God and trust His plan over ours. We can find comfort in God’s presence. Jesus came to defeat sin and death, to redeem the mess of this world, to point us to our future. As we live in this messy time it’s important to keep our focus on the Lord. We need to be a people prepared. We are in a season of waiting and hoping, we need to repent and prepare for Jesus’ second coming. We need to reflect on the things we’ve done and are still doing that don’t live up to God’s standards, and recenter our thoughts on hope in the Lord, aligning our thoughts with His, and our will with His to change our mindset for the future. God didn’t create a mess and then abandon us to figure it out. God’s plan from the very beginning, in His great love for us was to send Jesus to bring salvation to the world, to depend on Him fully as our creator, sustainer, our Savior.”

Devotion 12/01/2024
Our Devotion, “Staying Connected” is by Kyla Martin of Elkhart, Indiana, a “Jerry B. Jenkins Writing Scholar” at Taylor University, majoring in professional writing. She is a book reviewer for Church Libraries.
Staying connected to the Internet is not always possible in foreign countries. If in Africa or the Middle East you sometimes have to find an Internet café or the business center of a major hotel in order to check your email or download information that is needed. In America we get so used to being “plugged in” to the World Wide Web, we are lost when we get “disconnected,” even for a short time.
Very much like this is our “connection” to the Holy Bible. If busy schedules or crowded agendas or improper priorities keep us from being “plugged into” the word of God, we will very quickly find ourselves stranded and out of touch with what is proper and noble and righteous.
Fortunately, the Bible is not like the Internet. There is nowhere in the world you can go that the Bible cannot immediately link you to the Lord. Knowing this, stay plugged in to the scriptures and keep an open connection to God.
Book Review 12/04/2024
This Book Review is by Alyssa Roat, a professional writing major at Taylor University.
Salvation on Death Row
By John T. Thorngren
KiCam Projects, PB, 207 pages
This book tells the story of Pamela Perillo, a woman convicted of capital murder in 1980 and sentenced to Death Row. From her humble beginnings growing up in a dysfunctional California home to her present situation in prison, her life is a dramatic and moving tale of brokenness and redemption.
The memoir delves into the depths of Perillo’s childhood abuse, her teenage drug addiction, her tragic losses, and her adulthood crimes with a tender yet matter-of-fact tone. The record of her imprisonment and trials provides deep insight into legal procedures and prison life, and her transformation into a dedicated Christ follower inspires the reader. A strong theme weaves throughout the book of the value of all people and the beauty of redemption and relying on God in uncertainty, even unto death.
The memoir is well written, making a complicated storyline understandable while keeping the reader interested. The first-person point of view drives the narrative, and fascinating details about the legal system generate interest when the story idles in court. Honesty shines through, introducing even the most broken people in a way that the reader can identify with. However, the narrative does tend to stall now and then on people who have little bearing on primary storyline, as well as on legal matters and prominent figures who have no direct connection the central character. Also worth noting, the strong stance taken against the death penalty may be controversial. Overall, the memoir is well-crafted and insightful.
The book speaks uninhibitedly about abuse, violence, and drug use, as well as the details of specific murders and lethal injection. Due to sensitive and adult themes, it is recommended for ages 18 and older. The memoir tells an inspirational story of redemption and faith. It reminds the reader of the worth of all people and God’s ability to redeem and forgive anyone. It may inspire readers to get involved in prison ministries and enhance compassion for the lost.
