Chapel today

The theme of the very first chapel today is "Transformed." Romans 5 was where the key Scripture, especially 5:12' "therefore just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned..." among many other Scriptures. In fact, the opening singing was prefaced by the reading of the scripture in this passage.   As I listened to Matt Mercer, the school chaplain,  I was heartened by the fact that our school chapels are intricately intertwined with the Word of God.  John 14:6, Romans 5:1, Romans 5:21, Ephesians 2:8... Passages pertinent to the message that sin closes us off but faith in Christ is the pathway to Heaven.   Lord, spare us from onstage entertainers and anecdote-only chats.  Give us all - teachers and students alike - the true, slam-into-the-soul Word directly from You through Your speakers.
