Becoming Like God

What is the goal of human existence? Reading through God's law, we find that God says to "be holy for I am holy." God is commanding us: "be like me! I've shown you what I am like - now be like me!"

This concept holds deep implications for our lives, particularly in how we treat others. With whatever authority you are given, whether within your family life, career, or local church, you should strive to handle your authority like God handles His authority.

How is God's Government Different?

This is yet another Spiritual Snack inspired by the food safety conference that I attended the other day. At this forum, there were speakers from the food safety agencies of the federal governments (FDA, FSIS, and CDC) as well several from state food safety agencies. For those of you who are not aware (as I wasn’t), the state of North Carolina has pretty much the best food safety program in the country, so it was kind of a big deal. Anyway, as I was learning about all of these different government agencies and how they were structured, some important points of God’s government came to mind.
