What is God’s Purpose for Government? In other words, according to the Bible, what does God expect from the leaders He establishes? Number 1 – Restrain and punish evil. Consider Romans 13:4. “For [the civil leader] is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.” Or 1 Peter 2:13-14. Kings and governors in authority are “sent by [God] for the punishment of evildoers.” Leaders are responsible to bring lawbreakers to justice and exert punishment. At the deepest level, they are responsible to wage justified war if necessary. Number 2 – Protect life and property. God puts the highest premium on human life. I know we love our pets and want to save the environment, but nothing is more valuable to God than you. Why? Because only human begins are created in the image of God. That was the very reason God gave Israel permission to terminate life when the Sixth Commandment declares “You shall not murder” (Ex. 20:13). “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man” (Gen. 9:6). Moreover, the highest responsibility of government is to protect our weakest members, especially the ones that can’t protect themselves. And number 3 – Recognize and encourage good. Good, law-abiding citizens should be recognized by their leaders. Romans 13:3, “For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same” (cf. 1 Pet. 2:14).

INSTRUCTIONS

GLAZE
Unless the instructions that came with your ABM  call for putting the yeast
in the pan first and incorporating the liquid ingredients last, pour the
milk into the baking pan of your ABM and break in the egg. If the butter is
not soft, cut it into small chunks to ensure its blending into the dough,
then add it to the liquids.
Next add the almond paste, sliced so it will blend better too. Measure in
the flour, brown sugar, and salt, and add the yeast as directed for your
bread maker.
You can use your machine's full cycle with this bread, but the quick cycle
is better. If a light color setting is available, use it as well.
As soon as the bread has finished baking, remove it from the machine,
closing the cover again, and ease the loaf from the pan. Combine the corn
syrup and warm water and brush the top of the loaf with this mixture, using
a pastry brush. Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the glaze, put the bread
gently back in its pan, and return it to the electronic oven for a few
minutes to dry the glaze a bit.
