The Askeladden Complex
The qualities of humility and being "down-to-earth" have been much praised among the Norwegian people. Certainly, to put on airs or pretend to be better than the people from which you came is a thing much discouraged, socially sanctioned by avoidance and "the cold shoulder". Even the King of Norway doesn't put on a big show of bodyguards and barricades, but carries himself as an ordinary man despite his title. But do Norwegian secretly desire to show off their cleverness, skill, or goodness to others in ways that will not compromise their humility?

What do you Know?
What makes a Christian? Is it knowledge of the mysteries of Scripture? Is it the ability to explain doctrines in detail? Read this anecdote (not sure if it's true, but the message hits home) and find out. While pastors and theologians need to study doctrine and teachings so they know whereof they speak, to the person in the pew, it's simply knowing this "trustworthy saying:" Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners!

The Human Race; Satin Sheet Villains
Have you ever wondered why you had that feeling of guilt after your first sexual encounter with your girl friend, boy friend, fiancée? I’m speaking to those few out there who spend a little time attempting to understand a potential partner, before jumping into bed with them. Not you whom feel your entire video collection should be categorized: blond, brunet, red-head, and you feel your sex life makes you an equal opportunity lover. All though, you can read and consider! Anyhow, Where do you suppose that guilty feeling sprang from? You took you time with this person, you feel as though you know them, and you wish to step up the relationship. Yet, you took that step, and some how there is a small, yet distinctive, uncertainty hanging about. It’s not a violation of your duty to God. Nor, is it a violation of some oath-pact with your family. Your sexual encounter is not undignified. Yet, that is what you grew up being told. You grew up being pushed from two different directions. Your nature vs. your conscience. Have you chosen sides yet? Or, are you like me, whom seems to think the fight is instigated?

Signed With Their Honor
In western culture we tend to celebrate the deaths of famous people, such as celebrities, politicians and sports figures, with much hoopla and glitz. The author figures that we have it backward, and with all due respect to the famous and near famous, we should also honor those who truly served their fellow human beings with love, selfless service or brilliance but never sent out flyers or bothered to hire a publicity agent.

V-4 Re-eh OUT FROM EGYPT
Moses warns the Israelites that choices come with blessings or curses depending on their observance of God's commandments. Customs of a foreign religion are forbidden. They must destroy all forms of idolatry and pagan worship within their midst. Previously the Israelites would build altars and have sacrifices throughout their journey, but after entering Canaan, sacrificial worship would be restricted to Jerusalem. Because of this, rules relating to slaughter and human consumption had to be modified, repeating laws of kashrut. Birds of prey are forbidden as with sea life without fins and scales. the camel and hare are also forbbiden as they chew the cud but have no true hooves, while the pig has hooves but does not chew the cud. With the prohibition of following pagan customs, comes the prohibition of alien mourning customs and self-infliction. Tithing and the Shemittah are reviewed along with charity for the poor. At the end of the parashah is a review of passover and the feast of tabernacles.

Liberal Christian Evangelizing: Exclusivity in God's Kingdom Be Damned
If part and parcel of Christian activism today includes an aggressive evangelical effort then I see liberal Christians empowered to counter the evangelizing of questionable theology and priorities of the Christian Right with an evangelical effort that builds rather than destroys, that seeks peace rather than attempts to justify war, that, like God, encourages awareness of every sparrow that falls - leaving no child, no adult, no family, no culture, no nation or race and no society behind or left out of the "neighbor" whom God says to love.
