AMERICAN Hungarian Journal MEDITATIONS by Dr. Bela Bonis Pastor (562) 430-0876 First Hungarian Reformed Church, Hawthorne Why do we still need the Ger­man reformer Martin Luther who was bom on Nov. 10, 1483? He lived at one of the most dynamic intersections of his­tory. He experienced firsthand the death throes of the Middle Ages and the birth pangs of modern times. The printing press was a brand new inven­tion. The modern nation-state was beginning to emerge from the shadows of feudalism. In one way or another, Luther was involved in all these changes. But as Christians, we remember and celebrate his legacy not be­cause he was a great "religious hero", but because in the very depth of his struggles, he points us beyond himself to the living God who graciously redeems us in Jesus Christ and reveals his will to us in the Holy Scrip­tures. Through his intense study of the Scriptures, Luther came to see that salvation was a radically free gift, not some­thing that could be earned or merited by good works or ex­ternal acts of any kind. Like any real gift, it must be received "by faith alone." Ar­guably, Luther’s greatest con­tribution to the Reformation was his translation of the Bible into German. He wanted com­mon people - the farm boy at his plow and the milkmaid at her pail - to "feel" the words of Scripture "in the heart." The formative impact of Luther’s Bible on the Germern language exceeds that of the King James Version on the English lan­guage. Luther also emphasized the priority of Scripture over church tradition as a source of doctrine, devotion and spiritual discipline. Above all else, Luther affirmed the centrality of Jesus Christ. The Bible is about Christ and can be under­stood only in the light of the Holy Spirit sent by Christ. The Reformation Gospel centered in Jesus Christ provided human beings with a new under­standing of their true nature. It showed men and women that each of them stood in a direct relationship with God - no church, no state, nothing what­soever stood between them and God. It made people truly in­dependent and free because they did not have to look to human institutions for their well-being and guidance. They could read the Bible, think about it, pray about it, and be instructed in it. The Reforma­tion thus conceived gave human beings their humanity back.

Pilots at United, the No. 2 U.S. airline and a unit of UAL Corp., recently began voting on their own $2.2 billion wage-cut package over the same time period and smaller unions have also cut deals. So far, the International Association of Machinists has not yet agreed to the concessions, which were broadly outlined at a total of $5.8 billion in wage cuts over five and a half years by a five­­member coalition of United unions. Individual unions then began negotiating independently with United. United is trying to cut labor costs and other expenses in order to win federal backing for $1.8 billion of a $2.0 billion loan and avoid Chapter 11 bankruptcy as large debt payments come due next month. US Has Iraq War Plan WASHINGTON - War plans in hand, Bush administration ‘offi­cials on Sunday promised “zero-tolerance” if Saddam Hussein re­fuses to comply with international calls to disarm. A new UN Security Council resolution demands that Iraq elimi­nate its weapons of mass destruction and open up to inspectors or face “serious consequences,” and top White House aides said they are watching closely to ensure Saddam cooperates. “We do not need to waste the world’s time with another game of cat and mouse,” national security adviser Condoleezza Rice said. Under the resolution, the Security Council would assess any violations and decide how to respond. But several administration officials made plain that the United States reserved the right to in­vade Iraq with or without UN approval. “We have the authority by the president’s desire to protect and defend the United States of America,” White House chief of staff Andrews Card said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “The UN can meet and discuss, but we don’t need their permission.” Added Secretary of State Colin Powell: If we find that debate is going nowhere, if the UN chooses not to act, we have not given up our authority to act with like-minded nations who might wish to join us in such an action.” The administration received support Sunday when Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo urged Saddam to accept the terms of the resolution. Rice, meantime, dismissed as “ludicrous” the call by the Iraqi president for his parliament to hold an emergency session on the resolution. “Saddam Hussein is an absolute dictator and tyrant, and the idea that somehow he expects the Iraqi parliament to debate this - they’ve never debated anything else,” Rice said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I’m surprised he’s even bothering to go through this ploy.” CROWN INTERNATIONAL MART & DELI MAGYAR ÉS Ä ÁRUK NAGY VÁLASZTÉKBAN KAPHATÓAK ♦ Eredeti Pick ♦ Friss kolbász ♦ Gulyás mix szalámi ♦ Körözött ♦ Málna ♦ Cserkész kolbász ♦ Magyar.Olasz, szörpök ♦ Gyulai szalámi Francia ♦ Teák, ♦ Csabai szalámi Tészták ♦ Mézek ♦ Téliszalámi ♦ Eredeti ♦ Sütéshez ♦ Kolzsvári magyar való szalonna befötek kellékkek ♦ Magyar ♦ Lekvárok ♦ Külömbözö disznósajt ♦ Savanyúságok kávék ♦ Párizsi ♦ Fűszerek ♦ Sütemények ♦ Friss májas,véres ♦ Piros paprika * Mákos,Diós hurka ♦ Vegeta bejgli vlapi házi főzött leves és szendvics kedvezményes árban kapható.
