聖經舊約： ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teresa 是老一輩的華裔美人， 國共內戰時從上海搬去了香港，後來又輾轉到台灣完成中學教育，在美國讀完大學後留了下來，之後靠從事貿易業致富。她是個虔誠的基督教徒，樂捐教會不少經費，也出資贊助並親自參與了教會合唱團，對於許多教會年輕兄弟姐妹(有 ABC，也有兩岸三地來的留學生和移民) 來說，她像是一位慈祥的母親， "今天我帶了 Haagen Daz 冰淇淋，我們 Bible Study 結束後吃吧" 她說，大家的眼珠子直盯著冰淇淋打轉，是啊！都忘了今日的主題是貪婪呢！
這些看似男女對唱情歌裡的歌詞，其實是詩歌裡的歌詞，挺好聽的， Bible Study 之前似乎都有唱詩歌的傳統，以前去的和現在的教會都一樣。 United States is a God fearing nation. At small town in midwest states, you can see going to the church on Sunday morning is the most important thing for the people there. Here are some interesting quotes related to religion made by the people in this country : That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invitations of it in the case of others; or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own. The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. If we get the federal government out of the classroom, maybe we will get God back in. I think the government ought to stay out of the prayer business.
