Ch5

Disclaimer: I do not own the Sg-1 characters or the bible verses.....duh

Teal'c noted that the building they were about to enter was very large and constructed out of red brick. It was maybe about two stories perhaps three high, and it had since been revised from its original structure. A sign on the building read: THE DOOR FELLOWSHIP.

"It used to be a theater you know." Tim explained as they walked from the parking lot onto the sidewalk which led from the door.

"I did not."

"The Rialto. The church is a testimony in itself. Pastors and friends and family worked their butts off to get it to where it is today, and with God's help it's become a succself house of God, with faithfull leadership and church members." He explained the church's current situation further.

"I see. With faithfullness comes succsess?"

"Seems that way. Dunno if that is completly true or not, but in most circumstances yes it does."

"Hello, Good morning Mrs. Sanders." One of the greeters greeted Mrs. Sanders with a hug as they entered the lobby of the building.

"Good Morning." The other greeted.

"Good Morning." Mrs. Sanders returned to both of them kindly. Tim followed behind his mother, and then Teal'c, whom when it was his turn was unsure of this strange new "ritual". He stood back uncertan, infront of the first greeter.

"It's okay Murray. They don't bite." Tim informed, Teal'c still uncertan accepted the offer of a hug from each greeter.

"Are you wearing your hat inside Murray?" Mrs. Sanders asked him curiously noticing that it was still set firmly on his head.

"Indeed." He replied.

"Where are we sitting?" Tim asked his mother.

"We'll sit down stairs for Sunday School, and move up in the balcany when the service starts." She informed as they made their way towards the first row of seats in the down stairs area.

Teal'c and Tim followed from behind, one of the adult sunday school teachers had already begun preaching.

"Please turn with me if you will to Proverbs, Chapter 28, Verse one through ten." The adult Sunday school teacher began as he looked into the large crowd of people. He pause momentarily from talking as he gave them a chance to look up the scripture.

Teal'c went to the table of contents in the beginning of his bible to find where this book was since he was unfimiliar with the name, silently, when he found the page he turned there, and began reading, as the teacher talked.

This is what the verses read: The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintaines order

A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked , but those who keep the law resist them

Evil men do not understand justice, but those who fear the Lord understand it fully

Better a poor man whose walk is blameless, than a rich man whose ways are preverse

He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father

He who increases his wealth by exhorbitant interest ammasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor

If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable

He who leads the upright along an evil path will fall into his own trap

But the blameless will receive a good inheritance.

As the preacher stopped reading the last verse Teal'c looked up from his Bible which he held open in that spot. He listened to what the preacher said to explained the what the scriptures ment and stories related to them. Then sunday school ended and there was a brief intermission that would lead to the praise and worship part of the main service.
