Do You Believe? Page #2

No, we have a car.

We're good.

I know it's none

of my business,

but I don't think

that's such a good idea.

I mean, she needs

to stay warm, doesn't she?

Yeah.

This may sound

completely crazy,

but I only live

a couple of blocks from here.

If you want,

you and Lily can stay the

night.

Oh, no, no.

I've got someplace else

to stay.

That's a very considerate

offer, but I'm afraid--

It's okay, Mommy.

Joe wouldn't hurt us.

He's our guardian angel.

Aren't you, Joe?

I love butterflies.

Carlos!

You're back.

You're back!

Why didn't you call

or something?

Ah, you know me.

Look at you.

This time for real?

They're not

sending you back?

No, deployment's over.

I'm a nasty civilian again.

Thank God.

Come on in.

Come on in.

You could've rung

the bell, you know.

Bobby's home.

Nah, I didn't

want to wake the boys.

It's not much.

Pretty basic, really.

Bathroom, bedroom, kitchen.

Keys.

You sure your friend's

gonna be able to take you in

at this late hour?

I promise.

He's always there for me.

Don't forget

your toothbrush, Joe.

Good call, Lily.

You gonna be all right?

Lock the door behind me.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Okay, conscious,

responsive, alert.

Here's how this is gonna go.

I'm gonna ask you

a simple question.

If you want to go home,

you say yes or nod your head.

You understand?

Last night, you ingested

a previously known allergen.

Was that an accident?

- Yes.

- Really?

Yes.

Okay, then

you're free to go.

Be a little bit

more careful next time,

unless you want to see your

name on a death certificate.

Do you have someone

to pick you up?

Didn't you guys

call my dad?

We tried, but we

couldn't get ahold of him.

Is there anyone else?

No.

Are you gonna be okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Thank you.

Take care of yourself.

So there we were,

a dozen different souls,

all moving

in different directions.

All searching.

And now you know as much

as any of us did a few days ago

before the cross

made its presence felt

in each of our lives.

When you gonna

get a haircut, bro?

'Cause it's about that time.

It's about that--

What time is it?

It's about that time.

Hey, boys, boys.

On that note,

on that note, later, G-ma.

That was good.

Thank you.

Wait a minute,

you out of here just like that?

How 'bout you clear off

the table first?

Don't look at me.

I did it last night.

You got experience

then, good.

Keshawn, get back here

and help clear this table

'less you want a whoopin'.

Better clear this up

'fore you get--

before you get a whoopin'.

Thank you.

Uh, hey, dry them

dishes off, boy.

Be nice.

I love you, G-ma.

Mm-hmm.

I guess it's time.

Hey, Pretty Boy,

come here.

What's up?

You nervous?

Nah.

Hey, look at me.

It's good to be nervous.

Yeah.

This is our one move.

We take Nefarious out,

it's a whole new world.

Everything changes for us.

This is how we make do.

This is how we

take care of our own.

But, hey, it's got

to be done right.

You with me?

Yeah.

Live together,

die together.

Live together,

die together.

I love you, bro.

I love you.

Let's do this.

Ready to do this?

Let's do this, baby.

I wanna ask you a question

that was asked of me

late last night.

Simple question, but one

that rocked me to my core.

It affected me so deeply,

so profoundly,

it could only have come

from the Holy Spirit.

The question I was asked was:

"Do you believe

in the cross of Christ?"

I mean, that's a simple one

for me to answer.

Of course I do.

The bank

is open for business.

And yet, when I got home

last night, I couldn't sleep.

It was that question

that caused me

to revisit the true meaning

of the cross.

Well, then, what does it mean

to believe?

True biblical belief

requires action,

so if you truly believe that

Christ died so that we may live,

it should not only

bring you to your knees,

but also bring you

to your feet.

The cross is a gift,

and it was paid for with blood.

But that's blood that my sins

and your sins require

as the price of our ransom.

Come on!

Get out now!

Come on, K.

My sin that

separated me from God

died with Christ on the cross.

Come on!

- You seen Nefarious?

- What?

Did you see Nefarious?

Nah! What about Little B

and 40?

That's the price

of doing business, brother.

Go, man, go!

1 John 4:
4 says

we are overcomers.

"He who is in me is greater

than he who is in the world."

Get us out of here!

Yo, we trapped, man!

Get out!

Get out, man!

P.B.!

Get the money, man!

Freeze!

Let's see your hands!

Get on the ground!

Stop!

Police!

Stop!

Stop now!

And his spirit in us

gives us all believers

the power over

the temptations of this world.

The cross of Jesus Christ

promises to love you,

forgive you, and give you

a new life right now.

Hold it right there!

We all, as captives, are free

from the bondage of this flesh.

You know, he's saving

a seat up there for you.

Nah, I ain't staying.

Are you sure?

I think you should.

Man, you don't know me.

Yes, I do.

I've been where you're going.

Believe me, the only way out

you're ever gonna find

is right in there.

Listen to me.

Listen.

He's always been there

waiting for you.

For you.

But you have to choose

to take the first step

that'll change your life.

The Bible also says

in Romans 6:
23,

"The wages of sin is death."

And because

we are all sinful--

Right there.

It is a death we all deserve.

Guess what?

The cross offers us

a way out,

the only way out.

You come to the cross

by way of repentance.

It means to change

the way you live,

to turn away from your sins.

Now, maybe there's

somebody out here tonight,

somebody who desperately--

somebody who desperately

wants to know God's love.

Please, Lord, save me.

Somebody who's tired.

Lord, please.

Somebody who's lost.

Somebody who

wants to be saved.

I'll change my ways,

I promise.

Just please

save me right now.

If that's you, I want to

encourage you right now,

right now, just open

your heart and very simply,

ask Jesus to forgive your sins.

And I want to challenge

all of us tonight.

Take out your cross

and let it be a reminder

of the amazing gift

that Christ has given us.

Because this is not

just a symbol.

It is not just an ideal.

It is the way;

it is the truth.

And if you believe it's the

truth, let your light shine.

Take up your cross

and show it!

Why'd you do it?

Do what?

You know.

The truth?

The Holy Spirit put it on my

heart that you were in trouble.

Asked me to help.

Man, you expect me

to believe that?

Doesn't matter if you do.

You're still here,

aren't you?

Speaking of which,

I kinda gotta lock up, son.

Yeah, it's P.B.

You know what to do.

Repeat, dispatch.

We have a 41 -year-old male

with his legs and lower torso

trapped under a storage tank.

This is a priority one,

requesting immediate air evac.

Copy, 81.

Stabilize in place.

Stand by for flight assistance.

ETA 30 minutes.

We don't have 30 minutes.

I need heavy rescue here now.
