I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #10

All right, Miles.

Now, let's just see

what you're made of.

Mr. Montego,

my name's Agent Carey,

and this is Agent Stokes.

We're with the IRS C.I.D.

You know what that means?

No,

but I'm sure

you're about to tell me.

IRS criminal investigation

division.

All right, yeah, and?

And, well, Mr. Montego,

that means that we have

a series of questions for you,

and we would appreciate your

full cooperation with them.

Do you know these guys,

Miles?

Yeah, they're friends of mine.

How good of friends?

Old friends.

We went to school

and grew up together.

Why?

Is that all you did

together, Miles?

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that they've been

indicted on drug charges.

It means that we found

these check stubs

that show large payments

made from your company

to each of these

individuals.

It means that this

looks like you're in business

with these guys,

and if you are,

you're in a deep mess.

First of all,

I'm a legitimate businessman.

Man, I don't have any illegal

dealings of any kind.

All right,

so I wrote them some checks.

Last time I checked,

gentlemen,

that's still legal

in this country.

Well, that depends on why

the checks were issued

in the first place.

I'm a concert promoter.

They invested

in a few shows of mine.

Do you know your friends'

source of income?

No, and I don't really care.

Well, I hate

to tell you this, Miles,

but their problems are quickly

becoming your problems.

Oh! yeah?

What kind of problems

are those?

It's a problem

when you use

illegally gotten funds

to fund even a legit business.

That makes all

of its gains and assets

up for grabs to us.

Make me believe you, Miles.

I really want to believe you.

Look, does it look like

I'm trying to hide anything

from you or anybody else?

Miles, we're giving you

a chance here

to save yourself a long

and dirty investigation

that, in the end,

can only hurt you.

Fellas, if y'all

want to go down this road,

let's do it.

I got a CPA that handles

all my financial affairs.

I'm sure,

together with my lawyer,

they can answer any questions

that y'all might have.

So if y'all gonna charge

and arrest me with something,

I suggest you go ahead

and do it

so I can bail out

and go on with my day,

but if not,

I'd appreciate it

if you showed me the door.

You have any luck with him?

Nothing.

Looks like it's bad guys: 3.

Good guys:
0.

Why don't I give it

just one last shot?

All right.

Okay, everybody out.

Let's go!

Out!

Real smooth, aren't you?

You got those guys wondering.

But I think

you're as dirty as sin.

Yeah, sin.

Isn't that what you talk about

in those sweet little

church meetings of yours?

Whatever, man.

I'm not a churchgoing man,

but I take guys like you

very seriously.

So let me give you

the raw and uncut version.

I'm gonna walk out of here.

I'm gonna give you

a few minutes

to gather your thoughts.

Then I'm gonna come back,

and it's gonna be time

for confession.

Hey.

You know confession.

I think he's clean, Chief.

Who knows?

He just might be

that choirboy after all.

We probably

should just let him go.

I'm gonna say a prayer.

Don't laugh at me, okay?

You know I'm new to this.

Dear God...

what can I say?

I give up.

I finally figured out

that You are who You say You are

and I can't do nothing

without You.

I know that You run

this whole thing

and that everything I have

really belongs to You...

including Vanessa,

even my mom.

I'm humbly asking You...

no, I'm begging You, God,

please,

please spare her life.

Please allow her

to come out of this coma

and be healthy again.

I'm here to do or say

whatever You want me

to say or do, God.

I know I don't have much

to offer.

But what I do have is Yours...

including my heart.

I want You in my life.

I want You in my heart, Lord.

I promise...

I promise to be

as faithful to You

as I possibly can.

I love You,

and I pray all these things

in Your name,

Christ Jesus.

Amen.

You're my first

You're my last

You're my future

And my past

Oh

You hold the key

To my heart

Even death

would have a hard time

Keeping us apart

Baby

Oh

Yeah, yeah

Ooh

Ooh, ooh

Oh, baby

baby

Ah

Yeah

Mm...

V?

V?

You awake?

Hey, guys, she's awake!

Come here!

Everybody come in!

V.

Good morning, church.

Good morning.

Listen,

if you have your Bibles,

say, "Got it. "

Got it.

Good.

James 1.

This is what the Bible says:

"Consider it pure joy

"whenever you face trials

of many kinds,

"knowing that

the trying of your faith,

"the testing of your faith

develops perseverance

in your life. "

And we should allow

perseverance

to have her work in our life,

because God uses that

to complete us and to mature us.

And I'm looking at a family here

this morning

who went through

a severe trial,

a beast of a trial,

the Leon family.

And you know, church,

remember,

we all prayed for them,

and we asked God

to do a miracle,

and God did answer our prayers,

and Vanessa woke up

from her coma,

and I tell you,

I just want to thank God.

To God be the glory.

Amen.

Yes.

Hallelujah.

To God be the glory.

Now,

finally the Bible says this,

that today is the day

of salvation,

that now

is the acceptable time

to receive

the Lord Jesus Christ

as our savior.

And I'm just going to open up...

I'd just like you to all

stand with me,

and I really sense

that there may be someone

here today

that would like to come forward

and kneel before us

and say, "Yes,

I'm going to open my life up

"to the Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm confessing Jesus

as my Lord today. "

Anyone want to come,

kneel before us

and open their life

before the Lord?

Excuse me, Pop.

Where are you going?

I'll be right back.

I made a promise to somebody

I need to keep.

I surrender

Yes

Yeah

Lord, I surrender

I surrender

Yeah

Yes

Yes

Lord, I surrender

I surrender all that I am

And all that I've got

Everything I am

Everything I've got

Lord, I surrender

Yo, fellas,

I hope all of y'all

are in the best

of health and spirits,

and I hope y'all

are staying out of trouble,

'cause I know how y'all like

to wild out.

Ah, man, I can't tell you

how much I miss y'all.

I can't imagine how hard it is

in there.

And as for me,

man, what could I say?

I guess God

has a sense of humor, right?

Vanessa's doing great.

She sends her love.

Man!

So much has happened

over these last couple of years.

It's been crazy

but all to the good, though,

you know?

It's a new season, man.

I finally turned in

my player card

and wifed Vanessa.

Yeah, I took the plunge.

In more ways than one.

God has been so good to me.

Sometimes I can't even

understand it.

I mean, after all I did

throughout my life,

and He never gave up on me.

And if that ain't love,

I don't know what is.

I've even been taking

these Bible classes

just so I can understand

Him and His Word

a little better.

Good news is that you guys

are short-timers now.

Just a little ways to go,
