Gordon: A SIGN FROM

GOD.

IS THIS REALLY

HAPPENING?

Gordon: IN THE

STRANGEST PLACE.

I JUST SAID THIS

PRAYER, AND ALL OF A

SUDDEN YOU SHOWED UP IN A

THIS NIGHTCLUB TO TELL ME

JESUS WANTS YOU TO FOLLOW

HIM.

Gordon: SEE HOW THIS

D.J. RECEIVED A DIVINE

MESSAGE ON TODAY'S "700

CLUB INTERACTIVE."

ON "700 CLUB INTERACTIVE,"

WE USE TECHNOLOGY TO PRAY

FOR EACH OTHER AND EXPLORE

TOPICS THAT MATTER TO YOU.ER T

WATCH WHAT GOD IS DOING IN

THE WORLD TODAY.

WELL, WELCOME TO THE SHOW.W.

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN GOING

IN ONE DIRECTION, AND THEN

SOMETHING CAUSES YOU TO

RADICALLY CHANGE COURSE,

YOU'VE HAD A DEFINING

MOMENT.

PETER HASS HAD ONE WHILE

HE WAS SPINNING RECORDS IN

A CLUB.DS I

Terry: AS A RAVE

D.J., PETER LIVED A

CARE-FREE EXISTENCE, THAT

IS UNTIL TWO BACK-TO-BACK

LOSSES ROCKED HIS WORLD

AND MADE HIM DO SOMETHING

HE HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE.

OU K

YOU KNOW, BELIEVE IT OR I A

NOT, I ACTUALLY GOT SAVED

IN A NIGHTCLUB.

I ACTUALLY GAVE MY LIFE TORIST

CHRIST IN A NIGHTCLUB.

I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A HAR

LITTLE HARD FOR SOME OFU TO

YOU TO IMAGINE.

BUT I ACTUALLY USED TO BE

A RAVE D.J., AND I WOULD

GO INTO ALL OF THESE

DIFFERENT NIGHTCLUBS WITH

MY TWO TURNTABLES AND MYLD I

RECORDS.

I LOVED THIS STUFF.

I WAS HANGING OUT WITH ALL

SORTS OF CRAZY PEOPLE,

THAT WERET IN ALL SORTS OF

CRAZY LIFESTYLES.

NATURALLY, I ENDED UP

GETTING CAUGHT UP IN A LOT

OF THIS MESSED UP STUFF

WITH ALL OF THESE PEOPLEG TO

JUST OUT THERE TRYING TO

EXPERIENCE LIFE.IF

OF COURSE, AT THE TIME, IF

YOU HAD TALKED TO ME, I

THOUGHT I HAD BEEN THERE,

DONE THAT WITH

CHRISTIANITY.

I HAD NO INTEREST IN

CHRISTIANITY.

CHRISTIANITY WAS ABOUT

DEAD RITUALS AND ABOUTSM A

LEGALISM AND OPPRESSION,

RIGHT?

BUT IN MY HEART, I KNEWEW

THERE HAD BE TO MORE OUT

THERE.

LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE, I

KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A GOD

SOMEWHERE.D

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHO ORN'T

WHAT THAT GOD WAS.

AT THAT SEASON IN MY LIFE,

I WENT THROUGH A

PARTICULAR BAD SPOT.

MY GIRLFRIEND, AT THE

TIME, WHO IS NOW MY WIFE,

SHE ACTUALLY WALKED IN ON

HER FATHER, NOT TOO LONG

AFTER HE HAD COMMITTED

SUICIDE WITH A GUN.

AND ALSO THAT SAME WEEK,

ONE OF MY OTHER FRIENDS

HAD DIED IN A CAR

ACCIDENT.FU

TWNEO FUNERALS IN THE SAME

WEEK.

AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, LIKE

MANY PEOPLE IN THATHA

SITUATION,T YOU START

ASKING DEEPER QUESTIONS

ABOUT LIFE.

IS THERE A T GOD?

AND WHAT IS THE MEANING OF

LIFE?

I JUST -- I STARTEDAR

SPIRALLING INTO THIS

DEPRESSION BECAUSE I KNEW

I JUST COULDN'T FAKE LIFE

ANYMORE.

I HAD TO START ASKING

DEEPER QUESTIONS.

BECAUSE ONCE YOU REALIZE

HOW FRAGILE LIFE IS, IT

CONFRONTS YOU WITH THE

BRUTAL FACTS.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF

LIFE?

I REMEMBER ONE NIGHT I WAS

ACTUALLY WORKING AT A

NIGHTCLUB, AND I WAS JUST

DEPRESSED OUT OF MY MIND.OF M

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS,,

BUT I WAS IN THE SECOND

FLOOR OF THE D.J. BOOTH,

LOOKING DOWN ON EVERYONE,

AND, OF COURSE, EVERYBODY

WAS DRUNK, EVERYBODY WAS

STONED OUT OF THEIR MINDS.EIR

AND I REMEMBER THINKING,

MAN, THIS IS SO STUPID.E DO

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

EVERYONE HERE IS JUST AS

CLUELESS AND AS EMPTY AS I

AM.

I DON'T KNOW, I WAS JUST

SO OVERWHELMED BY THE FACT

THAT WE'RE ALWAYSRSEL

DISTRACTING OURSELVES WITH

DRUGS OR WITH

RELATIONSHIPS OF THE

OPPOSITE SEX. HAS

I KEPT THINKING, THERE HASE MO

GOT TO BE MORE THAN THIS.S A

THERE WAS THIS MOMENT

WHERE I WAS TOTALLYVE E

OVERWHELMED.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE

NEVER THOUGHT LIKE THAT

BEFORE. ASK

BUT SUDDENLY THE THOUGHT

OCCURRED TO ME, ASK GOD TO

REVEAL HIMSELF.

SOMEONE HAD CHALLENGED ME

TO DO THAT BEFORE, AND I

THOUGHT THAT IS THE

WEIRDEST THING I HAD EVER

HEARD. MOM

BUT AT THAT MOMENT, I

THOUGHT, I HAVE TO DO

THIS, I HAVE TO ASK GOD TO

REVEAL HIMSELF.HE D

RIGHT THERE IN THE D.J.

BOOTH, I PRAYED ONE OF THE

MOST BIZARRE PRAYERS I

EVER PRAYED IN MY LIFE.

I LITERALLY PRAYED THIS.

I'M, LIKE, GOD, WHOEVER

YOU ARE, WHATEVER YOU ARE,

IF YOU CREATED THE

UNIVERSE, YOU SHOULD BE

POWERFUL ENOUGH TYOO SHOW ME

WHAT RELIGION IS THE RIGHT IS

RELIGION.

LIGHTNING BOLTS ACROSS THE

SKY.

ISLAM, BUDDHISM, ALL OF

THE ABOVE.

I THOUGHT, IF GOD IS THAT

POWERFUL, HE SHOULD BE

ABLE TO DO THAT.

I PRAYED THIS HEART-FELT

PRAYER -- KIND OF LIKE IF

YOU'VE EVER SNAPPED OUT OF

A DAYDREAM -- I THOUGHT,

WHAT AM I DOING?

I'M PRAYING.D

AND I THOUGHT, MAN, DO IX TO

NEED A CIGARETTE.

I THREW ON A DANCE MIX TO

GO HAVE A SMOKE BREAK.

I WAS WALKING OUT OF THE

D.J. BOOTH, AND WENT FROM

THE SECOND FLOOR TO THE

FIRST FLOOR, AND LITERALLY

ONLY ABOUT 30 SECONDSSECO

AFTER I HAD PRAYED THIS

PRAYER IN THE D.J. BOOTH,OOTH

A TOTAL STRANGER WALKS UP

TO ME AND HE TAPPED ME ON

THE SHOULDER AND HE

BASICALLY SAID, DUDE, I

KNOW THIS IS TOTALLY

STRANGE, BUT JESUS WANTSESUS

YOU TO FOLLOW HIM.

AND I'M, LIKE, WHAT DID

YOU JUST SAY?

I'M FREAKING OUT AT THIS

POINT.

AND I THINK I GRABBED THE

GUY.

I HAD NO -- I PROBABLY WAS

COMPLETELY INTIMIDATING TOTING

HIM, AND HE FINALLY

REPEATED IT.RDLY

JESUS WANTS YOU TO FOLLOW

HIM.

AND I'M, LIKE, WHAT DO YOUAN?

MEAN?

AND OF COURSE IN THEHE NEXT

COUPLE MINUTES, HE GAVE ME

THE MOST AWKWARD GOSPEL

PRESENTATION YOU HAVE EVER

HEARD.

HOW WE'RE SEPARATED FROMOD W

GOD WITH SIN.CK

IED WAS SO SHOCKED.

TALK ABOUT A SURREAL

MOMENT.

I JUST MADE THIS PRAYER

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU

SHOWED UPU IN THIS

NIGHTCLUB TO TELL ME JESUS

WANTS YOU TO FOLLOW HIM.

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE

WORDS LEAPT OUT OF MY DO?

MOUTH.

I SAID, TELL ME, WHAT AM I

SUPPOSED TO DO?

AND I THINK HE WAS CAUGHTLIKE

OFF-GUARD FOR A SECOND,

LIKE ARE YOU MOCKING ME,

LIKE IT SHOULDN'T BE THISSY.

EASY.

BUT HE HAD NO IDEA HE WAS

AN ANSWER TO A PRAYER IER

JUST PRAYED.

HE IS A LITTLE STUNNED.

AND HE IS, LIKE, REALLY?I'M

AND I'M, LIKE, TELL ME

WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO?RAY.

AND HE WAS, LIKE, I GUESSI'M,

WE COULD PRAY.

I'M, LIKE, OKAY, LET'S DO

IT.

HE PULLED ME INTO A NEARBY

BOOTH, AND HE, LIKE,

GRABBED MY HANDS.

AND RIGHT THERE IN THE

NIGHTCLUB, I REPEATEDER

AFTER HIM THIS CLASSIC,

OLD-SCHOOL SINNERS'

REPENTANCE PRAYER.

AND FRANKLY THAT WAS IT.

I IMMEDIATELY GOT PLUGGED

INTO A

CHURCH THE VERY

NEXT MORNING, AND THAT WAS

IT.

I THINK I FREAKED OUT ALL

OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

AND WORK.

THERE IS NOBODY THAT IS

BEYOND THE GRACE OF GOD.

AND I THINK THAT EVERYBODYTHIN

HAS THAT LOVED ONE THAT,

GOD, CAN YOU REACH THATY

FAMILY MEMBER.

I'LL TELL YOU, IF GOD CAN

COME TO MY NIGHTCLUB, I'LL

TELL YOU WHAT, GOD CAN

REDEEM ANYONE.

Gordon: AND HE CAN

REDEEM YOU.EM

AND THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT

HE'LL SHOW UP FOR YOU.

AND HE'LL BE JUST AS

DRAMATIC AND JUST AS

GENTLE, IF YOU PRAY THATRAYE

SAME PRAYER.

HERE IS PETER'S PRAYER:

GOD, IF YOU'RE THE CREATORL,

OF THE UNIVERSE, IF YOUCOUL

REALLY ARE ALL-POWERFUL,

COULD YOU AT LEAST SHOW ME

THE RELIGION TO FOLLOW.

IS IT ISLAM?

IS IT BUDDHISM?

WHAT IS IT?

IS IT NONE OF THE ABOVE?

HOW DO I COME INTO CONTACT

WITH YOU.

HOW DO I MEET YOU?

AND THEN HAVE A STRANGER

COME TO HIM AND SAY --

WITHIN A FEW SECONDS --JESU

JESUS WANTS YOU TO FOLLOW

HIM.

HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH,

AND THE LIFE.

NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER

BUT BY HIM.

THESE AREN'T MY WORDS.

YOU FIND THESE IN THE

BIBLE, IN THE GOSPEL OF THE

JOHN.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OFE TH

JESUS.

WHERE HE PROCLAIMS HE IS

THE SAVIOR.

HE IS THE DOORWAY.

NO ONE COMES BUT THROUGH

HIM.

WHY?

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T MEDITATEN'T

ENOUGH.

YOU CAN'T LIVE RIGHT RIGHTEOUSLY

ENOUGH.GS T

YOU CAN'T MAKE UP FOR ALL

OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'VETH

DONE WRONG.

ALL OF THE OTHER RELIGIONS

OF THE WORLD -- ALL OF

THEM -- ARE ALL ABOUT HOW

YOU CAN PERFECT YOURSELF

SO THAT A RIGHTEOUS AND SOM

HOLY GOD WILL SOMEHOW PAY

ATTENTION TO YOU.RI

CHRISTIANITY IS THEST ONLY

ONE WHERE A SAVIOR COMES

AND HE SAYS, I KNOW YOU

CAN'T DO IT.

BUT I CAN DO IT FOR YOU.

GOD WILL BECOME YOUR

SALVATION.

HE'LL DO IT ALL.

HE'LL PAY THE ENTIRE PRICE

FOR IT, SO THAT YOU CAN

HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH

HIM.

IT IS THE GREATEST NEWS

THE WORLD HAS EVER HEARD,

THAT YOU CAN COME INTO

CONTACT WITH A LIVING GOD,

ALL BECAUSE OF JESUS.

SO IF THIS IS FOR YOU, IF

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, YOU K

REALLY WANT TONO KNOW YOUR

CREATOR -- WHAT'S THE WHA

PURPOSE OF LIFE?

WHAT'S ALL OF THIS ABOUT?

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRAY

THE SAME PRAYER THAT PETER

PRAYED..

BUT I'LL ADD A VARIATION

TO IT.

INSTEAD OF ASKING WHICH

RELIGION IS RIGHT, ASK

THIS: JESUS, IF YOU'RE

REAL, IF YOU CAME FOR ME,

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HAVE

A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME, IF

YOU REALLY WANT TO SAVE

ME, COULD YOU SHOW ME?

COULD YOU SHOW UP FOR ME?

COULD YOU FORGIVE ME?

COULD YOU SET ME RIGHT?

COULD YOU CHANGE ME?

AND IF YOU PRAY THAT WITHHEAR

ALL OF YOUR HEART, HE'LL

ANSWER, AND HE'LL SHOW UP

FOR YOU.

WHY?

BECAUSE HE PROMISES TO.

AND HE ALWAYS BACKS UP HIS

PROMISES.

IF YOU

NEED HELP WITH THIS

PRAYER, IF YOU NEED

GUIDANCE ON IT, WE'RE HERE

FOR YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL

US.

Gordon: STILL AHEAD,

AN OLYMPIC SPRINTER WHO

WANTED TO BE THE FASTESTD WA

MAN IN THE WORLD, AND WAS

WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO

MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

ACTUALLY, I WOULD HAVE

SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL.

I WANTED TO BE GREAT.

I WANTED TO BE KNOWN AS

THE GREATEST EVER.

Gordon: SEE HOW HE

GOT WHAT HE WANTED, BUT

Gordon: WHAT WOULD MOS

YOU DO TO GET THE ONE

THING YOU WANTED MOST INWELL

THE WORLD?

IF YOU'RE TIM MONTGOMERY,

YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING,

EVEN SELL YOUR SOUL TO THEED

DEVIL.

TIM GOT WHAT HE WANTED.002

IN 2002 HE SET THE RECORD

IN THE 100-METER RACE TO

BECOME THE FASTEST MAN IN

THE WORLD.

BUT IT COST HIM

EVERYTHING.

Andrew: TIMAD O

MONTGOMERY HAD ONE GOAL IN

LIFE: TO BE THE FASTEST

MAN IN THE WORLD.

AND HE WAS WILLING TO DO

WHATEVER IT TOOK TO GET

THERE.

ACTUALLY, I WOULD HAVE

SOLD MY SOULSO TO THE DEVIL.

Andrew: IN HIS HOMEOUTH

TOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA,

TIM GREW A REPUTATION AS

THE FASTEST KID IN TOWN.

IN HIS MIND, IT WAS AN

ANSWER TO PRAYER.O PR

BECAUSE I ASKED GOD FOR

IT.

I ASKED GOD TO MAKE ME

FASTEST.

Andrew: AS A RISINGS

TRACKPR STAR, TIM WAS PROUD

WHEN HE LETTERED IN TRACK, BU

AS AN EIGHTH GRADER.

BUT BY HIGH SCHOOL, THAT

WASN'T ENOUGH.

WHEN I SAW MYSELF ON

THE FRONT PAGE, THAT

CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ME.

IT WAS NOTHING ABOUT THE

LETTERMAN JACKET NOLE MORE. WAS

IT WAS ALL ABOUT MAKING

FRONT PAGE.

Andrew: IN COLLEGE,E,

HE SET THE WORLD'S JUNIOR

RECORD IN THE 100-METERNIOR

WITH A 9.96.

I HAD ADIDAS CALLING

ME, I HAD NIKE CALLINGNG M

ME -- I HAD EVERYONE

CALLING.

Andrew: TIM LATER

LOST THAT TITLE ON A

TECHNICALITY.

THE TRACKET WAS THREE METERS

SHORT.

HE WAS UPSET AT FIRST, BUT

HE SIGNED A $215,000

CONTRACT WITH AC ASIX TO RACE TO

OVERSEAS.

YOU COULD WAKE UP AND

GO BUY WHAT YOU WANTED TO

BUY.

BUT THEN IT WAS OVER.GOT

AND THEN YOU'D GO, I HAVE

TO DO THE NEXT RACE

BECAUSE I JUST BOUGHT THIS

$15,000 WATCH.

Reporter: HE EARNED A

MEDICAL IN 2000, BUT HE

WANTED MORE. I

I WANTED TO BE GREAT.

I WANTED TO BE KNOWN AS

THE THE GREATEST EVER.

Andrew: TO HIM, THAT

MEANT EARNING THE TITLE OFTLE

FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD. THE

AT THE TIME, IT BELONGED

TO TEAMMATE MAURY SCREEN,

AND TIM WOULD DO ANYTHING

TO TAKE IT FROM HIM, EVEN

IF HE HAD TO CHEAT TO WIN.O

A LOT OF FIGHTING.

IF I'M READY TO SELL MY

SOUL TO THE DEVIL TO WIN,

WHY NOT TAKE SOMETHING TO

WIN.

Andrew: THAT SOMEBODYNG H

WAS STEROIDS.R OF

THE ONLY THING HOLDING HIM

BACK WAS THETH FEAR OF

GETTING CAUGHT.AV

THEN HEE MET VICTOR, WHO

CLAIMED TO HAVE DRUGS THAT

WERE UNDETECTABLE.

TIM CONVINCED HIM IT WAS A

DIVINE APPOINTMENT.

THE FIRST THING I SAID,

IT'S GOT TO BE FROM GOD.

HOW IS THIS, HOW DO I RUN

INTO A GUY WHO HAS

SOMETHING THAT CAN BEAT

THE TESTERS WITH NO

CONSCIOUSNESS.ST S

I JUST SAID, EVERYONE IS

DOING IT.

I'VE BEEN BLESSED BY GOD,

AND HERE WE GO.

VINCENT MONTGOMERY --

MONTGOMERY WINS IT.

THE TIME, 9.78 IS THE

RECORD.

Andrew: IN 2002, TIM

ACHIEVED HIS GOAL: HE

BECAME THEHE FASTEST MAN IN

THE WORLD.

I JUST HEAR THIS CROWD

JUST ROARING AND ROARING.

AND THE CLOCK SAYS 9.78.

Andrew: BUT HIS

VICTORY WAS SHORT-LIVED.

AND EVERYTHING WENT

BLACK.ter:

Reporter: WHEN VICTOR

CONTI HAD BEEN ARRESTED,

AND TIM WAS IMPLICATED

ALONG WITH MARY JONES, HE

WAS SERVED A SUBPOENA TO

GO PARTICULA BEFORE A GRAND JURY.

I TOLD MYSELF -- I

SAID, WHAT DO THEY HAVE?

I'VE NEVER TESTED

POSITIVE.EY H

WHAT DO THEY HAVE?

Andrew: THEY HAD LAB

SAMPLES FROM BOTH TIM AND

MARION.

IT WAS ENOUGH.

THE ANTI-DOPING AGENT SEE

SUSPENDED TIM FROM

COMPETITION FOR FOUR

YEARS, AND STRIPPED ALLAWAR

RECORDS AND AWARDS FROM

2001, INCLUDING HIS

COVETED TITLE.

TIMTI SAID HE TURNED TO THETH

ONE THING HE THOUGHT COULD

REPEAL THE DECISION.

I'VE GOT MONEY.

I'VE GOT THE BEST LAWYERS.

I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I AIN'T GOING TO GO TO GOD

ON THIS ONE.

I'M GOING TO MONEY.

Andrew: BUT THE

APPEAL DRAGGED ON FOUR

YEARS AND HE WAS OUT OF

MONEY.

HE GOT INVOLVED IN A

COUNTERFEIT RING AND EVEN008,

BEGAN DEALING HEROIN.T

IN 2008, HETO WAS ARRESTED

AND SITTING IN JAIL.

I TOLD MYSELF, LIFE IS

OVER.

I WAS GOING TO GET TO

PRISON AND TRY TO FIND A

WAY TO DIE.

Andrew: LOCKED UP IN

THE PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA,

JAIL, TIM SAID HE HAD NO

HOPE UNTIL HE BEGAN TO I S

TALK TO GOD.

I SAID, GOD -- , I ASK FOR

FORGIVENESS.

I KNOW I CAME TO YOU A LOT

OF TIMES, I KNOW I LIED TO

YOU A LOT OF TIMES, BUT ON

THIS DAY HERE,LORD, I PRAY

THAT YOU FORGIVE ME.

Andrew: TIM

RECOMMITTED HIS LIFE TO

JESUS CHRIST. HIS

AS HE READ HIS BIBLE AND SAI

PRAYED, HE SAID HIS

OUTLOOK BEGAN TO CHANGE

BECAUSE HE LET GOD WORK IN

HIS LIFE.

HE ALSO BEGAN TO

EXPERIENCE IT.

IT'S A FEELING THAT'S

KIND OF LIKE THAT CHANGES

THINGS INSIDE OF YOU.

IT IS WAY BEYOND WHEN I

CROSS THE FINISH LINE WITHE WI

MY HANDS UP.

IT IS WAY BEYOND THE

FEELING THAT I FEEL WHEN

I'M ON THE PODIUM, AND I'M

SINGING THE "STAR-SPANGLEDGL

BANNER".

IT IS WAY BEYOND THAT.

IT IS A FEELING OF, I CAN

REST NOW.

Andrew: TIM SERVED

FOUR AND A HALF YEARS IN

PRISON.

TODAY HE IS MARRIED TO

JAMBALI, RAISING A FAMILY

AND TRAINING YOUNG PEOPLENI

IN TRACK AND FIELD.

I CAME BACK OUT HERE,

AND I SAID, I GOT TO GOO

SEE THE TRACK.

AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO THEO TH

TRACK, AND IT DIDN'T MAKE

ME FEEL LIKE I USED TO

FEEL, I SAID THANK YOU,ID,

GOD.

I SAID THANK YOU, GOD.

THE ONLY PERSON WHO WILLTHE

TAKE THE TASTE OUT OF YOURIT O

MOUTH, THE LUST OF WANTING

TO WIN, IS GOD.

Gordon: THE LUST OF

LIFE, THE PRIDE OF LIFE,

ALL OF THOSE THINGS WE

THINK ARE SO WONDERFUL,

AND WE'LL BE HAPPY AND IF

WE'LL BE SATISFIED IF WE

ACHIEVE THEM, ONLY TO

DISCOVER, NO, IT DOESN'TM'S

SATISFY.

YOU WATCHED TIM'S STORY

AND YOU LOOK AT SOME OF

THE DECISIONS HE MADE, AND

IN HINDSIGHT, YOU SHAKE

YOUR HEAD AND GO, WHAT

WERE YOU THINKING? THE

BUT FOR ALL OF US, THE

ENEMY SHOWS UP AS AN ANGEL

OF LIGHT.

HE SHOWS UP AND SAYS, I'LL

BE THE ANSWER HERE; I'LL

GET YOU THROUGH THIS.

IF YOU TAKE THIS CERTAIN

PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING

DRUG, YOU'LL GET THEYOU

RECORD YOU WANT, ANDNT A

NOBODY IS EVER GOING TO

FIND OUT.

YOU'LL NEVER BE CAUGHT.

AND YOU START THINKING,

THIS IS AN ANSWER TO MY OF

PRAYER.

WHERE INSTEAD OF SEEKING

GOD FOR YOUR ANSWER, YOU

SAY, I'M GOING TO TRY TOHE E

FIND A WAY TO GET MONEY.

AT THE END OF ALL OF THAT,

YOU KNOW WHERE THAT LEADS.

IT SEEMS OKAY AT THE TIME,

BUT IT IS ONLY IN

HINDSIGHT THAT YOU GO, I

MADE SUCH A TERRIBLELE M

MISTAKE.

I WISH I COULD DO IT ALL

OVER AGAIN.

THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU CAN.

GOD IS ABLE TO SET THINGS

RIGHT.
