Ja Rule and Adrienne Houghton in I'm in Love with a Church Girl (2013)
Miles Montego (Ja Rule) has it all - cars, boats, good looks, mansion, money, women, but more importantly, he has a past. Miles is a retired high level drug trafficker who is now completely legitimate. Even though Miles has turned over a new leaf, the DEA can't seem to let him out of their sights. Miles' only downfall is that he is extremely loyal to his circle of friends and former colleagues who are not retired from the lucrative business. Struggling to keep on the right side of the law, Miles meets the one girl of his dreams but she's not the usual type of girl that he's used to dating. Vanessa (Adrienne Bailon) is a church girl in every sense of the word. They are tested to their last ounce of faith and strength in God and each other. God continues to chip away at Miles through struggles from his past, having to live up to his reputation, feelings of unworthiness, the death of his mother, federal charges, his friends being indicted, the strain on his relationship with Vanessa, almost losing her in a near fatal car accident, and finally the spiritual breakdown and one on one with God that brings Miles to his knees.

    so bad

    This movie was so silly and full of nonesense. church girl was with him for his money, his character was piece of crap and all of the movie is about money talks idiom . I don't know but I got GTA san andreas vibes from main character

    The movie

    I enjoyed the message that the movie gave, but I honestly thought the acting was a little amateur. The movie made me want to strengthen my my relationship with Jesus. I appreciate this movie. It came at the right time in my life. I have been struggling with committing to God. I have had some of the same questions Miles had and it made me feel human. I also saw some of the Vanessa character in me, which made me feel like I am on the right path. The movie confirmed my beliefs and made me want to do better with reading my Bible and fellow-shipping with people. It gave me patience to wait on the man God has for me. I gave up, but after watching this, I have more faith because it confirmed that God is God and God answers prayers and God has not forgot about me. IF you haven't seen this movie I suggest you do so ASAP.

    Another christian flop

    People only want God when they are sick and sad.

    Then they don't like God when they are sad. Christians don't care about the bible they just want to make it to heaven and be rich.

    This is what this films teaches us.

    Ja's acting is decent good. The other girl from Cheeta Girls, her acting has not improved at all. Its about the same. Not sure why Miles didn't end up in prison while everyone else did.

    These christian movies are really cliche and bad. They prove that christianity is a demonic drug that has nothing to do what the bible says.

    This is anything but Christian

    Well... it's that kind of Christianity so fashionable these days that offers a cool God of the world and therefore very lacking in meaning. This is what this movie is, it is a movie of the world, no matter how much they speak of God, it is empty, excessively materialistic and completely leaves aside the essence and the teachings of our Lord.

    It's sad to see something like that....

    This movie gives a terrible example, not to mention the Pastor.... seriously, what kind of Pastor is that? Makes me sick.

    Please be alert to the lie of Satan so present today in Christian circles.
