What I like about this movie is that some of the most unlikely people become heroes that save the world.The most touching scene is where Russell Casse decides to lay down his life to save the day. This reminds me of the passage in 1 Cor 1:18-31 Where we are told that God uses people and things regarded as weak and foolish by the world and uses them to win the day. Here is the playlist for the whole movie

Believing in Hope Against Hope
Living the Faith Driven Life is not without it’s struggles. In fact God’s plan for the Faith Driven Life perfectly anticipates struggles and in fact exploits these struggles to achieve victory and give glory to God
There is a process similar to childbirth that results in faith that overcomes the world: There is the injection of the seed of God’s Word.

Finally, if the believer persists in faith, the victory and successfully accomplishes the vision.
