Recently I have been following this ministry called "Cinemagogue". Cinemagogue is a Biblical critique or review of cinematic movies through the lenses of biblical theology. I definitely think it is worth sharing. Bellow is one of his most recent critiques on Iron Man 2 check it out.

Morning Devotional
We have been discussing off and on for several months good ways to start our day as Christians. So I thought that I may share with you a morning devotional that I will be be doing. I pray it is a great aid in giving your day a foundation to serve Christ.
Daily Devotional, A calling to be in submission to His will
Father I pray that:
• My will be in submission to your will.
• My body be brought into subjection to Your will so that I may stand daily and not be overtaken by sin.(a)
• That I may not run in uncertainty but in confidence in your Son and in compliance with your will.(b)
• Father teach me to do this by living an exemplary life according to the 6 principles found in 1Tim.(c)
• Father teach me to do this by focusing on the 16 qualifications of a Leader found in 1 Tim. 3:1-7.(d)
• Father God cause me to take heed to these principles and doctrines, giving myself over to them entirely.(d)
Father this I pray, that my life brings glory to the name of Jesus, so that I am not disqualified but rather qualified to be a leader and child of God.
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (NKJV)
(a)V.12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.V.13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 9:26-27 (NKJV)
(b)V.26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. V.27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
1 Timothy 4:12-16 (NKJV)
(c)V.12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. V.13 Till I come; give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. V.14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. V. 15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. V. 16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Our Father who is in heaven holy is your name. I pray Lord Your will be done in this world and in my life. I pray Father that I am not filled with pride but I realize every breath taken is a gift from You. I thank You Father that You have not left me to face these trials and temptations on my own but that You have provided the strength to bare them and the escape from them. Lord forgive me of my sins and wash me clean of my inequities. Bring my stubborn heart into submission and into the subjection of Your will, so I am not disqualified from Your reward and inheritance. Finally God I pray You cause in me fruits of a leader as mentioned in Your holy word. In Your sons precious name I pray. Amen
