Tebow Time.
Tim Tebow.
Saying that name in a room full of football nuts can cause some pretty intense debate. He’s known as one of the most polarizing figures in sports. People either love him or hate him. There aren’t any that fall in between. Most of the debates raised are whether or not he’s a good NFL Qb or whether he can sustain his winning. We found out that even when having a good game today its hard to win when you don’t have a star player at the wide receiver position.
I’m not here to talk X’s and O’s though. I wanna talk more about the more controversial aspect of T².
His Faith.
There have been many athletes especially in the NFL to be outspoken about their faith. Jay Feely is one of my all time favorite kickers and he’s an outspoken christian. His old Qb Kurt Warner was also. David Tyree who caught that incredible ball in the superbowl a few years back is also one. Tebow has joined the ranks of these players and others not named before he was even drafted.
What inspired me to write about him was this Sound FX segment on the NFL network last week. They miked Tim up for the Chicago game. A game where he (with BIG help from his kicker) led the team to victory in Overtime. Listening to Tim during the game, Singing rich mullins “Awesome God” in pregame warm up to encouraging his team mates, no cussing and when brian urlacher drilled him he told him great play and kept playing. He encouraged his team mates even when they made him look bad. to the most amazing thing i’ve seen in sports… Going out to lead a game winning drive to get into field goal range from his own 20 tim tebow jogged out onto the field singing “he came from heaven to earth to show the way” like he was in a sunday morning worship service.
THAT is living your faith.
I know this is going to sound as cliche’ as it gets but: I want to be like Tim Tebow. I want to live out my faith and trust in Jesus so much that when facing a stressful situation I sing. When the Brian Urlacher’s of life come and deck me in the ribs I wanna get right back up tell live good play and keep on going. Because MY God has everything under control. I want to live that faith out because its a living witness to anyone around me. Tim Tebow is a living witness of Jesus Christ. He has one of the largest platforms anyone will ever be on. Someone once said “Tebow is the Billy Graham of the NFL”. What do I want to be? Can God grant me the audience someday that Tebow has now? sure but does he have something else in mind for me? probably. Like being the Billy Graham of Georgia state football? Lord knows I don’t live up to that right now. but could I? Can you live up to being a witness for christ in your work place? your school?
Tebow is a great example of God using someone who the world thought would never succeed. Just like Moses was used by God to free his children from egypt. We don’t need to have super special talents to have an impact on this world for God. Just look at Tim Tebow… He can’t throw and He plays QB in the NFL 
Hope this encouraged you all to go make an impact for GODS kingdom.
THIS video is awesome. thought i’d share.
Sincerely,
me
