The top story on The Drudge Report right now is Tebow Cut By Eagles and I'll use that to bring back these thoughts from a 2010 post. I've written on this young man a few times over the years and the message has been basically....get out of football and use your celebrity to help our nation......run for Congress, for they are an '0-fer' team that needs help bad!
There's a entry in my 1981 Complete Runner's Day-By-Day Log and Calendar by James Fixx that always brings a smile to my face, Saw Chariots of Fire tonight. Below this is an entry that does not bring a smile, weight 160 lbs.. Eric Liddell's dedication and honor to this religion of his meant a lot to me when I first saw the film........I don't know a lot about Tim Tebow for I don't follow college football that much other than to read an article here and there. I did see a few minutes of yesterday's Florida vs Florida State game. Tim Tebow had Heb 12:1,2 in the eye black below his eyes, something normal for him I understand.
I have to say that I never heard announcers give accolades quite as exemplary to anyone as they did to this young man yesterday. He must be an extraordinary athlete and leader and will undoubtedly cause many young athletes to reassess the Christian message and to encourage young believers
Should Tim Tebow decide to play in the NFL he will have many more opportunities to express his faith in Jesus Christ and will have an effect on some but the greater glory to Christ might be to say no to professional football on the Lord's Day because of the negative effect it has had on our being an informed citizenry and on the Christian life. From what I have read about this incredible young man, if the historic and scriptural evidence of the Lord's Day is placed before him, I would not be surprised if he passed on the NFL and sought God's will in his life.
Note: I was obviously wrong on this last sentence. Tim Tebow is indeed an exceptional young man. I have some advice for him.......give up football Tim, read Michael Horton's Putting The Amazing Back Into Grace and then Mark Levin's Plunder And Deceit and then run for Congress.....if we still have one.
