Tim Tebow is the man!

How can my faith begin impacting my actions? This isn’t a question that should be asked, because the answer should be obvious. Our faith should impact everything we do and every decision we make. For many churchgoers, faith is a thing that’s talked about but seldom lived. It’s easy to seem “faithful” on Sundays or in your church crowd, but honestly, how often does your faith show up the other 95% of your week?

As I’ve stated before, I love football. And yes, I’m still a bit down after my Hokies blew a great opportunity last weekend. My love for football has introduced me to a great guy who’s tough to hate. His name is Tim Tebow, and no matter what you think about the Florida Gators (Here in Nashville I could be tarred and feathered for saying those words too loud.), I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t respect Tebow. Many are ready for him to graduate, but how can you not like the guy?

I’ve read many articles about him and his family and the missions work they’re involved in. I’ve also heard him share his faith a thousand times on national TV. After big wins, like two National Championships, he points the glory to his Savior instead of accepting it for himself. I’ve never seen an athlete so consistently live a life that is truly impacted by his faith. Many athletes pray after touchdowns or thank God for His blessings before accepting an award, but I haven’t seen one live a more public life and see the type of example Tebow has been for the past four years.

When I think about this week’s lesson, Tim Tebow comes to mind. And this article by Sam Cook really bothers me. Take a few minutes and read it and let me know what you think. One thing I know for sure is that Tebow won’t change. He’ll stand tall no matter who dislikes him for his faith even if he has to stand alone, because he lives a life displaying his amazement in his God.

Now, I know he’s human and certainly not perfect, but I see him as a great example for all Christians. Do the people who know you really know where you stand? Do they see Christ in the way you live? Does your faith impact your life, or is it just something you do on Sundays?

Here are a few articles I found this week that are worth your attention and may be good discussion starters in your community time this weekend.
