Tim Tebow and Gospel Realities
ESPN has a great article about Heisman winner Tim Tebow. No, this isn’t so much about football stats, but rather how he has used his status to open doors to speak the gospel.
“No matter where I am, if I’m preaching to Muslims or in a prison, if you’re in the will of God, that’s safer than driving down the interstate,” Tebow said. “That’s how I feel about it. He’s in control of whatever happens. I’m thinking more about their needs than my needs. They need to hear what I’m sharing, so I don’t think about any sense of fear. The Lord has it under control, and he’ll take care of me.”
One day, this [championship] ring is going to rust. There are only four things that are going to last forever: God, his word, people and rewards.
This young man is a breath of fresh air when it comes to a sports figure role model. He knows that championship rings, money, and prestige will not impress God on judment day. May our vapor like lives also be spent for the cause of the gospel.
Here is some more bio info on Tim Tebow from my friend Barry Joslin.
