The Tim Tebow Effect
By John Ingrisano
Jan 18, 2012 - 8:38:58 AM
Denver Broncos Quarterback Tim Tebow has stirred up a lot of controversy this year with his on-his-sleeve Christian faith. I have no opinion either way about the man, except that (A) he seems genuine in his faith, the expression of which is tasteful and humble, in spite of how naysayers want to pretend otherwise; (2) hooters and mockers have delighted in, well, hooting and mocking; and (3) those same hooters and mockers have done soooooo much to further the cause of faith in this country. Kind of funny, really. For example, it used to be that, every now and then, some lone soul would hold up a sign at a sporting event that read “John 3:16.” These days, in small part due to Tebow, and in large part due to his critics, every National Football League fan knows the reference. Let’s say that number is 40 million people (and, yes, I’m just making that number up). Let’s say that just five percent, or two million, people actually crack a Bible and look into it. Of that two million, let’s say about ten percent, or 200,000, keep on reading and maybe, just maybe, find faith. Not bad. My point: It just tickles me how one man who quietly kneels to thank God (no, not for victory, but for his ability to do his best) can have his words and his ways carried on the shoulders of others … some believers, many not. “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” -John 3:16 Reminder: We are not in charge. What a great feeling to ask God to guide us in our decisions, our work, and our attitudes each day … and then just let it go. Trust. So, let go and let God. He is in charge, and He will take us where and to whom he knows is best. Have a joy-filled day.
