You don't have to spend much time with me to know that I love the Florida Gators (both Cheryl's car and my car are dead giveaways!). So it's no stretch to see that I love Tim Tebow---our quarterback, former Heisman Trophy winner and member of two (hopefully three!!) National Championship teams.
What I really love about Tebow, besides the fact that he is an incredible football player and leader on the field, is his passion for using his platform to honor and glorify his Lord and Savior. His Heisman speech was an incredible testimony to his love for Jesus (Check out the video link to the right--a great testimony seen by millions). This week's issue of Sports Illustrated has a great article that tells us a lot about what is most important to him: http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1158168/index.htm
When asked why he likes to go visit men in prisons and share the Gospel, he replied, "You're talking to guys who have no hope, no support, who have been totally written off by the world."
Whether you are a star athlete, a businessman, a teacher, a construction worker or just an ordinary husband and father---God wants you to share the light of Christ with those around you. Romans 12:1 says "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship." Regardless of what you do or who you are, you have something very important to say. There are lost people around you who also have no hope, who have been written off by the world, who need to hear the live-saving message of the Gospel. Let them hear you!!
