"If you love your wife, do you just tell her once?" Tim Tebow, upon being asked why he talks about God so much.

If you're a football fan, and maybe even if you are not, you are very aware of Denver's quarterback phenom - Tim Tebow. He has taken a football team that was at the bottom of their division to first place. Since he became their starting quarterback, Denver has won 7 of 8 games - some of them in ways that seem to defy explanation. At the end of each game, when the reporters question Tebow about their most recent victory, Tim starts off by giving praise and glory to Christ. This, not surprisingly, has irritated many people in our politically correct world.

But Tim Tebow does not mind. He does not offer this praise because he believes that God is a Bronco fan or that God is somehow intervening in the games because He personally likes Tim Tebow - Tebow simply gives glory to God and Christ because he has a platform to do so. And he does love God and Christ. So he says so. I think that's kind of neat.

The other thing that I like about Tim Tebow is that he gives credit to his coaches and his teammates. I find this quite refreshing in a sport that is jam-packed with people who want to call attention to their own personal greatness. I also like the fact that when he is criticized for his faith or his own personal shortcomings, he just overlooks it.

Imagine that: A person who loves God and Christ, who is quick to praise those around him , and who is more than willing to turn the other cheek. This seems to make a lot of people mad - I'm not sure quite why. Maybe it's because there are many, many people in places of prominence who feel uncomfortable in the presence of someone who talks about Jesus.

Regardless of his critics, or maybe it's partly because of them, I really like Tim Tebow. I like his winning attitude, I like his effort, and I really, really like his unabashed love for our Lord and Savior. In a world filled with profane and unrighteous people, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone who loves God and is not ashamed to say so. And, whether or not God has any part in Tebow's winning streak, I do not doubt that He is pleased whenever anyone has the courage to humbly express their faith and love for His Only begotten Son.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. Romans 1:16, NIV
