Tim Tebow

Because it's rare, it's hard for people who have never been exposed to it to believe it, but there actually are people who have found other things to live before besides sex and money and they are absolutely dedicated to them and motivated by them.

I'm no Tebow fanatic, but he has shown steadfast devotion to Christ according to anyone who has met him. If he is like many strong Christians that I know, his sex drive is subjugated to his desire to do God's will. While this is rare today, it happens. And, yes, there's a point.

(Check out Romans 8:5 --and the whole chapter while you're at it for an interesting take on this.)

So Tebow isn't motivated by money? Why does he do self righteous commercials and have an agent?

I don't believe that is his fault.

I believe that he would be the exact same person if he never made it to the NFL. Which tells me that its not for show.

The only downside is that the Devil goes looking to make an example of someone like Tim because of his fan base. I just hope he stays strong enough in his faith to make it through the trying times.

Tebow has it made. If he does good it's on god. If he fails miserably....well, that's on the devil!! I'm gonna have to remember that and see how it works for me.

I'm a big Vols Fan and have been since I was a kid but I will support a Christian every time I get a chance. Its is refreshing to see someone like him make it this far and still stay strong in who he is. I admit that I wouldn't have been able to stay that strong at such a young age.

I get tired of the media using who he is for money but I don't get tired of him staying strong. He has been positive through all the battles and words spoke against him.

Seriously? What I said is that the Devil will lay down a "trap" or an "attack" on Christians to try their Faith. They are the ones that choose to succeed or fail. I failed in alot of my trials and I don't blame the Devil. As a matter of fact, he makes me a stronger Christian because when I become weak he will be the first to point it out.

You can read what I said however you want to prove your point but my comments above are what was meant.

It's ok for him to exploit his religion but as soon as the big bad "media" bring it up, then it's heresy? I can see how this makes sense.

How does he exploit it? Does he make alot of money off it? Could he not sponsor alot of product if he wanted to make money?

I believe if he was money driven it would have showed along time ago and he would be sponsoring all kinds of products with the fame he has.

May be because sponsors like a big time winner to throw their brand at. A possibility.

Considering the crazy amount of jersey's sold for Denver, I would be willing to bet that a lot of sponsors have tried for his services.

Lets not let the facts get in the way. Your right that he's a very bad person and is doing all this to fool everyone so he can make more money. Its all for show. :crazy:

Not sure what facts you refer to? Your guessing that some have tried for his services isn't a fact.

Fact is:
*He sold a lot of Jersey's (after a google search he comes up second for 2011 behind Aaron Rodgers)
*He's a Christian
*He's very open about his relationship with God
*He has stayed true to what he believes for over 5 years in the spotlight and nothing negative that has concrete evidence has come out (I say this because I am sure someone heard something about him somewhere which may or may not be true)
*He has been all over the media so much that other players have expressed that they are tired of hearing about it which shows that he is very "marketable".

He isn't perfect but atleast he shows he has a heart and its a good one. Its refreshing to see Christians show their faith. It could be at Walmart, or on a tv show but in this case its a QB for the NFL. I teach my kids about being good hearted and caring about others more than themselves.

I admit that I would have never shown myself as a role model but now I do help men change their lives for the better. Its hard to see so many fail that when you see one succeed in this world it is refreshing.

The media wouldn't be all over him if he weren't "Tebowing" all over our TVs. Does that really reflect the humility taught in the Christian religion? He has capitalized on his self-aggrandizement, no doubt.
