Question for fellow Christians regarding Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow
The following question was asked by DezyVol on one of the VolQuest fan forums:
Please don’t turn this into a religion bashing thread …
I’m a Christian and have always left God out of sports other than praying for player safety and humility. I’ve never thought the Almighty would have any interest in sports or their outcome.
That said, it almost hard to not at least somewhere in the back of your mind think Tebow might occasionally receive Divine assistance with sports. I know determination, motivation, preservation and all that has a lot to do with it, but does anyone think its possible that God rewards/answers Tebow’s prayers concerning sports?
I think its great that he sticks to his beliefs unflinchingly at a time when it is politically incorrect and unpopular to do so. Could the Almighty being throwing Tim a bone during games so as to better utilize him as a tool to spread the Good Word?
Just curious on your thoughts.

Throughout the Bible, God used murderers, harlots, and despots to carry His great message. Using a Gator would seem like the next logical choice.
Abortion doctor: “Am I killing? …”
Dr. Curtis Boyd: "I'll ask that the spirit of this pregnancy be returned to God with love and with understanding."
In this video, Texas abortion doctor Curtis Boyd admits he is killing people.
He is an ordained minister and says that he prays often. He even prays that the children he is killing will return to a God with love and understanding. Perhaps he should read Matthew 7:21-23:
Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?” And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.”
We suppose Dr. Boyd will ask, ”Did I not kill children in Your name?”
