Why I don’t (yet) believe in the restoration of Ted... I have been following the Haggard story from the very beginning of his ministry and I really appreciated his book “The life giving church” – I still like the book. Truth is truth no matter who speaks it out, independent of their circumstances. I posted articles on my former blog and wrote about Ted and the scandal that was unfolding as he was "caught" in contact...

Using loopholes in American Football – Tim Tebow’s creative approach…

Category : evangelism, Featured, global, Jesus Christ, lifestyle, Relationships

Tim Tebow, a Christian who plays quarterback in American football has forced a new rule in the NCAA football season because Tebow, during his college football career, carried (Biblical) messages on his eye black.  “The Tebow Rule” dubbed by media banns messages on eye paint.

In the 2009 BCS Championship Game, he wore John 3:16 on his eye paint, and as a result, 92 million people searched “John 3:16″ on Google during or shortly after the game. Additionally, later, when Tebow switched to another verse, there were millions of searches of “Tim Tebow” and “Proverbs 3:5-6″ together. Tebow stated of the searches “It just goes to show you the influence and the platform that you have as a student-athlete and as a quarterback at Florida”.

On July 29, 2010, Tebow signed a five-year contract with the Broncos which places him under the “Tebow Rule”. However, you can’t keep a good man down… Tebow has already found creative ways to pass on his messages to the (new) audience… Last weeks he re-invented himself and his way of communication by printing messages on his wristband – creating new commotion in the world of Football. I like that! As it says in the word of God: Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity,… (Eph 5:15)

Luke 2:10-11 “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.’”

That’s a great message during the Christmas season!

You wonder how things work out for professionally?

  • On October 17, 2010, Tebow scored his first NFL touchdown, which was a five-yard running play against the New York Jets.
  • Tebow started his first NFL game on December 19, 2010, which was a 39-23 road loss to the Oakland Raiders.[97] Tebow completed eight of 16 passes for 138 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown pass. He also rushed for 78 yards, 40 of which came on a touchdown run in the first quarter of the game. It was the longest touchdown run for a quarterback in Broncos history and the longest touchdown in NFL history for a quarterback in his first start.
  • Tebow’s first career victory came in his second start on December 26, 2010. The Broncos defeated the Houston Texans, 24-23, in Denver. Tebow helped rally the Broncos from a 17-0 deficit at halftime, as he finished the game with 308 passing yards and one touchdown pass. He also added a fourth quarter rushing touchdown, which capped the comeback.

It seems the guy is flying forward on Eagle’s wings!

I love the innovation and creativity of God’s people!

Dear Pastor,

We are a married couple new to Sweden and we worship at Newlife church every sunday.
The message delivered on 2nd January 2011 encouraged me to a new resolution this year to redeem the time wisely. May the Lord help me.

In Christ
