Tim Tebow is a godly man and a good football player. There is no question about his character, the importance of his faith, and his development as a player in the NFL. 

 

But the young Denver Broncos quarterback has become a controversial figure because of the very public displays of his faith. For example, he has been recently mocked for his bended-knee prayers during games, which is now officially known as "Tebowing." But has he inadvertently brought this criticism on himself? Is praying publicly between plays what it really means to "be a Christian" in pro football?
Jesus said to his disciples, "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16). One has to wonder if Tebow's actions are a shrewd way to be a Christian in sports.
In a discussion about this on my Facebook wall someone asked, "How many Christians have you seen get down on one knee and pray at work? If he really wanted to live out his faith, he'd do his job well and love those he works with." Is there a difference, then, between living one's faith and acting it out in public? How many surgeons who are Christians get on their knees and pray in the operating room? How many Christians who are public school teachers get on their knees and pray at the beginning of each class? Or a mechanic? Or a bus driver? Is what Tim Tebow is doing even necessary?
