Last night, in the Sugar Bowl, Florida Gator Tim Tebow ended his career, arguably, the greatest college quarterback of all time. There are many that question whether he will be successful in professional football but it is hard to question his dedication to his faith.
If you are not aware of this young man you may want to read up about him. If you want your children to look up to a person in sports as an idol, this is your guy
Anyway, on game days Tim always wears eye-black with scripture on it. Last night he had EPH on his right eye-black and 2: 8-10 on his left....in the Bible this is Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 through 10 which reads...
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Earlier in the morning I read an article, in the Faith and Values section of our local newspaper, on people openly displaying their faith. There were several interesting points on both sides of the coin that people made.
Personally, I have very little problem with it, as long as one is being respectable it doesn't bother me people trying to share the faith of their choice with me...in whatever way they choose.
How do you feel about public display of ones faith?
