Tim Tebow:
“If you’re married, and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife ‘I love her’ the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and every opportunity?” he said. “And that’s how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ, is that it is the most important thing in my life.
So any time I get an opportunity to tell him that I love him or given an opportunity to shout him out on national TV, I’m gonna take that opportunity. And so I look at it as a relationship that I have with him that I want to give him the honor and glory anytime I have the opportunity. And then right after I give him the honor and glory, I always try to give my teammates the honor and glory.
“And that’s how it works because Christ comes first in my life, and then my family, and then my teammates. I respect Jake’s opinion, and I really appreciate his compliment of calling me a winner. But I feel like anytime I get the opportunity to give the Lord some praise, he is due for it.”
The quarterback of Christian homeschooled background has drawn the curiosity of the world of sports not only for his extraordinary athletic ability, but for his routine signs of faith on and off the field: even his prayerful genuflections after successful plays have been coined “Tebowing.” The phenomenon became so well-known that a small wave of controversy hit the Internet after the Lions’ Stephen Tulloch appeared to mock-Tebow after his team soundly defeated the Broncos: but Tebow himself didn’t take offense.
Tebow has also used his fame to the benefit of the unborn: the Tebow family, most notably in a Superbowl ad by Focus on the Family last year, have candidly shared that they chose life for their son Timmy when doctors pressured his mother to abort due to medical complications.
