He seems to be a good guy, but I wonder if Jesus would approve of his displays.
Matthew 6:5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

I suppose his actions could be his own form of Evangelicalism. We are called to Evangelize also. I believe that he only adopted this practice after the NFL forbade him from wearing his John 3:16 eye paint.

It makes me feel good when people make their remarks and ridicule someone of Faith.Why you ask? Because it just makes the words of Jesus ring True."For they hated me first,so they shall surly hate you also for my names sake"
Yep. Some people are so afraid of people of faith that they feel they need to make snide and hateful remarks about them.
Afraid of them? Why should anybody fear them? Would you fear people who worship Gandalf?
I understand when people say their god works in mysterious ways, but it seems very arrogant to me to claim a "supreme being" has time to watch and help Tebow win football games while all over the world people who worship him(as well as people who don't) are dying and suffering. That has to be some really "mysterious" priorities, especially when people say that ALL human life is sacred.

Yes,and just a little later He said:
John 16:33.........."These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
And Folks, Only Through Him(Jesus) Can We Overcome The World..
