Quite an amazing event occurring in the US right now.

Tim Tebow plays American football. He’s recently achieved some stunning successes on the field.

Tebow is also deeply religious, and frequently gives thanks to the Lord for giving him the inspiration he needs to play so well.

None of this is that exceptional. There are a lot of sportsmen in all codes who have similar faith and spiritual comfort.

What is interesting is the sudden surge in interest in belief in God as a source of inspiration, an interest that has spread like wildfire across the USA, sparked by Tebow’s brilliant on field performances.

The inspirational aspect of this event has overflowed into many different areas of life and is even being becoming talked of as a factor in the US Presidential race and the Republican selection process. The text below comes from a Rush Limbaugh rant on Tebow-

They’re rare, but there are people like that; and Tebow is making a lot of people into believers in him, particularly his teammates. Now, you can’t bottle that kind of leadership. You can’t. Tebow could spend the rest of his life making speeches about it, and he couldn’t take somebody from scratch and turn them into him and that kind of thing. He’s a total package — you know, a product of who he is. But certainly there’s no substitute for confidence. And it’s like I said Friday on this program, and I do think this is a profundity, particularly in politics: Nobody ever won anything defending anything. I mean, you just don’t. I know you’re trying to think of examples where I’m wrong or that would contradict me. On balance, nobody wins anything when they’re defending it. The people that attack, the people that are on offense, they’re the ones who win — and that is an attitudinal thing, and it would certainly help if our people had that, but I fear we’re always defending.

Tebow is constantly under attack from his secular liberal critics. He’s beaten them simply by means of his belief in himself.
