Kurt Warner Tells Tim Tebow To Stop Talking About Jesus
Bad advice
“And a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household.” Matthew 10:36
Talking about Jesus makes people nervous. It even makes other Christians nervous sometimes, too. Such is the case with ex-Cardinal QB Kurt Warner, who recently had some advice to give to up and coming Jesus-loving, Denver quarterback Tim Tebow. His advice to the mighty man of God? Stop talking about Jesus. Here is Warner’s exact quote:
“There’s almost a faith cliche, where (athletes) come out and say, ‘I want to thank my Lord and savior.’ As soon as you say that, the guard goes up, the walls go up, and I came to realize you have to be more strategic.
“You can’t help but cheer for a guy like that,” Warner said of Tebow. “But I’d tell him, ‘Put down the boldness in regards to the words, and keep living the way you’re living. Let your teammates do the talking for you. Let them cheer on your testimony.’
“I know what he’s going through, and I know what he wants to accomplish, but I don’t want anybody to become calloused toward Tim because they don’t understand him, or are not fully aware of who he is. And you’re starting to see that a little bit.” NBC Sports
Isn’t it funny that when you really, truly stand for Jesus, the people who attack you? My advice to you, Kurt, is to be quiet yourself and remember the beatdown that the Steelers gave you last time you met in the Super Bowl. And my advice to you, Tim Tebow, is to keep talking about Jesus EXACTLY the way you have been. Don’t change one, single thing. SHOUT IT FROM THE TOP OF THE ASTRODOME that Jesus is coming back soon!!
If ever in my life I have seen someone being used mightily of God for their public testimony, it’s you. And if 1,000 Kurt Warners all tell you to “stop talking about Jesus”, don’t you pay them any heed even for one moment. Mr. Tebow, you are God’s man in the right place at the right time doing the right things. You are truly a ‘man on a mission’, so KEEP IT UP, and may the Denver Miracle continue…
“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2

That’s right Tim…keep on keeping on with Jesus. Nothing else really matters. The time of the end is close. People had better start talking about Jesus because when He returns there’ll be nothing else TO talk about. We’re not supposed to put our light under a basket but let it shine for all to see. Tim apparently not only talks it he walks it too. Credit should begin with his parents..”Raise up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Tim Tebow is an example of what that verse means when it is applied. Keep up the faith Tim. You are an inspiration to the young kids. You are the parent to many of them showing and telling them about how to live right because there’s no one else there to tell them. You are only doing what God is telling you. Rock on brother !

Praise His name, day and night. Shout it from the mountain tops and declare that without Him, we are nothing. I’m surprised at Kurt. Nothing really matters in any sport but your safety and health. There is so much wickedness and blindness in any professional sport that at the name of James things light up quickly and fast. People don’t like that because they become exposed.
Tim, keep up the good work and stay focused in the Lord. He will reward you mightally.

I like the idea of Tim Tebow sharing is faith when it is appropriate and believe God wants Tim to endorse Love Sportswear. Sure Tim wants to talk about Christ and make HIm known… He knows Jesus is the only way… and the platform of a Christian sportswear company would be the perfect place for Tim and other Christians to display their faith and honor God.

We all could use some prayer! Be blessed and bless others!

Yes keep talking Tim, dont let anyone intimidate you, many want us to keep quiet and dont share the truth of the Gospel, it is sad to see people like Kurt that call themselves Christians and are ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
