Tim Tebow and the million dollar sex hit

4/26/2012

As a Christian man and father, I can't be happier for Tebow's stand as a Christian athlete. His stand for integrity and virtue is absolutely remarkable and laudable.

However, today, I'm disgusted about Tim Tebow. I'm not disgusted with him, I'm proud of him and his example as a man, a real man. I'm disgusted that a $1,000,000 hit has been placed on his head. A website that encourages affairs and lascivious living has stated that $1,000,000 will be awarded to anyone who can come up with real evidence that Tebow is not a virgin.

Wow. That's just flabbergasting. I'm flummoxed. I'm fuming. Tebow needs our prayers for his protection. We have a man who is trying to turn the tide in the professional athlete arena and make being a real man respectable. Tebow has not been shy about being a Christian and being a virgin. He is a real man. A real man is faithful in all areas of his life, especially his sex life. Before you read further, stop. Say a prayer for Tebow as he brings his Christian witness to a society who believes that all Christians are hypocrites.

This lewd website has placed Christian virtue on the chopping block. Tebow has stuck his neck out for God and what can we do to help him? I've talked to some men about this and I have been surprised at some of the answers I have received. "Wow! I would love to be Tebow and have women chasing me!" or "I don't know how Tebow will be able to resist. He's gonna give in some day." Before you get too upset at the quotes from these two men about Tebow, I want to warn you, these quotes came from Christian men...

Is that what we Christian men expect nowadays? We can't resist temptation? All men are weak and eventually give in to lust, greed, etc.? A man is no match for a woman who wants to have sex with him?

Come on, I've heard enough of this. Men, stand up. Be men. Be counted worthy of bearing the name Christian. If you really think that you and all men will eventually give in to sin, just stop now. Stop calling yourself a Christian. Stop embarrassing the name of Christ.

If you want to make a difference, be a real man like Tebow.
Repent of the attitude that sin is stronger than Christ.
God's Word tells us that we are no longer slaves to sin but are now slaves to righteousness.

Pray for Tebow.

BE HOLY.
BE A MAN.

Amen. Funny-- but a pure man is what women want anyway. Real women, anyway. :)

Thanks for your comments Kris. REAL women want men of purity and holiness. If a man would die for his LORD, he would die for his wife and kids. That kind of man is very desirable...

I'm glad that your marriage exemplifies purity and holiness. I'm super glad that your marriage is demonstrating that to those wonderful kids that you and Barry are raising. You know, those kids of yours... they could literally change the world :-)

What a disgusting group. I suppose I won't ever understand a society that mocks chastity and virtue.

Bossmanham - Thanks for reading my blog and commenting. Feel free to do so anytime.

Isaiah 5:20 is pretty relevant here, "Woe to those who call evil good..."

How very very sad.. I've heard girls say they didn't think there were any good men out there. They DO have something to aspire to.. pleasing themselves and their ego.. by pleasing God first.. "and all these things shall be added..."..GOOD THINGS !!
We do have to look for the good in the right places ,, tho.!!

BJW - Thanks for writing. Pleasing God first is the objective. He promises fulfillment if we do so.

Also, like you said, looking in right places is also important. You may be able to find a good man in a bar or singles club but your odds are greatly reduced such environments.

Thanks for dropping by. I always appreciate your comments, mom.

I just read this statement: "Imagine the outrage if the situation were reversed and someone were offering $1M to the first guy who could deflower some famous Christian female..."

I agree it is definitely two-faced.

Even if he did have sex by now it doesn't mean he isn't a christian. If anything non believers put pressure on us to be perfect. That's why Jesus died for us, to save us from our sins. Not that we are free to sin, we are convicted, and we do change, but it doesn't mean we don't screw up. If he isn't a virgin I hope he feels comfortable to tell the truth but if he is, than I hope he justs continues with it. Being a virgin at his age is God, you have to know that because what man can resist women like he can. Maybe that's why you can't believe people can't change, cause you haven't yet. I pray for you to really meet Jesus and I pray that you are able to be honest with yourself and God about who you really are. I pray one day you will be ok with yourself. I pray for change in your life. I was basically a prostitute and two years ago I met God and I am content being happy and single to this day. That is change but I am not perfect at all, I have plenty of thorns in my side.

Tabitha - I'm so grateful that you took the time to read my blog and am even more grateful that you took the time to respond.

I'm a bit confused by what you write here so I'll address what I think you're talking about. If I'm mixed up, please let me know.

Virginity does not nor does it make one a Christian. The main point of this article is that the world seems to believe that all Christians are hypocrites, that their lives don't match what they believe.

If Tebow would allow us to interview him, I'm confident that he would say that he is far from perfect and that there are other areas of his life where he falls short of God's standard.

Fortunately, he has been pushed into the public arena and God has given him the opportunity to speak for Him as best he can. He deserves our support and we need to pray for him that he can continue to be a faithful representative of a man who is seeking to live a godly life.

Now, I get to the confusing part of your reply. "...what man can resist women like he can."

I believe that God's indwelling Holy Spirit is stronger than anyone's attempt to seduce another to have sex. Hence, the ability to "resist women" comes not from human strength and resolve but thru God's empowerment. Tebow does not appear to be relying upon his human strength.

Then you state,"..;Maybe that's why you can't believe people can't change, cause you haven't yet. I pray for you to really meet Jesus and I pray that you are able to be honest with yourself and God about who you really are. I pray one day you will be ok with yourself."

I assume you are talking about "you" in the generic sense and that you are not talking about me personally because you don't know me. Hence, in the light of my assumption, I agree. I agree with you that people have a hard time believing that people can change and that people have difficulty being honest with themselves and being OK with themselves.

Then you state, "I pray for change in your life." Thank you. I can use all the prayers I can get. I don't want to remain the same I am. I want God to change me, to continually mold me into the image of His Son, Jesus.

Finally, Tabitha, you bring it home. You stated that you used to be a prostitute and two years ago you met God. That is absolutely terrific that you have changed. I'm pleased that you are becoming more of what God wants you to be. Like you, I'm not perfect at all and have plenty of thorns in my side.

Let me ask you, Tabitha. Are you being discipled? Do you have opportunity to meet regularly with another woman to review what God has for your life? If not, I encourage you to go to http://www.disciplers.org and download that material and study God's Word with a trusted friend.
