Tebowing — Righteous prayer or holy mockery?

Tebowing — Righteous prayer or holy mockery? October 30, 2011

What an amazing national phenomena is Tim Tebow. The young, outspoken quarterback for the Denver Broncos is quieting his critics with solid play, humility and good nature.


Something he does before and after each game, is to drop to single knee and pray. He doesn’t do it to gain attention, or to impress anyone. He does it just to acknowledge Who he plays for. 

And now, people all across the world are emulating him with a movement called, Tebowing.
It’s loosely defined as dropping to one knee, praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.

Earlier this week, a website was launched, www.Tebowing.com, displaying photos of indicviduals who choose to do the same.

Let us Pray…I take a knee at Target
Here’s mine. I called it, “Let us Pray”.



This isn’t all serious. It’s a fad and some are doing it just to mock faith.  Others are doing it just for the attention.

I’m sure some will be upset that prayer isn’t given the due it deserves. Some call it insulting.

But then, it’s eternally serious. Like it or not, everyone will one day drop a knee and pray.

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

One day Buddah, Mohammed, Ghandi, Steve Jobs, every ruler, every peasant and those in between will drop a knee and acknowledge the Lord of Lords.

Do it now, or do it later.
