If I may, I’d like to toss my 2 cents into the pot regarding the sudden end of Sunday’s Steelers/Broncos game. As has been stated on these threads numerous times, I agree that God is not NECESSARILY in favor of any one particular team over another.
It gets even more questionable when you consider that Tebow makes it clear that he loves The Lord; and also consider the fact that at some point in the past, Big Ben had a testimony for the Lord, as well; probably in High School and maybe in college, too. All I know for sure is that an old former Pastor of mine, who was FROM western PA, loved Ben BECAUSE of his testimony as much as for his QB skills.....and was CRUSHED when Ben seemed to go haywire and was involved in possible rapes, an other very questionable off-the-field activities. But Big Ben at his worst, pales in comparison to King David, of Bible history, who still asked for, and was forgiven by, The Lord.
So my personal honest opinion would have to be, that in Sunday’s game, right up to the moment when Ben threw that final-seconds touchdown pass to end regulation play, as far as God was concerned, it was “may the best man win; they’re BOTH my boys, even though Benny needs to polish up his act a bit and get back on the Straight and Narrow.”
But when the official in the End Zone threw up his hands, declaring Ben’s pass a TOUCHDOWN; and when at THAT moment, Ben stuck HIS hands in the air and ran around mocking Tim Tebow, and thereby mocking God, in my opinion; the tide turned. God decided right then and there that his boy, Benjamin, needed a spanking.....which came very swiftly....in the form of the fasted, quickest, shortest SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME in NFL history.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!
I missed Big Ben’s mockery of Tebow.
God’s hand in yesterday’s game?
Yes, I believe it was.
The coincidences are too numerous to be coincidences.
Ben wasn’t mocking. He’s often done that. Tebow has no special rights on thanks to God.

Please tell me you’re kidding. Folks have been raising their arms to the skies for field goals and TDs for quite a long time.
I’m guessing you don’t watch a lot of football. If you did, you’d know that.
I find these things amazing. Jesus said not to be ashamed of Him, and He wouldn’t be ashamed of us. Tim has stood tall for the Lord and is being blessed. Yes, I do believe that God has a sense of humor. (Referencing all the 3:16s in this game) It’s like in your face - unbelievers!
A perfect post.
Couldn’t agree with you more.
I’ve never really understood those who mock Tebow.
Had a prayer circle going for Denver myself. :)
