“Some evangelicals ... he has also created a narrowness about what it means to be a Christian, especially among the younger generation.”

Tebow hasn’t created a narrowness - God created the Rules and Tim is just trying to follow them as a true believer. Any Evangelical who doesn’t get that should question where he/she gets her marching orders from.

Consider the source of criticism towards Tebow — all I see are spoiled brats who hate it that Tebow isn’t a hypocrite. Football is a means to an end, and that end is for advancing the Gospel. Go, TIMMY!

I agree. I was a little confused on the initial use of “narrowness”. If I read correctly, I thought it was saying it as a negative and meaning the word “narrowness” as simplicity.

Being a Christian isn’t some fun little game where you wear a WWJD bracelet and everything is good. It’s deeper than that. I was meaning to convey that I feel Tebow does promote that it is something that is deep and not just slogans and show.

I agree with everything you said. God created the rules. It’s us that makes the “narrow” road wider and that is unbiblical and dangerous.
