I'm probably will alienate some people by my comments, but I feel pressed to state my viewpoint on wearing a bible verse on one's eyeblack. I'm not awed by the simple fact that he was wearing Phillipians 4:13 on his face. I believe that one's Christian behavior is better addressed by actions, and only if needed, expressed with words. I believe that Phillipians 4:13 is powerful--"I can do everything through him who gives me strength". Tim Tebow demonstrated that the verse is 100% accurate thru his natural God-given talent. Tim Tebow demonstrated his moral fiber at the conclusion of the game by separating his teammate from an Alabama defender. Tim Tebow also demonstrated that simply wearing a verse on your cheek doesn't make you a Christian on its own merit.
Actions speak louder than words. That being said, Tim did nothing wrong by wearing the verse on his eyeblack, and he did nothing to shame one from wearing the verse on their eyeblack.

I completely agree. The eye black Tim Tebow wore is more than just a glare reducer. He actually lives what believes.
I think it is fine. It's no different than Muslims and Jews wearing all that headgear and stuff, and his teammates painting themselves full of tatoos that give tribute to who-knows-what.
I am equally impressed that he is able to maintain his behavior while surrounded by people that are far from Christian on or off the field. He reminds me of Danny Wuerfell and Kurt Warner, but he is a better QB. I hear that both his parents are missionaries, and it shows.
At least he isn't giving gang symbols after he scores a TD and rapping to the camera after every score like he's never done it before. It's nice to see a kid that is doing well because he made the right choices. It is just a matter of time before the rest of the world tries to bring him down.
