25 Inspirational Tim Tebow Bible Verses

25 Inspirational Tim Tebow Bible Verses

Tim Tebow proved he was a true evangelist during his college football career when he seized the opportunity to quote scripture in the eye black he was wearing for the game.  His parents call him their "miracle baby" as you may know from the infamous "super bowl commercial" which was in regards to Tim's Mother contemplating abortion and ultimately deciding against it.  His Father remembers praying to God asking "Lord if you want another preacher in this world, give him to me and I'll raise him."  When Tim played for Urban Meyer and the Gators he influenced millions of people with his "eye black bible verses" and he also made covers of magazines and was featured in t.v. shows.  After wearing a verse for the BCS National Championship game, the very next day that verse was searched 94 million times on the internet.  By the end of Tim's college career a new rule had been put in place which became known on the street as the "Tebow" rule, which would prohibit any logos, text, or verses being put in the eye black or on the face.

Christian A Cappella Songs: Top 10 List

Christian A Cappella Songs: Top 10 List

There is something wonderful about a Christian a cappella song. That term “a cappella” has its root in Italian and it literally means “in the manner of the chapel” because in years past church music was sung without instrumental accompaniment. Although it began in the church, it became popular once again in the 1950’s and 1960’s as street singers stood on the corner singing their a cappella tunes. It is a style, even today, that includes voices that even mimic drums, bass and other instruments. I especially love to hear the great songs of faith sung in parts, a cappella. Here are my top 10 picks for Christian A Cappella Songs.

Duck Dynasty On A&E Is Safe For Christians

Duck Dynasty On A&E Is Safe For Christians

These days it is not difficult to find garbage on the television.  It seems that any time of day one can find a plethora of immorality glorified in living color.  This is sordid proof that where there is a demand, there will be someone to meet that demand.  Judging by what is on television these days, there must be a great demand for explicit immorality; not to mention the overload of science(?) programming pushing the humanistic theory of evolution.  One could assess, from the current pop television lineup, that there is no longer any place for God in our society, at least when it comes to entertaining television.
