The Chosen people have found their quarterback.
If God wanted to communicate with His people, football may be the best way to do it. With the Superbowl garnering comparable attention to Christmas, and the recession in full swing, a different day may capitulate the first-born savior's monopoly on the most important day of the year.
It is true, Tebow may very well be the second coming of Christ. Have you seen this man chuck a football? Its like he looks out over his eye black and into the Hall of Fame heaven, and he has just begun. Hopefully, unlike his predecessor, he will not be struck down in the prime of his career.
This last weekend, during Tebow’s monumental and historic game where he threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to beat the Steelers, you were actually able to see the hand of God break through the clouds and pat him on the ass. His eye black that day said Phil 4:6-7.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (The verse seen on Tebow’s eye black)
And he obviously wasn’t anxious, waiting until the overtime to throw the ball and win the game. This need for adrenaline seems to be something God and Tebow have in common, while they could save the world/game early on, they prefer to work in more mysterious ways in order to build suspense.
What is even crazier is the Dan Brown type connection Tebow seemed to have with the number 316 that day. He passed for 316 yards with 31.6 yards as his average completion. This, to me, seems as though God is overwhelmingly telling his chosen people, Americans, to watch for Tebow as the second coming.
This lead to a flood of popularity never before seen by the King of Kings as John 3:16 became the most popular item searched on Google, God's window to the world. With both of His sons trending, it is likely that God feels more on top of the world than ever.

So, sorry starving children, foreclosed families and failing schools, God and his outspoken Evangelical BFF Superstar Tebow are busy tossing a pigskin around God's new house, The Denver Stadium.
Maybe in 9 years, when Tebow comes of age, he will save you. Until then, it is only games will be saved.
