And if an opposing team member also prayed for a win what is he to say, something like”Oh so Jesus, you like Tebow more than me? See if I ever ask for your help again”!
And you know Tim asked Jesus for the win how? ... Is it possible Tim asked —like the association for Christian Atheletes is known to do— that the game be well played, injury free, and uplifting for both participants and fans? I’m wondering why you jump to such a negative position regarding prayer by Christian atheletes.
Only if he is a fool. Thanking God for a win only acknowledges that the win falls within His plan. The opposition player who prayed but lost just as likely to have thanked God for the opportunity to play a kids game for a lot of money, and that he was not hurt in the contest. Have you ever been to an NFL game? Have you ever seen players from both teams praying together during warmups, postgame or especially when a player from either team is severely injured on the field? The acknowledgement of a soveriegn God in everyday life goes way beyond wins and losses. You should try it some time.
