6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
In addition, Christians also have a duty to publicly witness to their faith: "So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven" (Mt 10:32).
There's a time for quiet prayer by our-self, and a time to pray with boldness in public for our Savior and Father to do mighty things, and/or simply thank Him.
Tebow is quite a good example as a brother in Christ for me and my way of thinking. But, he is just a man, and any thing could happen to him, that's for sure. We have a plethora of examples in the Holy Writ: David, Lot, Peter, Judah, etc.
Tim has been a good witness, and his light shines, and sinners should hate it. Bill Bennett is a devout Catholic, and maybe a born again Christian, I think. So his article is good to read.
Jake Plummer was speaking like I would have when I was in the dark. He didn't mock Jesus Christ really, but simply says do that kind of stuff somewhere else, go get in your closet, so to say.
I would love for the Broncos to make it here in Baltimore to play our Ravens. That would be great.

Perhaps. But Tebow isn't the one who's turned this into a huge public spectacle. Rather, his critics have chosen to shine the spotlight on his action.
