Very few athletes have been making as huge headlines recently than football’s Tim Tebow and baseball’s Albert Pujols. Both men have been known to wear their ‘testimony’ on their sleeves.
Love ’em or not, both men have people talking not just about their public professions of Faith in Jesus Christ. However, by doing so, they have invited more scrutiny on their individual lives to see if their talk matches their walk!
The latest example is current Chicago Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd. After claiming Christ, the Bible and a picture perfect family life, the Feds just arrested him last week, for running a Cocaine/Marijuana ring worth millions of dollars! When he was arrested last Friday and charged, the news media led with the fact that he was a man who quoted the Bible and spoke to others in need.This is actually not a bad thing, as many a so-called “Christian Athlete” has fallen hard on their face, making all their talk about “Jesus is my Savior” a laughing stock to a cynical word. Christian ministries are actually partially to blame for this, because they fall all over themselves, to hire this or that newly minted celebrity athlete, who happens to say that he believes in the bible or is a “christian”! I have yet to hear of some poor soul say that he/she got saved because Kurt Warner or Deion Sanders spoke at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet!
Both Pujols and Tebow do not fall into this category because neither have committed any type of crime. However both men have to guard their conduct – personal and professional, because the reputation of Christ rests on it.

Consider this: You are the last person rescued from a collapsed building after you have been trapped for 27 hours, under concrete and steel under a stairwell. Then a hand reaches out and holds you for several minutes until three men show up to pull you out. This hand belongs to a man who was never at the scene of the rescue or a member of any staff!
Genelle Guzman-Mcmillan was coming down the stairs from the 64th floor of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 when the building collapsed around the 13th floor and 90 floors of concrete and steel fell on her, trapping her under that stairwell. Miraculously she was still breathing.
For 27 hours, no one knew she was there. Raised in a large family which went to mass on Sunday, yet a child of the clubs and party scene, she had put God on the top shelf – out of reach. Yet now, facing eternal loss and despair, Genelle knew enough of Where God was and His Power to save, to cry out to Him!
Rendered immobile and in unbelievable pain, Genelle prayed the following in order:
Lord, let my body be found
Lord, HELP ME
Lord, send me a Miracle
Lord, if you save me, I will get baptized and marry my boyfriend (with whom she was living in sin)!
At 12:30pm or so, on September 12, 2001, 27 hours after one of the Twin Towers of the World Trade center collapsed, Genelle felt this warm Hand grab her through the rubble and say “Genelle, I won’t leave you“!!!!
Then the Voice told her to hold, because she will be alright as the rescuers were almost there to get her out! Not just that, but as the Hand held her, all the fear and pain from her body was gone…as she lay trapped under the dust, steel and concrete. The Voice said his name was Paul!
Minutes later, two New York firefighters with Canadian canine rescue specialist removed Genelle and rushed her to
