One Day, People Are Going To Forget About The ...
Contributed by Charles Wallis on Jan 7, 2009 (message contributor)
“One day, people are going to forget about the Heisman Trophy, the jump pass and the national championship. One day, this [championship] ring is going to rust. There are only four things that are going to last forever: God, his word, people and rewards.”
"Because I’m so passionate about it, and because I learned that gift so early, I don’t want to go to heaven and hear Jesus tell me, ’Tim, why didn’t you tell someone else about it?’
Tim Tebow, the Heisman Trophy winner from Florida, spends his spare time going to the Philippines to help his father with missions work and to prisons to preach to the inmates.
