TMZ: Colorado Pastor Says Broncos‘ Wins Are a Result of ’God‘s Favor’

Tebows Pastor Says Players Wins Are Gods Favor | Wayne Hanson

Tim Tebow’s pastor, Wayne Hanson, is joining the chorus of religious leaders who are speaking out in support of the Denver Broncos quarterback. Hanson’s statements, while certainly favorable to the 24-year-old football player, have been criticized by some.

In an interview with TMZ, Hanson claimed that the team’s wins since putting Tebow in as quarterback are “not luck.” ”Luck isn’t winning six games in a row. It’s favor. God’s favor,” Hanson said. “God has blessed his hard work.”

These comments, of course, will likely cause some who don’t embrace the Christian faith to scowl. Others — even believers — may be a bit careful regarding how much credence they place in such an assertion.

Regardless, Hanson, who is in charge of the Summit Church near Denver, Colorado, says that the Bronco’s wouldn’t be experiencing the wins if God wasn’t rewarding Tebow for his faith.

Tebows Pastor Says Players Wins Are Gods Favor | Wayne Hanson

Pastor Wayne Hanson

Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports claims that these comments aren’t helpful to Tebow and that the football player has actually avoided making similar statements himself. Wetzel writes:

Comments like these aren’t helping Tim Tebow. And they aren’t helping gain acceptance for the faith Tebow is willing to serve as public representative.

If anything, this is a moment when the pastor ought to take a lesson from his follower, who has consistently rejected such proclamations.

Tebow’s commitment to Evangelical Christianity is well known and his displays of that faith are often public. However, he’s never said God is deciding who wins football games, other than when joking about an opponent’s miscue.

While some, like Wetzel, may stand opposed to Hanson’s assertions, Tebow’s leadership on the field is uncommon. The more he is poked and teased for his public displays of faith, the better he seems to perform. Daily Mail highlights the unprecedented nature of Tebow’s recent streak:

Six of Tebow’s seven victories have involved second-half comebacks, five of them necessitating fourth-quarter rallies, three of which went to overtime.

No other quarterback in NFL history has produced six fourth-quarter comebacks in his first 11 NFL starts.

Broncos coach John Fox said Tebow has ‘competitive greatness. He wants the ball in clutch time.’

Many believers contend that God intervenes to assist in any and all matters of life. In fact, this principle is Biblical. Thus, from a faith perspective, it’s certainly possible that Tebow and his team would be receiving some help from above. This very topic was discussed on Glenn Beck’s radio show on Monday.

“I find it remarkable. I find him a very brave man,” Beck said, speaking openly about Tebow. Hear Beck, Stu Burguiere and Pat Gray discuss (in a clip we first posted yesterday) God and his potential role in the Bronco’s recent winning streak, below (as well as the counterargument that there are plenty of Christian fans on the teams Tebow plays):

Editor’s Note: Pastor Wayne Hanson has now publicly claimed that his comments were distorted by TMZ. The Blaze is currently working on a report to provide more information about this developing story.

      I think God rewards the prayers of faithful people, no matter what they are doing. But I don’t think God cares who wins football games. And, who‘s to say there aren’t faithful people on the opposing team, praying just as hard, but just doing it in private.

      The whole thing is ridiculous and his pastor needs to keep his mouth shut as he will bring the wrath of the press down on this player…He’s a christian, he’s happy with that fact…leave him alone.

      God is actively involved everywhere. He didn’t just make the universe and then send it on its merry way. God is actively involved in everyone’s lives. Tim Tebow is a man who displays his faith in Jesus Christ no matter what, not shying away from the harsh and unjustified criticism people keep giving him. Because Tebow stands by his Lord every time he’s in front of a camera, God is rewarding Him for it. God does it for His glory, not for Tebow or the Broncos, but for His glory for the world to see. God is blessing Tebow and using him to display His glory to show people that He does exist, that He does care, and that He does love them.

    Here’s my take. God will bless Tebow, possibly through wins for the Broncos. Not for the Broncos, because it benefits Tebow.

    Now, just in the way that Matt from Survivor – Redemption Island survived constant crazy challenges through almost the whole show, constantly praising Jesus, then lost and didn’t win the million $$… Tebow and the Broncos will never get to the Super Bowl, because his purpose isn’t to make his followers rich or famous or successful although sometimes this happens. God’s purpose is to expand His Kingdom and bring attention to Himself through guys like Tebow who happens to play for the Broncos.

    It is a HUGE deal though, to consider the extent to which God “controls” things and how much is just free will. And I don‘t think we’ll have a decisive provable answer anytime soon.

Jesus died for our sins non-belief is a sin but a forgivable thanks to him. Think of it like this the old testament were the testaments of damnation,the news testaments were the testaments of redemption. God left little room in the orginal bible for those who sinned Jesus gave us a chance to redeem ourselves. You every wonder why God let his only son suffer so much…Because if he did that AND HIS SON COULD STILL FORGAVE US THAN SURELY HE COULD AS WELL. EVEN THE OMNIPOTENT(GOD)COULD LEARN FROM HIS SON.

      You know most people do not understand the true power of God. First, he gives people the freedom of choice. So if they choose to make bad decisisions that is on them. Evil has entered the world due to mans choice as soon as Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge and good and evil. Secondly, God is omnipresent(Psalm138:7-12), omnipotent(Genesis 18:14), and omniscient(Psalm 139:2-6). The comments above show God with human limits, but that is not true. He truly cares about the 4 year old winning a game or the CEO of a company being successful. He also recognizes peoples troubles as well and hears their pain. God allows us to make decisions and based upon our decisions and his will he allows certain things to happen. It is easy to blame God, but evil is really a result of what happened thousands of years ago when Adam and Eve ate from the tree. God gave us a choice to live how we wanted and we messed up from the beginning.

    I do not believe that God prefers Tebow and the Broncos over solid Christian players on other teams, allowing the Broncos to win seven in a row. What will the pastor say when Denver loses a game or two? God found another Christian football play who he liked better then Tebow, or will it be that God just didn’t like the spread?

    In this day and age, when more and more people are ridiculing Christians, the pastor ought to stick to protecting and strengthening our religion.

      Why not? Tell. If it‘s not by God’s choice. Then tell. We are waiting.

    I doubt that the Bronco’s win-loss record is part of God’s plan, but the people brought to God through this publicity or through the example set by this wonderful young man certainly can be part of God’s plan

      Job won in the end, he was restored everything he lost and double! that’s the Gospel message, yes it’s not always smooth sailing until we meet Jesus in Heaven!

      Yes, I know tthe story as well but, if you’re going to argue that all righteous men are rewarded in this life, you are living in fantasy land. The reward for a righteous man is in the next life. Look at the story of Father Damien, spent his life ministering to lepors and then died of leprosy. Hardly a reward in this life.

    So does that mean that God hates the Chicago Bears?

      Of course He does, they are being punished for being from the town that brought us Obama.

      No it means God would be pleased if the Chicago bears came to grip with the truth and gave him honor like Tebow, he would forgive their sin individually! People don’t get caught up in proving whether God is in control or not by whether the Broncos win their game. God is control regardless, yes even the Chicago Bears!

      Agreed but, if the pastor is going to say stuff like this, he will have to have an explanation for the Broncos not winning the Super Bowl. If they did, it would be a miracle and hard to deny divine intervention.

      Maybe, but he;s a right harsh god. Tim should replace John 3:16 with Mark 17:10.

    God may decide to allow the Broncos to win the rest of their games or they may lose the rest or a combination in between, nevertheless He is still God and still on the throne!

    GOD IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING. Sometimes God allows things we can’t understand, God even allows evil sometimes, we don’t have enough intelligence to figure God out. We get a glimpse of His glory and majesty through His Word and His Holy Spirit should it reside in us!

      Gary,

      Actually, according to the Holy Scriptures, Jehovah is God Almighty.
      Jesus is His Son, the anointed Christ (Messiah).

      The trinity doctrine is not scriptural.

      WISEPENNY,

      As you wish it to be, so it will be for you.
      I do not want to argue with you. My statement was accurate but if you do not agree, then let there be peace between us.

    I’d hate to break it to ya pastor, but God could care less about sports. Almost all of Detroit’s victories were second half comebacks, and they’re considered the bad boys of the league. It’s called luck.

      Luck is akin to fate, no such thing, God controls all, he does give men a choice to believe the truth or a lie. God doesn’t force himself on anyone He calls and we must respond if we want eternal life!

      you hit the nail right on the head with this one. The pastors comments were way out of line and do more damage than good no matter how you look at it. good post.
