The secular left -- and some self-described Christians -- criticize Brit Hume,
the Fox News commentator, for suggesting that the solution to Tiger Woods'
problems is a relationship with Jesus Christ. Hume made his remarks on "Fox News
Sunday." Disclosure: I also appear on Fox News.
Hume said, "My message to Tiger would be: Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and
you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."
That is a message shared for 2,000 years by those who follow Jesus of Nazareth.
It apparently continues to escape the secular left that Christians feel
compelled to share their faith out of gratitude for what Jesus has done for them
(dying in their place on a cross and offering a new life to those who repent and
receive Him as savior). In a day when some extremists employ violence to advance
their religion, it is curious that many would save their criticism for a truly
peace-bringing message such as the one broadcast by Brit Hume.
(The above is part of a column written by
Cal Thomas. Read more of what Cal wrote below.)
Christians like Hume are not trying to impose anything on anyone. They know
the difference Jesus has made in their lives and they care enough about others
to want to share His message in the hope that other lives will be similarly
transformed.
When he was president, Jimmy Carter shared his faith with South Korean
President Park Chung Hee as the two rode in a limousine on the way to the
airport. The New York Times ludicrously editorialized about a possible violation
of church-state separation.
( It is sad and strange that you can use God's name as a curse word and it is cool and no one on the left gets upset but if you express faith in Jesus in public way or speak kindly of God you will get in trouble like Brit did. Those of us who are followers of Jesus need to speak God's word to others even if we have to suffer. Lets follow Brit's example. Lets also pray that Tiger will put his faith in the Lord Jesus.

About That Name.)
