Let's make sure we love him Monday morning...

I am a Tim Tebow fan. I was a fan long before the Focus on the Family ad became such a controversial issue. I believe he is a young man, whose parent's caught a vision to raise him "in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." And Tim Tebow is doing that.

But let's think for a moment how much pressure we are putting on this guy.

Not just for this Sunday, but everyday.

He has been declared one of the best college football players ever. The youngest to win the Heisman trophy. He's played for the Florida Gators in two National Championships.

Sports commentators make fun of the milk and cookies he has before bed on Saturday nights after the game, rather than partying with his team.

He has stood up to media fire storms that find amusement with the status of his virginity.

Homeschoolers hail as their example of how well homeschooled kids really are socialized and can be salt and light to the world. He has been the inspiration for education reform in many states.

Who knows how many young people have gone on Summer mission's trips because of his example of helping the poor and needy.

Fathers want their sons to grow up to be like him. Mothers want their daughters to marry him.

And now we are putting even more pressure on him. Pressure on a young man who has yet to start a professional career or cash a paycheck.

It seems we are asking him to take the biggest, most public stand against abortion this nation has seen. What started out as a young man, making a simple stand for something he believes in has become national controversy -- one that is roused anger and entitlement on both sides.

And what happens if his stand is not as strong as we have all hyped it up to be?

My concern is that we might be disappointed come Monday morning. With all the hoopla and controversy surrounding an ad that none of us have seen, not just the liberals, I fear that it will not live up to the expectations we've created it to be in our heads.

What if it doesn't come right out and call abortion an atrocity against humankind and is only vaguely pro-life? Will we criticize him for not saying something stronger? Will we say he should have put his "platform" to better use?

What if the ad is more about the agency paying for it, Focus on the Family (we've kind of forgotten about them)? Will we accuse Tebow of doing the ad to boost his popularity before the NFL combine and draft?

I don't know anymore than the next person, whether it be a pro-life conservative or liberal, feminist group, what the ad will portray. It might be the strongest pro-life advertisement our nation has seen and women across the country may choose to not murder their unborn child as a result of it. It might be something that simply points viewers to call Focus on the Family for help if their family is falling apart. All I know is that we are asking this young guy to do a lot.

So let's make sure we are still standing by him on Monday morning, regardless of what we see Sunday night.
