Tiger Woods, Brit Hume and Jesus Christ

Those three names have been in the news quite a bit this week.  Brit Hume made a comment about Tiger Woods on Fox News by stating…

“Whether he can recover as a person depends on his faith. He’s said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So 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.’”

Of course, a media firestorm ensued and many negative comments have been flying ever since Brit Hume went on record by suggesting that Tiger Woods turn to the Christian faith.  But for the record, Brit Hume didn’t mention Jesus Christ, but rather just mentioned the Christian faith.  He stated that even mentioning the Christian faith was enough to bring about this strong response.  Listen to his explanation to Bill O’Reilly….

I admire Brit Hume, and I appreciate his openness to share his faith in Christ, and the transformation that comes from being born again.  He took a risk on national television, and put his own career on the line by stating that Jesus Christ saves and transforms lives.  Brit Hume may be a journalist, and I thank God that he is a believer, but whether any of us realizes it or not, Brit Hume is a missionary!  He shared the saving message of Christ within his workplace, and his workplace happened to feature a world-wide broadcast.  Many have been saying hurtful things to and about Hume for his comments.  But I thank God that he was willing to share, no matter the cost!

  1. Now some playmate is coming out with some really bad allegations that tiger may be bi-sexual. Perhaps Tiger didnt pay her enough “hush money”. I think its time to do Oprah, Mr Woods.
