SUPER BOWL OF FAITH


I have shared in a past post about the Arizona Cardinals Kurt Warner and his faith in Jesus Christ - which makes him the man he is. Now here is testimony from the the other team in the Super Bowl.
Although he's one of the top stars on the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, safety Troy Polamalu also voiced his faith during the Jan. 27 media day prior to the Super Bowl.
If the Steelers defeat the Arizona Cardinals, strong safety Troy Polamalu will have a stake in that achievement, yet he has a perspective that transcends any title game.
While he may be known as a silent killer for his soft voice and hard hits on Pittsburgh's top-rated defense, there was nothing quiet about Polamalu's witness for Jesus Christ during the annual media day prior to the Super Bowl.
"I feel like faith is the foundation of everything I do on the field and off," said Polamalu, a former USC star now in his sixth year in the NFL.
"It determines how you live your life when you love God."
What a testimony these men bring before the world for Jesus Christ. I only hope that people, especially young men, will see these players not only as their football hero's; but see that their faith makes them the real men they are.
