The Real Quarterback Of The Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson #3

Common Sense Commentary: I have always liked the Green Bay Packers and usually pull for them unless they are playing the Cowboys or one of the other Southern, Pro Teams. The exception to that is, if I recognize a Real Christian on any of the teams, I pull for them. If one of the teams is angry or fouls a lot or starts fights ... I pull against them. I was actually pulling for the Packers when they played Seattle simply because Seattle is a strongly Liberal city and my pastor likes the Packers too. I know that is all trivial, but I have to find some reason to be for or against one of the two opposing teams. I seldom watch a game without drifting to one side or the other. I was for New England, against the Seahawks, in the  Super Bowl, because of their name ... Patriots, until I read about them cheating by lowering the air in the footballs, and then, this morning when I read the article below. I changed sides for the Super Bowl. As long as Russell Wilson, a black quarterback, is leading the Seattle Seahawks .... I am a Seahawks fan .... even if they are playing the Cowboys. That is, unless Jerry Jones or Romo suddenly start giving sincere witness of Christian faith. I know, I know, God doesn't care who wins a football game .... Or does He? I guess we will find out Feb.1 - RB


Russell Wilson Isn’t Keeping It a Secret, But Unless You Follow Him Online, You Might Have No Idea

Most know him as the star quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.

Others may know him as a man who volunteers much of his time at the children’s hospital, spending time cheering up kids battling cancer.

But, unless you follow 26-year-old Russell Wilson online, you may be unaware of exactly how much faith plays a role in his life.

Quarterback Russell Wilson #3 of the Seattle Seahawks celebrates after throwing the game winning touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse #15 in overtime to defeat the Green Bay Packers 28-22 during the 2015 NFC Championship game at CenturyLink Field on January 18, 2015 in Seattle, Washington.

Yes, like many others in the NFL, Wilson is known to say a prayer after each game — but his devotion to God extends far beyond that and spills into his public life.

The young quarterback, who will face off with the New England Patriots’ Tom Brady in this year’s Super Bowl, regularly talks openly about his faith online.

After tweeting about a recent visit to Seattle Children’s, Wilson said, “I believe that God has put me on this earth to serve others.”

For those that follow him on Twitter, it seems that every day the 26-year-old is posting about living for “His Glory.”

In his final tweet before Sunday’s NFC championship game, Wilson put his hope in Jesus.

“All my hope is in You Jesus!” he tweeted. “You are my anchor that is never shaken.”

The first tweet immediately after his miraculous win credited God.

“Glory to God!” he wrote.

The star quarterback followed up the next day, sending out a flurry of tweets about his faith.

“There is none like You! No one else can touch my heart like You do! I can search for all of eternity, but there is none like You!” he said in one of the many tweets.

Such tweets, are normal on Wilson’s account. The Washington State transplant chiefly tweets about his personal relationship with God, along with verses from the Bible.

In an interview with Pastor Mark Driscoll last year, Wilson expanded more on his faith, saying he was saved at the age of 14.

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Jesus,” he explained at the time. “Jesus is my all, he’s my everything.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Jesus.” Share: “I’m not perfect by any means. I try to do things the right way, I try to live righteous, but I am a constant work in progress. And we all are. Nobody is perfect,” Wilson continued. “And that’s the amazing thing about Jesus – he takes you for who you are. And so for me, it’s just giving him all the glory.”

Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks are set to square off with the New England Patriots in the 2015 Super Bowl on Feb. 1.
