Brit Hume speaks the truth as he gives Tiger Woods incredibly positive advice--and is excoriated for it!

Brit Hume On Fox News on Sunday

Brit Hume reminded Tiger that his Buddhist friends won't forgive him, but Jesus Christ will--in an instant.

Of course Fox News and Brit Hume have both been slammed hard for using the "J" word on public television--accusing them/him of proselytizing for Christianity. I thought Brit's response to Bill O'Reilly (on his "Factor" last evening) as regards that accusation was so powerful that it is worth quoting. When Bill O'Reilly asked him whether he thought he had crossed the line, Brit replied:

I don't think so. I mean, look, Tiger Woods is somebody I've always rooted for as a golfer and as a man. I greatly admired him over the years, and I always have said to people it was the content of his character that made him, beyond his extraordinary golf skills, so admirable.

Now we know that the content of his character was not what we thought it was. He is paying a frightful price for these revelations. I – my sense is that he has basically lost his family, and there's a lot of talk about the endorsements he's lost. But that pales, I suspect, in his mind, with what he's lost otherwise.

And my sense about Tiger is that he needs something that Christianity, especially provides and gives and offers. And that is redemption and forgiveness.

And I was – I was really meaning to say in those comments yesterday more about Christianity than I was about anything else. I mentioned the Buddhism only because his mother is a Buddhist and he has apparently said that he is a Buddhist. I'm not sure how seriously he practices that.

But I think ... I think that ... Jesus Christ offers Tiger Woods something that Tiger Woods badly needs.

He continued with ...

It has always been a puzzling thing to me. The Bible even speaks of it, that, you know, you speak the name, "Jesus Christ," and I don't – and I don't mean to make a pun here, but all hell breaks loose. And – and it has always been thus. It is explosive.

Well, let me be as courageous as Brit was. Tiger Woods: Listen to Brit's good (eternity saving) recommendation. Ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness and repent of the sad compulsions of your past few years.

Take it from someone who's been there! Your life--and maybe even your marriage--will explode in beauty and the Light of God at your acceptance of Jesus Christ of Nazereth as your Savior. And while you're at it, replace the picture below in Vanity Fair with something along the lines of my previous posting.
