with Dabo's GOD & NIL statement, is it possible that GOD

has blessed or rewarded Coach already here on Earth what with record "6-straight" CFP games, 4 Natty trips & 2 Natty wins out of 4 (GOD has to be neutral or even-handed you know).
The Bible teaches that marvelous things can happen IF you believe and pray.
Saying, did Clemson Football benefit unknowingly but directly thru a Christian Football Coach?
MERRY CHRISTmas to ALL TiGERS..believers, doubters & unbelievers!

I don't believe God cares who wins football games

they matter nothing in His economy. He will bless us, but His blessings also include hard times to match them. He's promised us suffering, persecution and hatred of the world. Dabo has experienced both sides of things.
What Dabo does more than any coach is use the platform God has given Him to glorify God, and point people to Him. He is bold and unashamed. He will receive rewards in heaven for his faithfulness. Is he receiving blessings here as coach? Anything is possible and only God knows, but if he has, it's to open doors to declare Jesus. Dabo does that

This is an interesting point… if God is totally sovereign over all things, and all things are done to bring Himself the most glory, does that not play a factor into outcomes of things even as minuscule as they may seem to us? Something to ponder.

Just because God is sovereign over all things

does not mean He exercises rigid, determinant control over all things. There is theological disagreement along these lines, and I land on the side of we're not scripted. People have free will. If God chooses to intervene in human affairs, and He has before, He has that right being sovereign over all. It does not mean He does so in every detail of our lives

I think maybe another thing to consider is that God gives us all unique talents and abilities and we are supposed to use them to bring honor and glory to Him and to realize the plan and purpose He has for our lives. He also instructs us to work hard as if we are working directly for Him. Not everyone takes the talents they have been given and puts them to good use. They let them waste away until they become unfulfilled potential.
Dabo has done well to take what he has been given and worked hard to make the most of it, and I believe God does bless us when we are obedient to His calling.

God did not do that. But I thank God for every thing O have !
Sin causes the things you mentioned!
The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life!
The life to come after this one is the one you should worry about.

I’ll send you a postcard. Sorry if it is a bit singed.
If he could stop it, he should. He doesn’t. Not a very powerful god. Is he?

Maybe you should take time to learn why there is suffering and God lets it happen. Briefly, there are two reasons. The first goes back to Adam when he sinned (the original sin) and mankind lost its innocence and is born into sin.
Secondly, God has let mankind make their own way. Through the process, mankind has done things to cause hunger, cancer, and everything you have listed as negatives on this planet. Go back to the original sin. None of this existed before then.
However, he gave you, me and all of us an out. He sent his son (Jesus) to die and accept all sin for us. It want stop all the things sin and the atrocities mankind will continue to do, but it will give the believers eternal life.

How come GOD didn’t lay similar blessing on Bowden? Or Hatfield? As a Clemson fan I would have appreciated any help Devine or otherwise
Those coaches were just as Christian as Dabo, and vocal about it
How bout all the other coaches that are just as Christian … how could God let SMU get the death penalty never to be quite the same since. How could TCU (although TCU has had a good year) and all the other religious schools not be great if God is laying blessings…
Reason would say if there is a God, he/she/it/they don’t care, just like the rest of our lives
