Paper’s cold, you make it warm

women_talk_smHad you asked me when I graduated from seminary how many will you meet who will come to Christ through a tract, I would have said none.  Since then, I’ve met so many people who came to Christ through reading a tract I hand them out every opportunity.  I try to never be without one.  Due to the approachability of people in 2009, usually two tracts.  When people are turned off by tracts, it is not usually the presentation, it’s the presenter.  Shared in a cold and callous fashion, they can do harm.  But shared in the right way, they can be an instrument God uses to bring them to Christ.  After all, God wrote the first tract – the Gospel of John.  John 20:31 tells us “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life
in His name.”

Paper is cold, but you make it warm.  As you hand someone a tract, first of all make sure it presents the gospel clearly.  Don’t speaking confusingly where God speaks so clearly, even if it is through the use of literature.  Secondly, say something like, “I’d like to share with you something that has meant a lot to me.  I think you’ll enjoy it.”  If appropriate, you might want to put your name and number on the back so they can call you with any questions.

If you have all night, I could keep you up with stories about people coming to Christ through a tract.  Use them rightly though, not wrongly.
