His command in Acts 1:8 says to go and preach the Gospel, if this were done on the scale that it should be, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Get a few thousand Gospel tracts put them where the pizza guys put thier coupons and watch God work in your lives!!!!!!!!!!!Then when you run out of that few thousand get a few thousand more...
What you're saying is true, no argument from me. Tracts are good for people (like me) who are uncomfortable doing evangelism. Not all of us have the necessary people skills to witness or evangelize others. It's not our gift to the body of Christ.Tracts are not God's Word. There is nothing wrong with them, per se, but when they become a primary means of evangelism in an attempt to convert the largest number of people with the least amount of effort, rather than a tool to be used in the context of relational evangelism, this is problematic. But, as this is off topic, I will leave my comments on the matter at that.
Do you really think that tracts attract more people than they turn off? The Great Commission is not about giving people tracts; it is about living out the Great Commandment and watching lives changed by the love of God, which nonbelievers experience through the people of God, living as the the people of God. If tracts were really all that effective, I think I would be a JW by now.
God's own WORD promises that HIS WORD will not go forth void. Tracts bring the WORD that bring salvation to some and damnation to others. In the judgement I'm sure God will smile on those that helped get out the countless number of tracts that have been distributed over the course of time-Shalom
What could it hurt to pass out God's WORD of the Gospel?
Any sort of evangelism done as directed by the HS is wonderful. What I always object to is the works type of evangelism that feels good only because X number of tracts got delivered today. IMHO that is cult thinking.
This sunday in worship time we were singing about God shining his light on the world. What came into my spirit is that Christ always said we were the light that is His light shines not apart and separated from us but through us. He can use even the shiest of shy person to share his light and love witht his hurting world. The key???? Listen to the HS leading He made you for a purpose and He will use us if we are willing. We are witnesses and if God is working in our lives we have lots to share.
Evangelism is work, for it requires laborers. By handing someone a tract, you are handing them the Gospel. I'll take 10 people who want nothing to do but hand out Gospel tracts over one million people who want to just let their light's shine.
Tell me how do you share your light and love with His hurting world?
VCViking,
God bless you for your evangelism!
I really like watching Ray Comfort's approach. I have seen him make grown men cry. Quite an effective approach when the Spirit has prepared someone beforehand. You can never tell who is ready to make the leap from spiritual darkness to the light of Jesus Christ and his kingdom.
You will look good wearing that "soul winners crown" in his kingdom.
God bless your efforts to bring the sheep back into the fold my brother.

I LOVE to give people bibles. I want to be guilty of giving many people the WORD of GOD. I give bibles to whoever will accept them. I like to keep some extra on hand at all times for that very purpose. If it only helped one enter the kingdom...all the effort expended would be worthwhile. I do seek the soul winners crown. Hope I am worthy.

Amen! We'll probably never know how many lives are touched with the Bible we give away, but we do have God's Promise that He will use it for His Purpose and it will not return void. A Bible can testify many times over multiple generations, even when it's worn out and falling apart. So, a Bible is one of the most beautiful gifts we can give, and it still contains the most powerful and precious message on earth.
