Tracts why they are so important..

Tracts why they are so important..

Spurgeon called gospel tracts “silent preachers.”

I want to tell you that Gospel tracts can be a door that opens up the gospel for the unbeliever.

Here are some, ways to hand out tracts, and where to leave them.

Tracts can provide an opening for us to share our faith.We can watch
people’s reaction as we give them a tract, and see if they are open to
listening to spiritual things.

They can do the witnessing for us. If we are too timid to speak to others
about the things of God, we can at least give them a tract, or leave
one lying around so that someone will pick it up.

They speak to the individuals when they are ready; people don’t read
it until they want to.

They can find their way into people’s homes when we can’t.

They don’t get into arguments; they just state their case.

Here are some individuals who were save through a gospel tract.
George Whitefield, a diver, and the great missionary Hudson Taylor were
all saved through a gospel tract.

Here are five advantages of using gospel tracts.
1.) Tracts can provide an opening for us to share our faith.
2.) They can do the witnessing for us.
3.) They speak to the individuals when they are ready.
4.) They can find their way into people’s homes when we can’t.
5.) They don’t get into arguments; they just state their case.

An effective way to get people to take a tract?
Greet people warmly then ask, “Did you get one of these?” It makes them
feel as though they are missing out on something—and they are.

Charles Spurgeon’s advice on gospel tracts?
Spurgeon’s advice is to always have a tract ready for when preaching and
private talk are not available, and to get good tracts and never go out without
them.

Charles Spurgeon on the use of tracts:
I well remember distributing them in a town in England where
tracts had never been distributed before, and going from house to
house, and telling in humble language the things of the kingdom of
God. I might have done nothing, if I had not been encouraged by
finding myself able to do something . . . [Tracts are] adapted to those
persons who have but little power and little ability, but nevertheless,
wish to do something for Christ. They may not have the tongue of
the eloquent, but they may have the hand of the diligent. They cannot
stand and preach, but they can stand and distribute here and there
these silent preachers . . . They may buy their thousand tracts, and
these they can distribute broadcast.
I look upon the giving away of a religious tract as only the first
step for action not to be compared with many another deed done for
Christ; but were it not for the first step we might never reach to the
second, but that first attained, we are encouraged to take another,
and so at the last . . . There is a real service of Christ in the distribution
of the gospel in its printed form, a service the result of which
heaven alone shall disclose, and the judgment day alone discover.
How many thousands have been carried to heaven instrumentally
upon the wings of these tracts, none can tell.

If you are wondering where you could leave tracts, here are several
suggestions:

At pay phones
In shopping carts
In clothes pockets in stores
In letters to loved ones
With a generous tip
On seats in restaurant lobbies
With fast-food employees, cashiers, and gas station workers
In restrooms
At rest areas
On ATM machines and bank counters
In envelopes with bill payments
In elevators
On hotel dressers for the maid
On ice machines
On newspaper racks
In waiting rooms of doctors’ offices and hospitals
On seats at airports, subways, and bus stations
With flight attendants and cab drivers
In plane seat pockets
Inside magazines
In cabs
In laundromats

Now I hope this will help you sow the seed of the Gospel and give someone
a Tract.
