Always, always, always carry tracts where ever you go. As Charles Spurgeon said, “Get good striking tracts, or none at all.” First and foremost, get tracts that thoroughly explain the Gospel. Don’t get ones that are vague or water down the Gospel. I steer away from booklet tracts; they are too long. I personally like money tracts. The $3, million, $0, and billion dollar bills are my personal favorites. They are a joy to hand out. People gladly take them and have even asked for more to give to their friends. I always have them with me and give them to cashiers, waitresses, tellers, and anyone else who serves me.
Tracts are also good ice breakers when you want to swing a conversation to the spiritual. Often I will strike up a conversation with someone, talk briefly, then hand them a tract, and say, “Did you get one of these?” I will let them look it over a second and then say, “That is actually a Gospel tract. If you flip it over, it tells you how to get right with God…Do you ever give that any thought?” Now the Gospel is the subject of the conversation! It works every time.
Tracts are also essential tools for the shy Christian. If you can’t bring yourself to talk to a stranger about the Gospel, hand them a tract. If you can’t get up the nerve to give a stranger a tract, leave them in place where people can find them, bathrooms, ATMs, benches in the mall, under windshield wipers, inside books at bookstores, in pockets of new clothes, ect.
I strongly believe that every Christian’s duty is to share the Gospel, and we all need to do something. Distributing tracts is the least a Christian can do. People are lost in their sins and need to hear the Gospel. Tracts are a valid and effect way to get the Gospel to the lost. Charles Spurgeon said, “But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts.”
