Passing out Tracts!

Many people do not pass out tracts because they are not sure how to go about it. Well it is simple! JUST DO IT! I recently purchase a new study bible from Living Waters called "The Evidence Bible". There is an inset at the top left in Mark Chapter 4 titled "Where to Leave Tracts" and here is the list they share:

* At Pay Phones (we dont see many of these any more)
* 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, flight attendants, cab drivers and gas station workers
* in restrooms
* At rest areas
* On ATM's 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 ( I missed an opportunity this past week )
* On seats at airports, subways and bus stations
* In plane seat pockets
* Inside magazines
* In cabs
* In Laundry mats

After looking at this list I bet you can think of even more places. At the grocery store, the video store, Walmart employees.

Some people never get out of thier house but they still have people come and visit them, they can leave tracts on the coffee table and give them out then. Those who are more blessed financially can order tracts in large quantities and give them to trustworthy individuals to be passed out in grocery stores and malls, to be left with "Generous tips" (even if the service was bad, that is called grace, receiving a gift we don't desrve)

We see people everyday who do not have a real relationship with Jesus. Many are like I was, relying on a prayer from childhood. We are not save by words crossing the lips. We are saved by Faith, evidenced by a total surrender, by realizing there is nothing we can ever do to repay what God has done for us thru his Son, Jesus. You know we must first come before the throne and realize that we need forgiveness, that without what Jesus did on the cross, we cannot make it to Heaven, That he is the way the truth and the light, that no one come to the Father but by him. I am not talking about head knowledge that Jesus is real or that he died for our sins, even the demons believe that. I am talking about true faith.

If placed in the position of choosing Christ & death or renounce Christ and life what would you do? Really! What would you do? Abdul Rahman chose Christ and was spared for the wrath of the government but now lives in hiding in Afghanistan today in fear for his life. Yet he has not renouced the Christ! He never waivered in the face of execution. Would you do the same? The Bible teaches us to examine ourselves and see if we are in the faith. I urge you to do this today!

You know that in America it is very unlikely that you will be injured in any way for sharing your faith. In fact, You are more likely to be injured in a car accident than to be injuered sharing your faith. I was in Hobby Lobby today and gave out a couple of million dollar bills. In Wal-mart Tuesday I was able to give some Ten Commandment coins, and another tonight at Chille Verde

Take 9 minutes and listen to this "George Street"

Then "Go & Share your faith while THEY still have time!"

Remember the disciples were cowards on Friday and willing martyrs from the day of pentecost on. Paul was stoned, beatened, jailed, shipwrecked and willingly went to his execution in Rome. All this in an effort to share the Gospel.
