1. Tracts are the Gospel prayerfully extended from the scriptures:
outstretched arms of love where many may never read a Bible, enter a
Church or talk with a believer.
2. An uncompromised silent
preacher: a bridge from the lost to conversation with (or in addition to
contact with) the believer: A 'jigsaw piece' or 'seed' in the Lord's plan of redemption.
3. The words of men are weak and changeable, but the Word of God is powerful and lasts forever.
4. Circumstances can make difficult the message to share, but the tract can be prayerfully transferred in a moment.
5. They work with/for all manner of Christian, bold or fearful, to meet
the desires/burden of their hearts: to reach the world, (fulfilling the
great commision): strangers, friends and loved ones with the urgent
truth of His Gospel.
"When preaching and private talk are not
available, you need to have a tract ready . . . Get good striking
tracts, or none at all. But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of
eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts."
- Charles Spurgeon
