This was encouraging

READ MORE

I was at the post office to check the PO Box. I noticed this tract balanced on the molding. And no, this isn’t a tract I had left there previously. It was really encouraging to see that others are sharing the Gospel too.

Before leaving the tract there i took some pictures of the insides. See below.

At the gas pump

READ MORE

When I taught my sons to drive one of the things they learned was how to pull up the to gas pump and fill up the car. Swipe the credit card, select the type of fuel, start the pump. Then, and most importantly, put a tract in the credit card slot for the next customer.

Since I typically fill up with gas once or twice a week this is a regular way to share the Gospel for me.

Winning the lottery

READ MORE

At work we often talk about the need for others to know what you do so that in case one day you are not there to do it. I used to use the phrase “in case you get run over by a truck”. One day one of my direct reports asked “why am I always getting run over by a truck?” Point taken. Since nost also don’t want to think a out getting let go, I have changed my line to imply they are gone because they “won the lottery!”

Well, I digress to a point. People play the lottery for a number of reasons. Probably one of those is to have a better future. Most people think having more money would provide that better future. The reality is that their vision is too short sighted. The future goes all the way to eternity. That’s why I left tracts in English and Spanish on this lottery kiosk. It’s and easy way to get the Gospel out by simply putting a tract or two there.

At lunch I met Craig in the Dallas West End for some witnessing. This is one of our favorite fishing holes. There are always people there milling about and waiting for the train or bus. So it is easy to approach them, hand them a tract and then share the Gospel with them.

I had an assortment of tracts with me including Fried at the Fair (which is popular this time of year with the Texas State Fair now in its first full week), Dallas Cowboys football schedule tract and a new version of the Who do you say that I AM that will be in the November mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club.

Many people took the Cowboys schedule tracts. I had several good conversations with people with the fried at the fair tracts. Those conversations go like this. Can you name 10 things fried at the fair. Regardless if they do, then ask “can you name the Ten Commandments?” I had two teens tell me that they could not name the Ten Commandments, but one boasted that he could name 20 types of weed! They both claimed to be Christian. I reminded them that the Bible says not to be drunk, but to be full of the Holy Spirit!

I gave out the bookmark that is pictured above along with a New Testament to a young lady who listened very intently to the Gospel. After a brief conversation that started with the Fried at the Fair tract, I asked if she had read the Bible. She said no. So I asked if I could show her a couple things. She agreed. So I sat down next to her on the bench where she was sitting, opened the New Testament and walked her through the questions. She took the New Testament and bookmark and thanked me for my time!
