Chris And The Name 10 Things On Your Bucket List Tract

READ MORE

Friday night at Walmart, I gave out several tracts as we went through the store. I spotted a young man walking with his attention on his iPhone. I slipped him “Name 10 Things On Your Bucket List” as he walked by. A few minutes later, he came back to ask “What is a bucket list?”. He had never heard the phrase “kick the bucket”. His name is Chris and is 18 years old. I explained that it was used to talk about when someone dies. He said that he wasn’t saved. I took him through 4 of the 10 commandments. He said that he would be guilty and would go to hell. We talked for several more minutes. I encouraged him to repent and put his trust in Jesus. There are a lot more young people out there like Chris. We need to be prepared to witness at all times.Take tracts with you “As You Go”!

What People Need To Do Before They “Kick The Bucket”

READ MORE

The phrase “kick the bucket” means to die. 150,000 people “kick the bucket” everyday. This tract, “Name 10 Things On Your Bucket List”, was in June’s tract club mailing. It talks about things people may want to do before they die. The #1 thing they need to do is to repent and put their trust in Christ! When I hand this one out, I say “This talks about things that you may want to do before you kick the bucket.” I gave one to Chris last night at the Chevron. After taking him through the law, he said that he would probably go to hell. I pray that Chris has prayed already! Let’s get the Gospel to the lost before they “kick the bucket”!

Sometimes The Message Isn’t Accepted

READ MORE

Sometimes the Gospel message is rejected by some not taking a tract or by tearing one up. I’ve seen some that were thrown on the ground after they were taken. One man told me that I was trying to “shove it down his throat” when all we were doing was giving out tracts and witnessing. Not everyone wants to hear the Gospel. I thought everyone wanted what I had when I got saved! I found out different! Rejections and torn up tracts shouldn’t stop us, though. For every rejection there will be 25 or more that will take a tract.

I leave tracts out at a laundry mat that I manage. I found this baseball trivia tract in the trash tonight. The person that did this must not have liked the Gospel message on the back. Prayerfully, this person is under conviction and about to get saved!
