Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 1 John 3:4
This month marks the 166th mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club. This months tracts are:
Uncle Sam… The ten commandments serve as a mirror to show us our sin! I am amazed that James Montgomery Flagg drew the famous “I want you for U.S. Army” he did it by drawing himself in a mirror. In a similar way when anyone honestly looks into the mirror of God’s Law they see themselves as a sinner in need of the savior. I often tell people in one on one conversations that “all have sinned” the only question is “if they will admit it”. If they confess their sin, repent and believe the Gospel, then God will save them!
Are you a good person? Many will say yes. Follow that up by asking “are you good enough to go to Heaven?” I like to point out to people that if they want to go to God’s Heaven, then they have to get there by God’s standard. Goodness therefore is by keeping his standard. See 1 John 3:4 printed above. Sin is lawlessness. And even one sin prevents someone from going to Hell on their own goodness. That’s why people need the Lord and his righteousness. None of us is good enough to go to Heaven. But Jesus is. That is the good news!
Fear Not — is it hard to believe that it’s been over two years since the COVID-19 pandemic struck the whole world? Will any of us ever forget where we were when we first heard of COVID-19? Or what we thought when the government declared some employees essential and others non-essential? During that time we created this tract because while we realized that people were fearful of COVID-19, they also are fearful of many other things. Some are fearful of who will be elected in the next election. Some are afraid of the dark. Or of heights. This tract shares hope that with God we need not fear. For those who believe God is with them. Share that hope with people as you hand out this tract!
Thank You — this is one of our most popular tracts. It is so easy to hand out. Just give it to thank someone for anything they do. Mail it with a thank you note or card. Hand it to someone in a store that provides you help to find an item. Leave it with a generous tip when you pay your bill at a restaurant. I emphasize generous tip, because please keep in mind, waiters and waitresses work hard. And to receive something instead of a tip is offensive to them. The word of God may offend them, but please don’t let your actions do that. Got other ideas on how to share the tract? Follow us on social media and share them with us. Feel free to take a picture of leaving a tract, post it on social media and tag us!
