Tract Ideas



Tract Ideas

Last night we met after evangelism and discussed writing a tract. Please comment about any of these and give me feedback. This is just the beginning of writing a tract. May Christ be glorified!
Content of Tract (We want to be faithful to the whole gospel. How can we better articulate and communicate the gospel?)

• Creator-God has rights over our life.
• Man was created in the image of God. We were created to be in an intimate, worshipful relationship with God. Man longs to fill the relational void.
• Sin is a failure to worship God for His goodness.
  • A failure to treasure God above all things (The lawyer asked Jesus, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.” Matthew 22:37)
• The law shows us our rebellion against God. It must be in a tract.
• What is repentance?
• Address the difference between faith and intellectual ascent. What is true faith? Jesus must be presented as more than just a “problem solver.” Is Jesus the treasure in the field that causes us to sell all and buy that field (“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Matthew 13:44). Jesus calls us to a life of worshipping him and following him.
  • You can’t follow someone you don’t know. (This addresses the relational aspect as well).
• We need to have the righteous life of Christ given to us. Imputed righteousness must be a part of the tract.
• Resurrection (New life, defeat over sin, death, hell, Satan, and the stamp of approval of Christ be God and sinless). Any other ideas?
• Jesus is coming back to judge the world (“But now God commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man (Christ Jesus) whom he has appointed” Acts 17:30-31)

Various Outreach Avenues
• Build a website that has links to tracts. As unbelievers click on these tracts they would get the gospel message and there would also be FAQ’s (what about evolution? Etc.) that would link to websites with answers, like Ravi Zacharias’ site.
• This website would also have links to local churches that are Christ-exalting and bible-saturated. We need to better connect unbelievers to solid churches. This is one way.
• Make business cards with the web address and a verse (“We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God” 2 Cor. 5:20)

May the Lord bless these efforts to "bring many sons to glory"!

I also have had these thoughts of tract writing. Titling would be scripture like "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man but the end there of is death." What think ye brother? I'll agree the tracts we have now a days are very dry and entertaining for the most part.
