Damon And The Football Trivia Tract
August 16, 2013As You Go, one on one, strategy
Last Saturday while my wife went to Cato’s, my youngest son and I went to Big Lots. Before going in, we approached an employee who was taking a cigarette break. I offered him the new football trivia tract, which is in the September’s supply of tracts. His name is Damon. He said that he liked football. When presenting this tract, I’ll say that it has 4 trivia questions about football. The 5th one deals with what we have in common with all football players. This opens the door to talk about the spiritual. Damon said that he thought that he was going to heaven. I explained the difference between thinking and knowing. I quoted 1 John 5:13. He said that he was thinking about the things that we talked about. He wanted to get his children in church. I pray that he turns to The Lord soon! !
I like using Bezeugen tracts because they help in a witnessing encounter to swing from the natural to the spiritual. In his message “Hell’s Best Kept Secret”, Ray Comfort talks about not shining a flashlight in the sinner’s eyes. This would be saying things like “Jesus loves you” and “Repent or else!” You have to turn the light on slowly so that the sinner can see that he or she has broken God’s law. This is what tracts and using the the Ten Commandments do. What a way to witness! Turn the light on slowly so people can see their transgression. Take them through the law of God to mirror their violations against a holy God. Show them what Jesus did so that our fine was paid in full through his blood. When you have finished talking, that person still has a tract and prayerfully, will be convicted by the Gospel message to turn to Jesus with a real repentance that will give him or her eternal life in Heaven!
