But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderer, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
This month we are sending some of our most popular tracts. June closes out the 2024 primaries. While the presidential nominations might already be set, voting is important especially for state and local races. The Repent and Believe tract is themed for election hand out!
We have also included our popular Free Indeed, Are You Ready and Thank You Gospel tracts. Make sure not to leave home without your tracts and make a practice of handing out one every day! Want more encouragement? Join the Everyday Club on Facebook to connect with other tract club members, receiving daily tract challenges, share your commitment, and share your experiences.
For the past three months we have been explaining how to use the bookmarks that are included with each monthly mailing. On Rumble or YouTube you can find our Basic Evangelism Training Seminar. Around the one hour thirty three minute mark we describe the full use of the bookmark. I encourage you to check out the entire video, but at least the ten minutes that describe using the bookmark.
Last month we walked people though the Ten Commandments winding up with reminding them that by their own admission they are a “lying thieving, murderous, adulterer at heart”.
Now ask them to read Revelation 21:8 and ask them to answer the question “Where will you spend eternity—Heaven or Hell?” There should be an immediate connection between admitting they are a liar and liars being listed in Revelation 21:8 being destined for Hell. They might say it is just one lie. So there are a couple of things to focus on. First, we know from Psalm 51:4 that all sin is against God. If a dad lies to his child the child will come to not trust him. If a man lies to his wife, he will likely sleep on the couch. If he lies to his boss, he may be fired. And if he lies to the government, he may end up in prison. Same sin. Different outcome. The Bible says “all liars will have their place in the lake of fire” because it is against God. Similarly you can explain the other commandments with examples like this. Maybe they have not murdered. But Jesus says hatred is committing murder in the heart (Matthew 5:21-26). Maybe they have not committed adultery, but looking with lust is having already committed the act in the heart (Matthew 5:27-30).
God’s standard is so high He even judges our thought life. By the end of this point the person should understand that they are standing guilty before God. We don’t want to leave the person hanging here, but it is all the room we have in this letter. Now that the person understands their predicament, they are ready to hear the good news—Gospel!
