A very intoxicated man approached us while Bobby McCreery was preaching on the San Francisco Embarcadero, during this year’s Super Bowl Outreach. It was nearly impossible to reason with the man because he was so inebriated. Realizing that even if I could get him to focus long enough for me to verbally communicate the gospel with him that he would likely not remember the conversation in the morning, I made it my goal to get him to take a gospel tract. The reason: gospel tracts can go places you and I can’t.
Many Christians, for fallacious (and sometimes sinful) reasons, question the effectiveness of gospel tract distribution. Christians who do so do not realize they are actually questioning the power of the gospel itself. A well-written gospel tract communicates the gospel–the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16)–in a short, succinct fashion by using language an unsaved person can understand. The power of a gospel tract is in the message it contains.
