I appreciate that those of you who give out tracts have good hearts and don't want anyone to be lost but they are very judgemental. Have you seen the Billy Graham ones?
When I read the Gospels I see Jesus teaching, loving, healing, casting out demons etc. Although he warns of hell He tells so many parables about the Kingdom of Heaven and love radiates out of the accounts of Him. I'm not a big fan of tracts but if they are used can they be ones which give people an appetite to find out more about Jesus (as well as some contact details to lead them to a church/Christian organisation/Alpha Course, etc.)? Yes, they need to explain that salvation is about accepting Jesus' death in our place (and I think it should be "we are all sinners" not "you are a sinner") but should they not be Jesus orientated rather than judgement orientated? Or why not give out the Gospel of Mark? (I chose that as the shortest). Jesus is Immanuel: God with us; The Word become flesh; it's amazing. John 1 v 1-14 would make a good tract, along with details of how to accept Him and find out more. I think tracts should reflect His glory and love and give people hope.
