Gospel Tracts are Effective Tools Gospel tracts are effective tools which we can use in the course of our daily witness. Tracts can (and should) be used by all Christians, not just those in full-time Christian service. Eternity will testify to the millions who have been saved via the printed page, and I suspect that the majority of those tracts would have been handed out by everyday Christians just serving the Lord in this simple way.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18

Gospel Tracts and Seagulls
I would like to share an experience that happened here at Immanuel Baptist. One day, the Learning Center door was snatched open by a very distraught man demanding that someone talk to him about some Gospel tracts that had our church stamp placed on them. I firmly but politely told him to go outside. Once outside, I calmed him down, and this was his story.
He was about 26 years old, married, had a nice family, and everything seemed great. Then, the doctor found a tumor on his brain and had to operate a immediately.
After the operation his personality and behavior changed so drastically that his family could not tolerate him and left. He turned to alcohol and drugs to seek help, which only complicated the situation, causing him to attempt suicide a couple of times. He sought help through the rehabilitation systems, but to no avail. He finally came to live with his mom.
Then, one day, while standing on South Bridge trying to figure out a way to kill himself without the body being found, he saw a seagull picking up a creature on the beach. He went to investigate and just as he got there, a corked bottle with papers in it washed up on the beach. He opened it, and inside were two Gospel tracts. He read them, then asked his mom to drive him to our church for help. I slowly explained the plan of salvation to him until he clearly understood every point. He then asked Jesus Christ to come into his life and save his soul. He was baptized 2 weeks later. I found out that the couple in our church, John and Margaret Redwine, collected empty liquor bottles, placed Gospel tracts inside, sealed them and then toss them into the Taylor Creek to go out to the sea with the next tide. Glory! God used a seagull, an empty liquor bottle, 2 Gospel tracts and a preacher to point a man to Jesus Christ! This experience shows them the reality of God's word not returning back to him void. That young man died two months after his conversion.

The World Is Mine
Today, upon the bus I saw a lovely girl with golden hair,
I envied her, she seemed so gay, and I wished I were so fair,
When suddenly she rose to leave, and I saw her hobble down the aisle,
She had one leg, and wore a crutch, and as she passed, a smile.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine...
I have two legs. The world is mine.
And then I stopped to buy some sweets, The lad who sold them had such charm,
I talk to him: he seemed so glad... if I were late 'twould do no harm,
And as I left he said to me :"Thank you. You have been so kind.
It's nice to talk to folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind".
Oh God, forgive me when I whine...
I have two eyes. The world is mine.
Later, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play; it seemed he knew not what to do.
I stopped a moment, then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine...
I have two ears. The world is mine.
With legs to take me where I'd go,
With eyes to see the sunset glow,
Two ears to hear what I would know...
Oh God, forgive me when I whine...
I'm blessed indeed. The world is mine.

🚨 There are no second chances after death! This is a false gospel.
8️⃣. They Believe God Had Physical Relations with Mary
Mormon leaders have taught that God the Father physically conceived Jesus with Mary.
📖 Matthew 1:18 – "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."
📖 Luke 1:35 – "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee."
🚨 The Bible clearly states that Mary conceived by the Holy Ghost—NOT physical relations!
9️⃣. They Have a Man-Made Prophet as Their Authority
Mormons follow their living prophet and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints rather than Scripture alone.
📖 Colossians 2:8 – "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
🚨 True Christianity follows Christ alone! Mormonism follows a false prophet.
🔟. They Teach That God Has a Wife
Mormons teach that God is married to a "Heavenly Mother" and that humans are spirit children born from this union.
📖 Isaiah 45:5 – "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me."
🚨 This pagan doctrine is completely unbiblical!
🚨 Final Verdict: Mormons Are a Cult, Not Christians 🚨
Mormonism distorts biblical truth, denies the one true God, rejects salvation by grace, and follows a man-made religious system.
🚫 They are a counterfeit gospel (Galatians 1:8) leading people away from the true Jesus of the Bible!
🔥 True Christianity Stands On:
✅ One True God (Isaiah 43:10)
✅ The Trinity (Matthew 28:19)
✅ The Bible as the Final Authority (2 Timothy 3:16)
✅ Salvation by Grace Alone (Ephesians 2:8-9)
✅ Jesus as the ONLY way (John 14:6)
🚨 Mormons reject all of these! That is why they are a cult—not a Christian denomination.
⚠️ Beware of them, and stay away!

In the story above, that Marine was handed a Gospel tract, he read it and accepted Jesus as his Saviour. Notice what he did after he read it and believed. He gave it to 2 fellow Marines to read, because he wanted them to be saved. Brothers and sisters, that 1 tract was shared at least twice after that Marine was born again. What could God do with that Gospel tract you share? Another thing to consider, we should never ask anyone if they are a Christian. If that Marine with the Gospel tract had asked that question, and gotten the answer, "Yes," he may not have given him that Gospel tract. Sow bountifully and you will reap bountifully. God bless you and make you a blessing as you share. I love you and I'm praying for you.

Laundromat Conversion
I was reared in a rural area in upstate New York. Religiously, my family was Roman Catholic. My mother kept me attending the mass faithfully. I did all of the religious instruction classes as well.
As a baby I was baptized, as a young child I did confession, penance, and 1st communion. After that I was confirmed. I did many religious activities as young person. I assumed these good works and activities would earn me God's favor and eternal life. As I grew into my late teens, I got away from church and religious involvement; I was living life as any 21 year old single man would live.
Early Monday I would head to the laundry mat to do laundry. One particular day I picked up a Gospel tract someone had left there, entitled “God's Simple Plan of Salvation.”
I read that tract several times and one particular verse of the scripture hit me hard. John 3: 3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
I knew I wasn't born again. As I continued to read, I realized I was a Sinner, lost, and on my way to hell. I had never known such conviction of my sin and a need for a savior. I went out into the pickup truck I was driving, bowed my head, and lifted my heart to God. I confessed that all my religious activity could not earn my salvation. I turned from my sin and I received Jesus Christ as my Saviour! Thank God for that Gospel tract!
I then began to search for a Bible preaching, Bible teaching church. One day I came home from work and found another Gospel tract on my door with the church address. I went to the church that Sunday morning. God has richly blessed my life. I enjoy forgiveness of sin. I have a terrific wife and family, and pastor that same church I visited nearly 30 years ago. Incidentally, the person who left that tract turned out to be my wife, we met in church! Praise God for faithful people who distribute Gospel tracts.

10 Reasons Why Mormons Are a Cult and Not Christians
Mormons (Latter-day Saints or LDS), founded by Joseph Smith in 1830, claim to be Christians but deny core biblical doctrines. Here are some crazy things they believe:
1️⃣. They Believe God Was Once a Man
Mormons teach that God the Father was once a human being who became exalted into Godhood. This completely contradicts Scripture!
📖 Malachi 3:6 – "For I am the LORD, I change not."
📖 Psalm 90:2 – "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."
The God of the Bible is eternal and unchanging—He was never a man!
2️⃣. Joseph Smith Was a Mystic and a Freemason
Joseph Smith was deeply involved in the occult, practicing folk magic, treasure digging, and scrying (using seer stones) before founding Mormonism. He also became a Freemason in 1842, incorporating Masonic rituals into Mormon temple ceremonies.
📖 Deuteronomy 18:10-12 – "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD."
📖 Ephesians 5:11 – "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
🚨 The founder of Mormonism was a mystic, not a man of God!
3️⃣. They Practiced Polygamy and Co-Husbandry
Mormon leaders, including Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, taught and practiced polygamy, claiming it was necessary for exaltation. Some women were even "sealed" to multiple men, a practice known as co-husbandry in early LDS history.
📖 Genesis 2:24 – "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
📖 1 Timothy 3:2 – "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach."
🚨 Biblical marriage is between one man and one woman! Mormonism corrupted God’s design.
4️⃣. They Have Their Own Corrupt Scriptures
Mormons reject the KJV alone and add their own books, including The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price.
📖 Proverbs 30:5-6 – "Every word of God is pure... Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."
📖 Revelation 22:18-19 – "If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book."
🚨 God’s Word is complete! Mormons add to it and teach false doctrine.
5️⃣. They Teach Works-Based Salvation
Mormons believe in salvation by works, including baptism, temple rituals, and obeying LDS commandments.
📖 Ephesians 2:8-9 – "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
📖 Titus 3:5 – "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us."
🚨 The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!
6️⃣. They Teach That Jesus and Satan Are Brothers
Mormonism teaches that Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers, a blasphemous and unbiblical teaching!
📖 Colossians 1:16-17 – "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth... all things were created by him, and for him."
📖 John 1:3 – "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
🚨 Jesus is the Creator! Satan is a created being who rebelled against God.
7️⃣. They Believe in Baptism for the Dead
Mormons practice baptism for the dead, claiming that the dead can be saved through proxy baptisms.
📖 Hebrews 9:27 – "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."
📖 Luke 16:26 – "And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."

A Gospel Tract away from Heaven
There was a time while going home from a school a young man came on the train my friends and I were riding and asked us a question. The question he asked us was, if this train was to crash would you be going to heaven? I don't recall how my friends responded, but I responded confidently with a “Yes.” At that time I believed that with all my heart. The reason I believed that was due to when I attended a certain Pentecostal church a friend of mine invited me to. An invitation was given to come up and accept Jesus Christ. I was hesitant at first but when someone encouraged me to go up when they called, I went forward. When I got up there a man put his hand upon my head and prayed for me. I recalled that I wasn't shown anything from the Bible that told me how I may be saved or how I can have assurance of salvation. I was just prayed for. I thought that was my salvation. So I thought. I spent four years truly believing I was headed to Heaven when I died because of that day, when in reality I was headed for hell because I had not truly accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.
One day while I was walking back from the mess hall (marines dining facility) to my trailer in Fallujah Iraq, another marine who was walking to the mess hall handed me a Gospel tract. I took it, he went his way and I went mine. I reached my trailer and read it. It was there that I trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and was born again.
The first thing I remember doing was taking that tract and giving it to a friend of mine to read and another friend of mine that I was somewhat close with. Something in me said, “I have to share this with them.” I started to read the Bible my aunt gave me before going into the marines. Ever since that day I received that tract in August or September of 2005 and believed the words that were pinned from the Holy Scriptures I have been changed. When my contract with the marines was completed in January 2006, two months later I was directed by God to gospel light Baptist Church in Jamaica, Queens, New York, under pastor Dana she dies. I was then baptized in may of 2006. I now have been saved four years going on five. Currently I've been a member of gospel light 3 1/2 years. In 2006 I was also called to preach. I am now preaching in a nursing home ministry the Lord opened up for me in February 2009. I preached there once a month. I preach on street corners, buses, and trains. I also preaching our children's church once a month and assist the children church director there. I also have been privileged to teach a teen boys Sunday school class. This is all because of one of God's faithful servants who did his part and trusted God for the rest, by simply giving me a gospel tract. The word of God never comes back void. It accomplishes what he sends it to do. All the seed that was planted before was what brought me to be one Gospel tract away from heaven. Christians keep seeding, watering, and you will reap. Many are one tract away from heaven. They are just waiting for one of God's faithful servants as I was. All praises be to the most High.

I am now preaching in a nursing home ministry the Lord opened up for me in February 2009. I preached there once a month. I preach on street corners, buses, and trains. I also preaching our children's church once a month and assist the children church director there. I also have been privileged to teach a teen boys Sunday school class. This is all because of one of God's faithful servants who did his part and trusted God for the rest, by simply giving me a gospel tract. The word of God never comes back void. It accomplishes what he sends it to do. All the seed that was planted before was what brought me to be one Gospel tract away from heaven. Christians keep seeding, watering, and you will reap. Many are one tract away from heaven. They are just waiting for one of God's faithful servants as I was. All praises be to the most High.
