Usually if someone is at our front door, I will have a tract in my "tract rack" (my shirt pocket) or in my hand. We also have a stack of tracts at the door. You see, we must PLAN on giving the gospel to everyone who comes to our door. Make sense?
After the business is taking care of, graciously hand them a tract and say, "May I give you something really good to read. You will like that" Alone like that I usually add, "This just tells you how to know for sure you are going to heaven." Pause and wait for a response. Very often, when they see "Your Ticket to Heaven" they will say, "Oh my, I need that." A perfect opening to say, "We all do. We are all in the same boat, we have all done something wrong, we have all sinned, haven't we?" So help me I have never had someone not admit they too have sinned when I put myself in "the same boat".
NEVER start out saying. "the first thing you need to know is you are sinner", "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Now you have put them on the defensive, you have offended them for they take it you are saying they have sinned but not you. Please remember this and always use it. "We are all in the same boat, we have all done wrong, we have all sinned, haven't we?." Most of the time the unsaved people think when you say sinned, you mean murder or raped someone and they have not done that so will not feel convicted. Putting yourself in the "same boat" they do not feel you are accusing or attacking them. Don't worry the Holy Spirit will do His part and convict them. You must believe that and depend on Him to do so.
If you had a glass of pure clean fresh water and poured one drop of poison in the glass, the whole glass full would be polluted. You would not drink it," So it is with us, one sin pollutes us and we are unfit for heaven. Now comes the really good and joyful part. Practice this with someone. To be continued Monday. Don't miss it.
"Pray for me, AND YOU, that utterance may be given unto me that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel...that I may speak boldly as I ought to speak." (Ephesians 6:19-20)
