The Gospel Tract

Hello! My name is Tract. Gospel Tract, that is, but you may just call me GT. I come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and I get around a lot so I am sure that you have seen me at one time or another. I am, by definition, “a propaganda pamphlet, especially one put out by a religious or political group.” At least that’s how one dictionary defines me. I must admit that I do have a lot of relatives both in the secular and religious worlds. Some of my religious relatives have not been the testimony they ought to…

Salted Oats

Perhaps you have heard the saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” Even though that saying is old and worn and has become trite, still it is a truth. A farmer brings the horse to the watering trough, but it just stands there. He may do everything in his power to get that stubborn horse to drink; however, if that horse is not ready to drink, he won’t, no matter what the farmer does. On the other hand, if the farmer were to salt the horse’s oats, the horse then being thirsty would want to drink the…

Fundamentalism – Militant vs Passive

Ecumenism – The Generic Religion

More and more there is a concerted effort to make all religions blend into one, world wide religion; even some people who claim to be saved are being swept into this. Gospel Tract Excerpt: In the 1970’s supermarkets began carrying what is known as “generic products.” The items included canned goods, coffee, tea, dehydrated soups, animal food, paper goods, and much more. A generic item is easily recognized by the plain, black and white label on the container it comes in. The colorful packaging and distinctives of the brand name manufacturer have been discarded in the generic product line, leaving allgeneric goods with a look-a-like appearance. When…

Abortion Is Murder

Someone once said that “A rose by any other name is still a rose,” and so it is. It is not uncommon to change the name of something to make it fit or conform to what we want it to be. In the world of political correctness (PC) calling something for what it really is will be met with scorn. Telling a lie is not lying, it’s just a failure to tell the truth. Running a red traffic light is just a failure to yield, being a drunkard is now substance abuse, illegal aliens are undocumented immigrants, chairman has been…

John 3:16 is one of the most memorized Bible verses of all time; most people know it. The “John 3:16? is a breakdown of the verse with an explanation.
