The great tract debate

I hear a large portion of Christians say that tracts are "worthless". I used to believe that myself until I met several people who were saved through reading a tract. I think we have to not look at numbers of people being saved, but look at what we are commanded to do by God.

If we looked just at numbers, then we wouldn't see Jesus as being that "successful in modern terms". He had 12 disciples, 1 who betrayed Him, 1 who denied Him three times, others who didn't believe Him, etc... Yet the power wasn't in numbers, it is in the power of God.

What does God command of us?
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..."- Matthew 28:19

What did Jesus do?
"From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.""- Matthew 4:17

It doesn't depend on us, but on God!
"...Salvation comes from the LORD."- Jonah 2:9

God can use anything to save someone...
"I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham."- Matthew 3:9

Carm.org has a great article on why Christians should witness to people...

And here is an awesome tract idea for the week, placing them in bank holders :D
