There is an interesting quote that goes like this:
“Live every day as if it were your last and then some day you’ll be right.” H.H. “Breaker” Morant
When we make a new tract we like to hand out a number of them before sending them out in the tract club so that we know what kinds of responses people have when they get the tract. Sometimes, we invision it will be received one way and in reality it is received in an entirely different manner. With this tract, the expectation is that people want to “clean up” their life before they die. So in that case the idea of being ready to die makes sense. Some people will realize that they are not living in a way that they would want to stand before God. I’ve only had one person take it “the other way” in which case he was taking as he might as well live it up becasue he might die any time. Regardless, we have found that this tract has been well received. We handed out a few thousand of them a a Dallas Cowboys pre-season game!
We printed this on a tract and have been handing them out. I just hand it to people and ask them to ponder this interesting quote. From there it is a simple transition to ask them “so what do you think will happen after your last day” or “when you die?” This leads to some interesting conversations and the chance to share the Gospel. This tract will be featured in the October mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club!
