Use the Word of God - It Is Alive! - READ A SCRIPTURE THAT IS CAREFULLY CHOSEN

All the new tracts have the same forma. So when we learn how to use one, we know how to use them all.  One service overseer in Hawaii, U.S.S., wrote: "Little did we realize how effective these new tools would be both to the house-to-house work and in public witnessing."  Why are the tracts so easy to use?  He feels that this is because of the question and the possible answers  found on the front of them.  The householder does not have to worry about giving a wrong answer.  The brother says that because of the way the tracts are written, many more people are willing to talk, and this leads o interesting conversations.

 Each tract contains a carefully chosen scripture that we can read to the householder.  Take, for example, the tract Will Suffering Ever End?  Ask the householder the question on the cover.  He can pick "yes" or "no," or "maybe" as the answer. Whatever his answer is, turn to the inside page and simply say,  "Here is what the Bible says." Then read REVELATION  3:16, 17.

When you use the tract How Do You View the Bible?  It does not matter which of the three answers the householder chooses. Just turn to the inside or the tract and say,  "The Bible says that the 'all Scripture is inspired of God."  You could add,  Actually, that passage says much more."  Then open your Bible, and read all of 2 TIMOTHY 3:16, 17.
