    I will consider this approach for my next letter. I think there is a place for the fire and brimstone approach and why I use it and Chic tracts at times, but I like a variety of Approaches and that's why I have many different types of tracts. Gospel tracts go in every letter and I use all types. The Way of the Master, John Piper, John MacArthur, Chic, Mike Gendrin, and such. Many are Calvinist but some are non Calvinist but they all hit the gospel. Those weak on the presentation like The Bridge Tract and many from CrossWay I usually avoid.

    The Puritans were big on the Fire and Brimstone style and I can tell by reading their books. A while back RC Sproul made a good case for this style of evangelism and commended Chic Tracts despite their non Calvinist approach.

    Yes, and where are the Puritans now? Where is the First Puritan Church of Chicago, for instance? Hmmmm??...

    Did it include a psych evaluation?

    The things one can find on google. Amazing what is out there, which is why I google myself quite frequently to see what is out there.

    I have had them and am fine. I think you are the problem Rolf and you continue to act like a Rabbit in your attacks on me. So here is a Rabbit for you to look at. But you also need to stop by Don's house as he has some rabbits for you to spend time with.

    Bottom Line

    I am going to take in the lights advice for my second letter I will try to work on tonight. This one WILL NOT be Fire & Brimstone based.

    Perhaps for the letter I am working on at this time I may include a more softer tract such as God Loves You, or The Quest for Joy by John Piper.

    Puritan Seminary, founded 1995. And we're still kicking after all those years!

    Ha! This.

    For future reference, any time you tell somebody they're going to hell, especially in a flamboyant manner, no, it's not nice. :BangHead:

    Since when did a question become an attack? Do not be paranoid.

    I had my reason for asking, and you satisfied it.

    Evan,

    Have you ever thought of sending something like this. I've watched most of it and its a very clear gospel presentation. Might be better received, I would think most people would watch a DVD whereas they would disregard a tract quickly. A little more costly, but its just a thought.

    Excellent idea. You know I think I have 1-2 copies of that DVD someone sent a year ago that I may have lost. Yes you are right they would watch a DVD over a tract. I also have booklets I could send but it would require a bigger envelope. More costly but perhaps from time to time I can use this approach.

    Really???? God is not able to deal with such? He created the universe with His Fiat and His Holiness is at stake?

    He has a Fiat? He drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden in a Fury.

    I think you might be right, it was a foreshadowing of the Pilgrims landing at PLYMOUTH rock.

    Yep - I was going to address this as well. God's holiness is never at stake because nothing we do can possibly even remotely take that away from Him.
