Friday night a good friend of mine Mike Styles and I decided to head up to Barnett Park in big downtown Spartanburg to give away some Gospel tracts. Spartanburg was putting on the “Red, White and Boom Festival” for an early fourth celebration. Mike and I had only one objective on this outing and it was not to see the fireworks. We both had 100 gospel tracts and we planned on giving them all away at the entrance to the park.
It’s funny how some people just will not take things, even if they are free. It seems if you can start to get a crowd taking the free “Million Dollar Bill” gospel tract, other people will accept them without much hesitation. We had a great time and handed out 200 gospel tracts in about one hour.
Mike got to see first hand how the “Good Person” witnessing technique works. Towards the end we handed Caroline and her girlfriend a tract. They were friendly so I asked if they believed in God, which they both replied “Sure”. I asked Caroline if she thought she was a good person to which she relied “Yes” and her girlfriend said “She is very good”. I explained to Caroline that we humans compare our goodness to each other, but we need to look towards God’s goodness. I told her there is a small test to see just how good she was, and asked if she wanted to take it. After a couple of giggles from both the girls, Caroline agreed. After I had taken Caroline through God’s Law she was definitely convicted. I think I might have seen some tears come into her eyes once she started seeing herself how God views her. The giggles were now gone and she stood silenced before God’s Law, (Romans 3:19). The Gospel message should have stood out to her and she seemed to have a better understanding of what Jesus actual did up on that cross 2000 years ago. She said she would seriously consider the things we talked about, so please pray God will continue to work on her heart. Please pray the Lord will grow the seed in her life and that someone or even many that received the “Million Dollar Bill” will repent and place their faith and hope in Christ.
