The Inevitable Conversion of Current Events To Tract Fodder
Promotional Materials From 1958
A loyal SFL reader rescued this tract from a local business and passed it along to us. One can only imagine this church ordered 80,000 copies of this item half a century ago and are determined to use them until they run out.
After all, color printing and graphic design are how Satan draws people to those seeker-sensitive churches.
Gospel Gimmicks: Jesus Ain’t Your Homeboy Tract
Want to reach the folks in the cities around you? Take one gospel tract designed by someone who is completely ignorant of contemporary culture. Add a dash of bad grammar. Throw in a thinly veiled dig at urban minority culture in general. Shake well.
Gospel Gimmicks: The Million Dollar Tract
The love of money is the root of all evil. But that fact notwithstanding, some fundamentalists evidently believe that fake one-million dollar bills make a great way to spread the gospel.
Consider the draw. A million Dollars + Ronald Reagan + Heaven!!! A gimmick like this one just can’t go wrong. As an added bonus putting a Republican President on the front will keep out the riffraff. Expect instant revival as soon as you open the package (only $5.00 for 100).
And if the Secret Service starts knocking at your door asking why you’re making realistic looking money? Just claim persecution and go to court! That way your witness will reach judges, lawyers, clerks, jury members, and maybe even the evening news.
You cannot serve God and filthy lucre. But what if you put the gospel ON filthy lucre? Genius.
