Gospel Tracts With a Twist

Gifted Success




The power of a man's gift is truly remarkable. It can open doors and create opportunities that might have never otherwise been possible. Giving generously and thoughtfully allows a man to establish valuable connections and build meaningful relationships. It is said that a man's gift can even make room for him before great men. This means that a single gesture of kindness can pave the way for a lifetime of success and achievement.


So next time you have the chance to give a gift, remember that it could be the key to unlocking your greatest potential.

Negative Influence




It is no secret that the actions of one person can have a ripple effect on others. This rings especially true regarding a perverse man's tendencies to sow strife and a whisperer's ability to separate the best of friends. These toxic behaviors infect those around them, causing tension and conflict where there once was none.


While it may be difficult to avoid such individuals altogether, it is essential to recognize the harm they can cause and actively work towards reducing their negative impact. After all, a life filled with wholesome relationships and friendships is far more fulfilling than one filled with strife and separation.

God's Guidance



Life is full of twists and turns, and we all have plans and dreams for the future. It can be easy to get caught up in our ambitions and forget that there is a greater force at work. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that, ultimately, it is God who directs our steps, even if we may not always understand why. It's comforting to know that even when our plans may fall through or take unexpected turns, we can trust in God to guide us toward the path we are meant to take.


The most important thing we can do is to stay open to the opportunities that come our way and be willing to adjust our plans when necessary. With faith and some flexibility, we can navigate the journey ahead with confidence and peace of mind.

Family Joy




As we grow old, nothing is as satisfying as watching our grandchildren grow up. Seeing them take their first steps, hearing their first words, and watching them develop their unique personalities is genuinely a joy unlike any other. It's funny how, as parents, we often lament the trials and tribulations of raising children - but as grandparents, we seem to forget all of that and revel in the experience of being part of these little ones' lives. On the other side of the equation, we also understand how important it is to be a good father and to help guide our children in their journeys through life.


After all, a child's greatest glory is a loving and supportive father who is always there for them, no matter what. In short, there is no greater gift than being a grandparent or a father - and those who are fortunate enough to experience both genuinely are blessed. 

Building Wisdom




An old saying goes, "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands." This proverb is the kind of thing that can make us stop and reflect on our own lives. Are we wise, or are we foolish? Do our actions build us up or tear us down? The metaphor of a house is powerful here, as it represents not only our physical dwelling place but also our inner selves.


If we're wise, we'll invest time and energy into creating a solid life foundation. We'll build our relationships, skills, and sense of self-worth. But if we're foolish, we might take the opposite approach, tearing down what we've built with our hands. The choice is ours.

Legacy of Generosity




Generosity is a value that has been treasured throughout human history to pass down blessings and security to future generations. Proverbs 13:22 reflect this core principle, reminding us that a good man who strives to live a life of integrity and moral fortitude will leave an inheritance to his grandchildren. This is not simply a matter of material wealth but of the legacy of love, wisdom, and guidance that such a person imparts to those around them. In contrast, the wealth of the sinner - one who lives a life of greed, deceit, and disregard for others - is ultimately destined to benefit the righteous.


While this may seem like divine retribution, it is also a reminder that true wealth and abundance come not from hoarding resources but from cultivating relationships of mutual respect and generosity. In this way, we can all aspire to leave a legacy of love and blessing for those who come after us.

Warnings




The Bible has long been a source of moral guidance and wisdom, and nowhere is this more evident than in the book of Proverbs. In chapter 6, the wise King Solomon lists six things the Lord hates and even says seven are an abomination to Him. While each item on the list is worth unpacking in its own right, it is clear that these behaviors are to God's loving, compassionate nature.


As we strive to live our lives honoring Him, we must be mindful of these warnings and seek His guidance in all that we do.
