Tracts aren't pearls. Most of them are propaganda, so the person handing them out feels good about himself.herself while avoiding conversing with anyone. I tend to take them to throw them away later, happy that at least one was not used on someone for the wrong purposes.

A tract containing the Gospel is fine with me. God's Word can do it's work whether preached or written. Those 26 soldiers can work for Christ's cause as well.

Anything about Jesus, is to be Honored, those who take his name and trash it, need to know what being born again, is. Many are called few are chosen, and Christ himself will say, I never knew you, for some just go against the everything, and to say something like that is being very indifferent, to understanding the sweetness of our Lord and Savior, "you shall know them by their fruits." bible verse.

I believe Br. Mar explained it very enlighted. That there is a difference, being in the world, and being in wickedness, if we don't go out into the world, to enjoy the beauty of God's creation, people become reluse, and withdrawn, and it is not healthy. I don't think Jesus meant for us to reacct in this manner, to withdraw from going out in the world, vacations, sight seeing, etc. This is all in the world, and more, the beauty of only HIS CREATIONS. There are so many versions of the bible, and I believe as Bro. Marc said, it meant wickedness, just as the rest of it, said, I pray for those that will be called out of the world, so it dosn't mean, called out to physical death, but called out of wickedness. Here's the problem. WE read things, and just don't stop to ask the Lord for understanding of it, we know the NIV version, actually leaves sentences out, and rewords things, I read something in another version, and went to look in the NIV, and it wasnt' there, but was in the KJV. This is the problem, we need the light of the HOly spirit to give us understanding. Thanks Bro. Marc, the Lord uses you here, to bring order out of chaos at times. :)
