      <title>&quot;When Love Grows Cold: Why People Are Drifting Apart In the Last Days&quot;</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Have you noticed how cold and disconnected the world has become?

Families are drifting apart…
friendships are weakening…
neighbors barely know each other anymore…
and even many churches no longer feel like true spiritual families.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of The Brother Carlton Show, Brother Carlton examines the sobering prophecy of Matthew 24:12:

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”

Why are relationships breaking down at every level of society?

Why are so many people lonely, anxious, emotionally exhausted, and spiritually disconnected?

And why does the Bible warn that this would happen in the last days?

In this message, you will discover:
• How technology has replaced genuine human connection
• Why families and friendships are growing colder
• How churches are drifting away from true biblical fellowship
• What 2 Timothy 3 reveals about modern society
• Why many people have become “without natural affection”
• How believers can resist the growing coldness of the world through Christ

This is more than a social issue—it is a spiritual warning.

If you’ve sensed that something is changing in people, this message will help you understand what is happening through the lens of Scripture and encourage you to remain rooted in genuine Christian love during difficult times.

 Scripture References:
Matthew 24:12
2 Timothy 3:1-4
John 13:35

      <description><![CDATA[Has government quietly become America’s new god?

We say “In God We Trust”… but do we actually live like we believe it?

In this thought-provoking message, Brother Carlton explores a difficult but important question: What happens when people stop trusting God? Do they stop trusting altogether—or simply transfer that trust to politicians, institutions, technology, and the modern state?

In this message, we discuss:

 Why people often replace God with man-made systems
 How excessive dependence on government can become dangerous
 The growing temptation to treat political leaders like saviors
 Why biblical faith calls us back to trusting God above all earthly power
 Historical, spiritual, and practical reasons to think more deeply about freedom, truth, and authority

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” — Psalm 20:7 (KJV)

 Whether you agree or disagree, this message is designed to make you think.

      <description><![CDATA[The Rhyme I Never Forgot… And Why It Still Haunts Me

Many years ago, a friend shared a simple rhyme with me…
At the time, it seemed small. Almost insignificant.

But over the years… it stayed with me.

And now I realize—
it carries a message most people overlook.

In this episode of the Brother Carlton Show, I share that unforgettable rhyme and the deeper lesson behind it—a lesson about life, purpose, and what truly matters.

 “A bell isn’t a bell until you ring it.
A song isn’t a song until you sing it.
And the love in your heart wasn’t meant to stay,
for love isn’t love until you give it away.”

Simple words…
But powerful truth.

 Are you holding back what God has given you?
 Are you using your life—or just letting it pass by?

This short message may challenge you to live differently starting today.

      <description><![CDATA[!I recently attended the Yucaipa Music Festival and had a great time connecting with friends while enjoying the atmosphere. But more importantly, we spent a couple of hours doing something simple—yet powerful: sharing the gospel.

I was with a couple of friends, and together we handed out approximately 60–80 gospel tracts and had meaningful conversations with several people, including teenagers. It was a reminder that while not everyone is called to stand on a corner and preach, any Christian can share their faith in simple, practical ways.

Sometimes it starts with something as easy as handing someone a tract… and being open to a conversation.

If you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith one-on-one, this is a great place to start.

      <description><![CDATA[Are we truly free… or just comfortable?

In this eye-opening message, Brother Carlton exposes the slow erosion of freedom in America—from surveillance and censorship to taxation, media control, and spiritual decline.

But this isn’t just about politics…

It’s about truth vs. deception,
courage vs. compliance,
and ultimately—obedience to God vs. submission to man.

You’ll hear:

Why freedom is slipping away (and most don’t see it)
How fear and propaganda shape public thinking
The hidden cost of “ownership” and endless taxation
Why churches have gone silent when truth is needed most
A biblical call to wake up before it’s too late

 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” — Proverbs 16:25 (KJV)

 The question is not just what is happening…
 The question is: What are YOU going to do about it?

      <title>My Profession of Faith at 15:  Was It Real?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[At 15 years old, I made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

I believed I was saved.

I believed everything was settled.

But as time went on… a question began to rise in my heart—was it real?

In this honest and searching episode, I share my early profession of faith and the doubts that followed. This is not just a story about my past—it is a challenge to examine your own soul.

Many people rest in a moment… a prayer… a decision… a baptism… or church involvement. But the Bible tells us to examine ourselves, whether we be truly in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).

Was there true repentance?
Was there real transformation?
Was Christ truly known… or only spoken about?

Jesus said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven…” (Matthew 7:21)

This message is a call to move beyond outward profession and come to genuine saving faith in Christ.

 Do not assume you are saved.
 Do not rest in religion.
 Make sure your faith is real.

Take a few moments and listen carefully… your eternity may depend on it.

      <description><![CDATA[One day… your story on this earth will end.

Your final breath will come. Your eyes will close. And in that moment, everything you once knew—your plans, your possessions, your relationships—will be left behind.

But your soul will continue.

In this sobering and deeply convicting message, Brother Carlton challenges you to consider the most important question you will ever face:

Where will you be when your eyelids close in death?

This is not a message about religion, tradition, or outward appearances. Many trust in church attendance, good works, or even water baptism—but none of these can save the soul.

The Bible declares, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27)

Are you ready to meet God?

Through powerful Scripture and heartfelt exhortation, this message calls you to examine your life, your conscience, and your standing before a holy God. It points you to the only hope for sinners—Jesus Christ, who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)

This is your wake-up call.

Do not delay. Do not assume you have more time. Eternity is closer than you think.

 Listen carefully.
 Reflect honestly.
 Respond while you still can.

      <description><![CDATA[How much time do you really have?

In this deeply thought-provoking episode of the Brother Carlton Show, I share three powerful poems that confront the reality most people try to avoid—life is short, eternity is real, and judgment is coming.

 Poem #1: “Before They Lay Me In a Box”
A sobering reminder that one day, your life will be over—and what you did with your time will matter more than anything else.

 Poem #2: “Lord, I Need You”
A heartfelt cry of dependence on God in a world filled with distractions, pride, and self-reliance.

 Poem #3: “Give Me A Book.”
A call to seek wisdom, truth, and transformation—because the books you read and the truths you embrace will shape your destiny.

This is more than poetry…
It’s a wake-up call.

Are you living with eternity in mind?
Are you prepared to meet your Maker?

The Bible says, “Prepare to meet thy God” (Amos 4:12, KJV)

 If this message speaks to you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.

      <description><![CDATA[Are you tired of complaining about your situation—but seeing no real change?

In this powerful and practical message, Brother Carlton challenges you to stop focusing on what’s wrong and start creating what’s possible. There are two kinds of people in this world: those who complain—and those who produce. Which one are you?

Drawing from real-life examples, biblical truth, and timeless wisdom, this message will help you:
• Shift your mindset from negativity to purpose
• Understand how your decisions shape your future
• Apply the principle of vision (Proverbs 29:18, KJV)
• Overcome fear and take action with faith
• Stop burying your talents and start using what God has given you

From Thomas Edison’s persistence to the parable of the talents, you’ll discover that success isn’t about perfect conditions—it’s about intentional action.

Jesus said in Mark 8:36 (KJV): “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
This message will challenge not only how you live—but why you live.

 If this message encouraged you, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with someone who needs it today.

      <description><![CDATA[Can a Person Have Good Manners… But Bad Morals?

Absolutely—and it’s a truth many people overlook.

In this eye-opening message, Brother Carlton dives deep into the difference between outward politeness and true inner character. You’ll discover why saying the right things, smiling, and appearing respectful doesn’t always reflect a heart that is right with God.

 Drawing from powerful Scriptures like:

1 Samuel 16:7 — “Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart”
Matthew 15:8 — “This people… honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me”
Matthew 23:27 — “Whited sepulchres… beautiful outward, but within full of dead men’s bones”

This message challenges you to examine your own life:

 Are your manners masking your morals?
 Are you living for appearances… or for God?
 Do your actions match your profession of faith?

This is more than a message—it’s a call to authenticity, repentance, and true transformation.

      <description><![CDATA[Everyone in the room was ready to let her go… but I couldn’t stay silent.
What happened next changed everything—and taught me when to speak… and when to remain silent.

What do you do when the moment comes… and everyone else is speaking but you know in your heart what must be said?

In this powerful and deeply personal story, I take you back to a hospital room in 1992… where a life-and-death decision had to be made about the woman who raised me—my great-grandmother.

Everyone had an opinion.

Everyone spoke.

But I remained silent… until the moment came.

And what I said changed everything.

This message is about more than a story—it’s about courage, conviction, and knowing when to speak and when to remain silent. It’s about finding your voice when it matters most.

 If you’ve ever struggled with speaking up…
 If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice matters…
 If you want to grow in wisdom, faith, and boldness…

This message is for you.

      <description><![CDATA[Greetings, friends—and welcome to The Brother Carlton Show.

Today’s message is a little different… not from a studio, but from a peaceful walk through the beautiful Royal Grande area near the Central Coast.

As I walk along the pathways, across bridges, and beside flowing water, I’m reminded of something simple—but powerful:

 God’s creation speaks.
 Peace is available—but we must slow down to receive it.

In a world filled with noise, stress, and constant distraction, moments like this remind us to pause… reflect… and reconnect with the One who created it all.

From the quiet rustling of leaves…
To the beauty of flowing water…
To the simple joy of walking and observing…

Everything around us points back to the goodness of God.

This video is not just a walk—it’s an invitation:

 Slow down
 Appreciate God’s creation
 Reflect on your life and purpose
 Ask yourself: What am I learning today that will help me better serve God?

 Take the Next Step

 Final Thought

Sometimes the greatest lessons in life don’t come from books or speeches…
They come from a quiet walk… and a listening heart.

      <description><![CDATA[Are you making decisions based on culture… or on the Word of God?

In this powerful message, Brother Carlton walks through practical wisdom from the Bible that speaks directly into real-life issues many Christians are facing today—work, laziness, government dependency, marriage, relationships, children, and spiritual discipline.

The Bible is not just a spiritual book—it is a complete guide for life. From Genesis to the New Testament, God gives clear instructions on how we are to live, work, love, and walk in truth.

In this video, you’ll discover:

Why work is a blessing—not a curse (Genesis 2:15)
What Scripture says about laziness and productivity
A biblical perspective on UBI and dependency culture
God’s design for marriage, purity, and relationships
The truth about children as a blessing from the Lord
How to discern God’s will through biblical principles

This is not surface-level Christianity—this is real, practical, biblical truth applied to everyday life.

If you’re serious about growing in your faith and aligning your life with God’s Word, this message is for you.

 “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” (Romans 3:4)

      <description><![CDATA[Are you truly serving God… or just going through the motions?

In this evening walk at sunset, I raise some honest—and uncomfortable—questions about faith, truth, politics, and the world we’re living in today.

Too many people claim Christ… but avoid the hard questions.

Let me ask you:

1.  Are you growing in your faith—or just staying busy and distracted?
2.  Are Christians meant to ignore politics… or speak truth into current events?
3.  Did the church fail during COVID by fearing government more than God?
4.  Are we setting “wicked things” before our eyes through media and entertainment?
5.  Is Jesus truly Lord over every area of your life?
6.  What is a true Jew according to Scripture?
7.  Is modern Zionism biblical—or misunderstood?
8.  Are Christians blindly following the left/right political system?
9.  Does the government have the right to tell you what to put into your body?
10.  Is it okay to drink alcohol… or use marijuana? What does Scripture actually teach?
11.  Can mainstream media really be trusted—or should we seek truth more carefully?
12.  Are we walking the narrow path… or drifting onto the broad road?
13.  If today were your last day… are you certain of your salvation?

As I walk a narrow path at sunset,  with even the frogs making noise in the background, it becomes a living picture of what Jesus said:

 “Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life…”

      <description><![CDATA[What giant are you facing today?

Fear, loss, financial pressure, uncertainty… we all face battles that feel bigger than us. But the story of David and Goliath teaches a powerful truth:

The difference is not the size of the giant… it’s the focus of your faith.

In this message, Brother Carlton breaks down:

Why David had courage when others were afraid
The difference between focusing on fear vs focusing on God
How faith gives you strength beyond your natural ability
Why many people struggle with doubt (even believers like Peter)
What it really means to trust God in difficult situations

You’ll also hear real-life encouragement and practical insight on facing:
 Loss of a loved one
 Financial struggles
 Personal battles and discouragement

 Key Scriptures:

Philippians 4:13
Proverbs 3:5–6
Romans 5:1
Hebrews 12

      <description><![CDATA[Why are some people prepared for difficult times while others are caught completely off guard?

In this episode, Brother Carlton shares ten practical things every person should consider having in place right now — not only for financial and physical preparedness, but also for spiritual readiness.

From living debt-free, developing valuable skills, and maintaining good health, to preparing for possible disruptions in the economy and supply chains, this message encourages viewers to think seriously about the future.

Two areas that are often overlooked are water security and sound money.

Clean water is absolutely essential to life. Experts often recommend keeping 100–200 gallons of water stored safely for emergencies, which can be done using 20–40 five-gallon containers. In times of natural disasters or infrastructure failures, having your own stored supply of water can make a tremendous difference.

Another important topic discussed is precious metals. For more than 5,000 years gold and silver have been used as money across civilizations. Many people choose to hold physical gold coins or pre-1965 U.S. silver coins outside the banking system as a way to preserve purchasing power during times of financial instability.

The message also explores practical preparation such as food storage, alternative transportation like e-bikes, and owning assets that produce income.

But above all, Brother Carlton reminds viewers of the most important preparation of all — a living relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that while earthly preparations may help us navigate difficult circumstances, eternal life comes only through faith in Christ.

"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."
— John 11:25 (KJV)

This message is about wisdom, foresight, and spiritual readiness in uncertain times.

      <description><![CDATA[Have you ever stopped and asked yourself why you are where you are in life right now?

Your mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual condition today did not happen by accident. It is often the result of choices, habits, philosophy, and spiritual direction developed over many years.

In this episode, Brother Carlton explores a powerful question many people avoid asking themselves:

Why am I where I am in life?

Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and lessons from thinkers like Jim Rohn, this message challenges listeners to reflect honestly on their decisions, their faith, and the direction their life is heading.

The Bible reminds us in Luke 12:48:

"For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required."

And in Romans 8:28 we are reminded that God can work even our failures for good when we love Him and follow His purpose.

This episode also explores:

• Why philosophy determines the direction of your life
• The importance of studying success, health, and wisdom
• How small habits shape your future
• What the Beatitudes teach about true happiness
• Why eternal life matters more than earthly success

If you are seeking wisdom, purpose, and spiritual clarity, this message will challenge you to pause, reflect, and realign your life with what matters most.

Brother Carlton is also the author of Digging For Spiritual Treasure: A Collection of Meditations From My Hollywood Apartment, available on Amazon.

Unlike many modern devotionals, this book offers:

• Deeper biblical reflection is rarely found in contemporary Christian writing
• Honest life lessons drawn from real experiences
• Thought-provoking meditations that encourage serious spiritual growth
• Wisdom connecting faith with everyday life decisions

Many readers say the book feels like sitting down for a thoughtful conversation about life, faith, and eternity.

      <description><![CDATA[When was the last time you stepped away from the noise of life and simply enjoyed the outdoors?

Most people don’t do this anymore… but it can change your entire day.

You might wonder what most people don’t do anymore. It’s something very simple — taking time to walk outside, breathe fresh air, and slow down long enough to think.

In this video, I take a short walk with a friend and reflect on something many people in our fast-paced world have forgotten: the value of stepping away from the noise, enjoying the outdoors, and giving our minds a chance to reset.

Sometimes the simplest activities — walking, talking, and enjoying nature — can refresh our perspective and remind us what really matters in life.

In a world filled with screens, stress, and constant distraction, sometimes the best thing we can do is take a simple walk, breathe fresh air, and reconnect with nature. In this video, I take a short hike with a friend and reflect on the importance of recreation, conversation, and taking time to refresh both the body and the mind.

You don’t need an expensive vacation or elaborate plans to experience joy. Sometimes a short walk on a familiar trail with a good friend can lift your spirits, clear your thoughts, and remind you of the beauty all around us.

The outdoors has a way of slowing us down and helping us think about what really matters in life.

I'd love to hear from you:

 What do you enjoy doing for recreation?
 How do you experience the outdoors best — hiking, walking, biking, fishing, or something else?

      <description><![CDATA[What truly determines the quality of your life?

Some personal development experts say it’s your habits, your communication skills, or the decisions you make. While those things certainly matter, the Bible reveals something even deeper.

In this message, Brother Carlton explores the powerful biblical truth that the ultimate factor shaping the quality of your life is your relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul understood this when he said:

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection.” — Philippians 3:10

A life connected to Christ produces something far greater than success or achievement. It produces love, joy, peace, purpose, and spiritual fruit that no circumstance can take away.

In this message you’ll discover:

• Why your relationship with Christ determines the direction and quality of your life
• The powerful meaning behind John 15:5 — “Without me ye can do nothing.”
• How abiding in Christ transforms your thinking, decisions, and actions
• What the Bible teaches about grace, stewardship, and spiritual fruit
• How you can begin experiencing deeper peace and purpose today

Jesus said:

“I am the vine, ye are the branches… he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit.” — John 15:5

When we abide in Christ, our lives begin to reflect the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, and self-control.

      <description><![CDATA[Do you remember the first thing that made you feel truly free as a child?

For me, it was a gold-colored bicycle with a white banana seat.

In this episode, I share a personal childhood story about adventure, determination, and the small experiences that quietly shape who we become. From racing down the “Flying Hills” with neighborhood boys to a late-night ride that ended with a police officer pulling me over, this story reminds us that even simple moments can teach powerful life lessons.

In this story, you’ll discover lessons about:

• Determination and perseverance
• Responsibility that comes with freedom
• Courage to try even when you’re not the strongest
• The joy found in simple childhood adventures

Sometimes the greatest lessons in life don’t come from classrooms—they come from scraped knees, daring adventures, and the freedom of being young.

If you enjoy thoughtful reflections on life, faith, and personal growth, I invite you to read some of my inspiring articles and poems on FaithWriters.

      <description><![CDATA[What does it really take to stand out in life?

In this episode of The Brother Carlton Show, Brother Carlton shares a powerful principle for success, discipline, and personal growth:

Be so good they can't ignore you.

Drawing from lessons taught by legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi, a memorable experience from Marine Corps boot camp, and timeless wisdom about determination and faith, this message reminds us that greatness is not built on shortcuts or flashy gimmicks.

It is built on mastering the fundamentals.

Brother Carlton explains how consistent effort, learning from mistakes, and focusing on the basics can transform ordinary effort into extraordinary results.

You’ll learn:

• Why mastering the fundamentals separates the good from the great
• How discipline and determination shape success
• Why effort often beats raw talent
• How mistakes can become powerful teachers
• Why excellence speaks louder than self-promotion

Greatness isn’t glamorous. It is often quiet, disciplined work done consistently over time.

As Brother Carlton says in this message:

“Master the basics… or the basics will master you.”

If you want to grow in faith, character, discipline, and purpose, this message will encourage you to keep improving and becoming the best version of yourself.

      <description><![CDATA[Lessons I Learned Reflecting on Family and Loss | The Brother Carlton Show

In this deeply personal episode, Brother Carlton reflects on childhood memories, family love, painful loss, and the lasting lessons shaped through tragedy and faith. From quiet moments in a backyard to heartbreaking experiences that left lifelong impressions, this message explores how grief, memory, and God's mercy shape who we become.

Loss is something every family eventually faces. Yet even in sorrow, Scripture reminds us that “His compassions fail not… they are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22–23 KJV)

This episode is not merely about loss — it is about hope, resilience, mentorship, redemption, and the sustaining faithfulness of God through life’s most difficult seasons.

If you have ever lost a loved one… struggled to understand suffering… or searched for meaning in painful memories, this message is for you.

      <description><![CDATA[From the sidewalks of Los Angeles to screens across the world — this is more than a name change. It’s a testimony.

In this powerful and personal episode, Brother Carlton shares the story behind his journey from LA Street Preacher to Brother Carlton — a journey marked by conviction, boldness, obedience, and growth.

In 2011, with nothing but a Bible in hand and fire in his heart, he stepped onto the streets of Hollywood and Santa Monica to proclaim the gospel openly. No pulpit. No microphone. No platform. Just Scripture — spoken with urgency to anyone who would listen.

The streets became his church.
The sidewalks became his stage.
The passersby became his congregation.

What began as open-air preaching soon expanded into a broader ministry — reaching thousands online. The message evolved from urgent warnings on street corners to in-depth biblical teaching, encouragement for believers, and clear explanations of Scripture designed to build up the body of Christ.

This video is about calling.
It’s about obedience.
It’s about growth.
And it’s about staying faithful to the mission — even when the method changes.

Whether you’ve followed since the LA Street Preacher days or you’re discovering this channel for the first time, this episode will challenge you to ask:

 What is God calling you to do?
 Are you using your voice boldly?
 Are you growing in your walk with Christ?

The mission remains the same:
To proclaim truth.
To strengthen believers.
To glorify God.

      <description><![CDATA[In a world flooded with influencers, commentators, and persuasive personalities, one crucial distinction often goes unnoticed: the difference between credibility and believability.

In this thought-provoking message, Brother Carlton explores why being credible is not the same as merely sounding believable—and why mastering both is essential if you want to truly influence others in business, ministry, leadership, or everyday life.

Credibility is built slowly through character, competence, consistency, and integrity. Believability, on the other hand, is shaped in the moment through clarity, connection, and communication. One is about the source. The other is about the delivery.

But what happens when someone is believable without being credible? And what happens when someone is credible but unable to communicate clearly?

In an age of viral videos and polished personalities, this distinction has never been more important. Learn how to strengthen your authority without becoming cold or distant—and how to communicate powerfully without crossing into manipulation.

If you desire to lead with integrity, persuade ethically, and build lasting trust, this message will challenge and sharpen you.

Are you building a life that makes you credible?
Are you communicating in a way that makes you believable?

Master both—and your influence will stand the test of time.

      <description><![CDATA[Life is shorter than we think.

One moment we are young and dreaming. The next, the years have slipped quietly through our fingers. Scripture does not flatter us — it tells us plainly: our days are seventy years… maybe eighty by strength… and then we fly away (Psalm 90:10). James goes even further — our life is but a vapor, a mist that appears briefly and vanishes (James 4:14).

So what are we doing with our vapor?

In this sobering and deeply practical message, “The Brevity of Life: Living With Eternity In View,” we explore what it truly means to live as pilgrims and strangers in this world. This life is not our final destination. We are passing through. The question is — are we living like it?

Drawing from Psalm 90, James 4, 1 Peter 2, and Colossians 3, this episode will challenge you to:

• Re-evaluate your priorities
• Redeem the time you’ve been given
• Set your affections on eternal things
• Live ready for Christ’s return

Most people live as though tomorrow is guaranteed. The Bible says otherwise. If today were your last, would you be ready? Would you have regrets? Would you have lived differently?

This is not a message of fear — it is a message of focus. When we live with eternity in view, everything changes. Our values change. Our urgency changes. Our purpose becomes clear.

Let this message awaken you, steady you, and remind you: your life is brief… but what you do with it echoes forever.

      <description><![CDATA[What is your life really promoting?

In this stirring message, Brother Carlton takes us from the battlefield of David and Goliath to the quiet battles of everyday life—where motives are tested and hearts are revealed. David didn’t face the giant for fame. He stood so “that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel” (1 Samuel 17:46). That was his mission. Not personal glory—but God’s.

Today, we live in a culture obsessed with platforms, followers, applause, and self-promotion. But Scripture reminds us that we were redeemed for a higher purpose: “Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Corinthians 6:20).

Through Scripture, hymn lyrics from his Baptist upbringing, and heartfelt exhortation, Brother Carlton challenges believers to examine their habits, their media consumption, their conversations, and their daily labor. Are we lifting Christ high—or subtly promoting ourselves? Are our eyes and minds filled with what honors God—or what dims His glory?

This message is both a wake-up call and a warm invitation:

• To build altars, not platforms.
• To preach Christ, not ourselves.
• To live so transparently that others see Jesus through us.

Whether you are building a business, raising children, preaching sermons, or simply living quietly before God—your labor matters. Even the unseen faithfulness shines before heaven’s throne.

If you desire a life that counts for eternity, this message will both challenge and encourage you.

Let us labor—not for applause—but for the glory of God.

Amen.

      <description><![CDATA[What if the biggest mess in your life isn’t in your garage… but in your mind?

In this episode, Brother Carlton shares lessons from his years in the junk removal business — hauling everything from broken treadmills to Malibu party debris — and reveals a deeper truth: the most dangerous clutter isn’t physical. It’s mental and spiritual.

From his little red Datsun pickup truck to working for celebrities in Hollywood, Carlton discovered something powerful — people accumulate more than furniture. They accumulate bitterness, regrets, negative words spoken over them, and unresolved conflict with God.

You’ll hear:

The “Acres of Diamonds” lesson that launched his business

Why mental clutter destroys peace

How negativity becomes generational baggage

Why success doesn’t eliminate inner chaos

And how true freedom begins with peace with God

This isn’t just about cleaning out your garage.
It’s about clearing your heart, calming your mind, and living unburdened.

If you’re ready to let go of what’s weighing you down — this episode is for you.

      <description><![CDATA[What does the Bible mean when it says, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV)?

In this Bible study, Brother Carlton walks through the meaning of self-examination according to Scripture. Many assume they are right with God, but the Bible commands believers to test themselves — to examine their faith, their relationship with Jesus Christ, and their eternal standing.

This message explores:

• The biblical meaning of “examine yourself”
• Paul’s warning in 2 Corinthians 13:5
• The transformation of Saul in Acts 9
• How to know if your faith is genuine
• What the Bible says about judgment and eternity

If you have searched for:

Examine yourself bible meaning

2 Corinthians 13:5 explained

How to know if you are saved

How to examine your faith

This study will help you understand what Scripture teaches.

The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27 that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Before eternity arrives, examine your heart. Test your faith. Seek the Lord while He may be found.

      <title>Sanctified Dissatisfaction – &quot;Why Holy Hunger Is a Sign of Growth&quot;</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Have you ever felt like you’re doing well spiritually… but deep down you know there’s more?

You might be backslidden.
You might be awakening.
But God is calling you forward.

In this powerful episode, Brother Carlton explores what he calls sanctified dissatisfaction — that holy inner stirring that says, “I haven’t arrived, but I refuse to stay where I am.”

Through Philippians 3, Psalm 42, and powerful warnings from Revelation, we discover why even the Apostle Paul refused to coast spiritually. If Paul kept pressing forward, what does that mean for us?

Brother Carlton also shares a deeply personal turning point from his Hollywood years — when outward success couldn’t quiet an inner spiritual hunger. That holy dissatisfaction became the spark that reignited his walk with Christ.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why spiritual hunger is a gift, not a weakness
• The danger of false confidence and lukewarm faith
• How to recognize when God is stirring you for “more.”
• Why pressing forward is proof of spiritual life

If you’ve been feeling restless in your faith, this episode may be the confirmation you’ve been praying for.

Don’t settle.
Don’t coast.
Keep pressing toward the mark.

Subscribe, share with someone who’s spiritually hungry, and join a community that refuses to drift.

      <description><![CDATA[What if the direction of your life isn’t shaped by one big decision—but by the small habits you practice every day?

In this episode, Habits That Help Teens Boost Grades, Build Friendships, and Earn More, Brother Carlton shares ten simple, proven habits drawn from real life—not theory. From growing up without a father, being raised by his great-grandmother, time spent in foster care and juvenile hall, to building confidence, discipline, and purpose through small daily choices, this message speaks directly to teens who feel overlooked, distracted, or uncertain about their future.

You’ll learn:

*why quiet focus in the morning sharpens grades and decision-making

*how respect and discipline quietly open doors with teachers, coaches, and employers

*why the friends you choose shape who you become

*how reading, journaling, and delayed gratification build confidence and clarity

*why earning money early builds mindset—not just income

and how faith provides stability when life feels uncertain

This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress.
Small habits. Daily faithfulness. Lifelong results.

If you’re a teen who wants a better future—or a parent or mentor guiding one—this message will challenge, encourage, and equip you to start where you are.

      <description><![CDATA[What if real success isn’t about self-promotion—but about service, humility, and obedience to God?

In this episode of The Brother Carlton Show, I read and reflect on an essay exploring why every person needs a philosophy of life grounded in faith, service, and biblical truth. We examine the idea that lasting success comes not from autonomy or humanistic thinking, but from recognizing God as the source, sustainer, and ultimate authority over all things.

Drawing from Scripture, personal reflection, and timeless wisdom, this message challenges the belief that we can live independently from our Creator. It calls listeners to reconsider success, relationships, purpose, and eternity through the lens of Christ—His life, His sacrifice, and His resurrection.

This episode is for those who are tired of shallow motivation and are searching for meaning that lasts beyond career, status, or personal gain. If you desire a life shaped by faith, service, and eternal perspective, this message is for you.

      <description><![CDATA[Are you truly happy with who you are—and who you’ve become?

In this episode, we ask a deeply personal and eternal question by looking at life through a biblical lens: the seed, the soil, and the sower. Just like a farmer’s harvest depends on what is planted, where it’s planted, and who is doing the planting, your spiritual life today is the result of past choices, habits, and ways of thinking.

Drawing from Scripture and the parable of the sower, this message challenges you to examine your heart honestly. Is the Word of God bearing fruit in your life, or has it been choked out by the cares of the world, distractions, or unrepentant sin? Are you truly in Christ—or merely deceiving yourself?

The good news is this: change is possible. Today is the day of salvation. True faith, repentance, and transformation are gifts from God—and He delights to give them to those who seek Him.

This episode is a call to self-examination, repentance, and renewed hope rooted in Christ alone.

Call to Action

If this message challenged or encouraged you, take a moment to reflect, pray, and respond. Subscribe to the podcast, leave a thoughtful review, and share this episode with someone who needs clarity, truth, and hope. Most importantly, don’t delay—seek the Lord while He may be found.

      <description><![CDATA[Time is the one resource we can never earn back, yet it’s the one we give away most carelessly.

In this episode, we expose the silent thief of time—the distractions, habits, and subtle compromises that slowly drain our days, dull our purpose, and weaken our walk with God. This is not about hustle culture or busyness for its own sake. It’s about clarity, conviction, and stewardship.

You’ll discover:
• Why time is more valuable than money
• How distractions quietly shape our destiny
• The spiritual cost of procrastination and drifting
• Why intentional living is an act of faith
• Practical ways to reclaim focus in a noisy world

Scripture reminds us to redeem the time, because the days are evil. In an age of endless scrolling, constant noise, and spiritual drift, this message is a wake-up call to live deliberately, think clearly, and walk wisely.

If you’ve ever felt like the days are slipping by faster than you can grasp them—this message is for you.

      <description><![CDATA[What begins with a few glossy photographs on a friend’s kitchen table becomes a thirteen-week descent into heat, hunger, discipline, fear—and unexpected transformation.

In this deeply personal and unflinching account, I take you inside Marine Corps boot camp in the mid-1970s, where individuality is stripped away in seconds, faith is tested under pressure, and endurance is forged through sand pits, forced marches, gas chambers, rifle ranges, and relentless drill instructors who seem determined to break you. From the shock of arrival at MCRD San Diego to the quiet refuge of Sunday chapel… from dehydration and humiliation to ten bullseyes at 500 meters… from letters hurled across the squad bay to crawling beneath barbed wire as explosions light the night sky—this is not a romanticized war story.

It’s a coming-of-age story about discipline, fear, peer pressure, faith under fire, and discovering strength you didn’t know you had.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever been tested, doubted, mocked, exhausted, or pushed beyond their perceived limits—and came out changed. Whether you’re drawn to military history, personal resilience, spiritual endurance, or raw, lived experience, this story reminds us that sometimes we are broken down not to destroy us, but to build us into something stronger than we imagined possible.

      <description><![CDATA[There are places where words feel unnecessary, and this place is one of them.

In this quiet reflection, I share how standing among towering mountains, ancient trees, and God’s magnificent creation naturally turns the heart toward gratitude, humility, and worship. Creation doesn’t shout, yet it speaks volumes.

Sometimes nature preaches better than people ever could.

If you’re searching for stillness, perspective, or a reminder of God’s handiwork in a noisy world, this moment in Yosemite is for you.

Each message invites you to slow down, think carefully, and examine your faith in the light of God’s Word. These reflections challenge popular assumptions, expose subtle errors, and encourage discernment—without sensationalism or compromise.

If you desire a devotional that strengthens conviction, sharpens spiritual understanding, and nurtures a quiet, steady walk with Christ, this message is for you. Digging for Spiritual Treasure speaks especially to believers who want substance amid the confusion found in much of today’s online content and even within local churches.

What this devotional offers you

• Deeper understanding of Scripture without theological fluff
• Encouragement rooted in truth, not emotion or hype
• Spiritual clarity in a time of widespread doctrinal confusion
• Reflection that strengthens faith for everyday life
• A calm, thoughtful voice that points consistently to Christ

For those who want more than soundbites, the book Digging for Spiritual Treasure: A Collection of Meditations from My Hollywood Apartment expands on these themes, offering carefully written devotions designed for quiet reading, meditation, and spiritual growth. It is a companion for believers who value biblical depth, discernment, and a faith that endures.

      <description><![CDATA[NOTE:  This is an audio-focused message. Please focus on the words and message rather than visuals.

In a world marked by confusion, noise, and moral darkness, God’s people are called to live differently. Walking in His Light: Becoming Beacons in a Darkened World is a timely and hope-filled message that reminds believers that light does not need to shout to make an impact—it simply needs to shine.

Drawing from Scripture, everyday life, and timeless Christian truth, this message encourages readers to walk closely with Christ, reflect His character, and influence the world through obedience, love, and quiet faithfulness. Just as light brings clarity, warmth, and life, so our lives—when surrendered to God—can guide others out of darkness and toward truth.

This message is for anyone who longs to live with purpose, stand firm without bitterness, and shine for Christ in an increasingly broken world.

      <description><![CDATA[Most teenagers don’t lose their future in one big mistake.
They drift off course through small daily choices they barely notice.

In this audio message, I share my real story—growing up without a father, being raised by my great-grandmother in a tiny house, living in a children’s shelter, and even spending a night in juvenile hall after a heated moment during a chess game. I wasn’t planning my future. I was just trying to survive.

What changed my life wasn’t luck or talent.
It was small habits practiced daily.

In this audio, you’ll hear 10 simple habits that can help you:

 Improve your grades

 Build stronger friendships

 Start earning money early

 Develop discipline and confidence

 Find peace, purpose, and direction through faith

These habits don’t require popularity, money, or special ability.
They only require a willing heart and consistent choices.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your future—listen closely. One habit you hear today could change the direction of your life.

 Listen all the way through—especially the final habit, which brings everything together and gives you a foundation that lasts when life gets hard.

      <description><![CDATA[Greetings, friends and supporters of the channel.
Let me ask you a serious question: what are you learning today that will help you better serve God?

We’re a little over a week into the new year, and this video presents a heartfelt challenge—especially to Christians—to examine our habits, discipline, and thought patterns. Faith does not grow in a vacuum. Growth requires reading, meditation, and discernment.

Yes, the Bible must always be central. Scripture is God-breathed, authoritative, and sufficient for salvation and godly living. But Christians are not called to ignorance of history, economics, politics, or the ideas shaping the world around us. God gives knowledge—even to unbelievers—and wise Christians learn how to discern truth from error.

In this video, I talk about:

Why reading only the Bible (without discernment) can still lead to shallow faith

Why re-reading good books often produces more fruit than constantly chasing new ones

The danger of theological ignorance in modern churches

Scripture memory, meditation, and spiritual discipline

Why “precept upon precept” is still God’s method for growth

And why ignorance—especially willful ignorance—is spiritually dangerous

We are commanded to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. That includes how we think. That includes what we read. That includes what we meditate on.

If you want stronger faith, sharper discernment, and a mind saturated with truth, this message is for you.

If this video challenges or encourages you, please share it, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe to the channel. Let’s grow together—by the Word of God and by wisdom rightly applied.]]></description>

      <title>&quot;Worship or Delusion? The Shocking Truth About Modern Christianity&quot;</title>

      <description><![CDATA[In this long-form, unscripted reflection, I speak candidly and thoughtfully on several interconnected concerns facing the church and the world today.

The central focus of this video is true versus false worship—drawing from Scripture (especially John 4:24), the writings of A.W. Pink, and the biblical teaching that only those who have been born again can truly worship God in spirit and in truth.

Along the way, I also reflect on:
• Religious deception and apostasy in modern Christianity
• Why religion without regeneration leads to false worship
• How Satan uses religion as a tool of deception
• The holiness of God versus entertainment-driven worship
• Cultural, economic, and prophetic observations related to our times
• Signs of spiritual decline and watchfulness for Christ’s return

This video is intentionally conversational and reflective, meant to mirror how real thinking often happens—connecting theology, Scripture, current events, and personal observation.

If you’re looking for serious biblical teaching, honest reflection, and a faith-centered examination of worship, truth, and deception in our age, I invite you to listen patiently and prayerfully.

 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24 (KJV)

      <description><![CDATA[What if the books you read in 2025 could help you think clearer, earn more, communicate better, and avoid costly mistakes?

In this video, I reveal my 2025 reading plan — a carefully chosen list of books focused on business growth, mindset, leadership, communication, and real-world success. These aren’t random picks. They’re books that have influenced entrepreneurs, leaders, and high performers for decades.

You’ll discover insights from thinkers like Jim Rohn, Jay Abraham, Brian Tracy, Sean Covey, Josh Shipp, and others — authors who focus on practical results, not hype.

If you want to:

Sharpen your thinking

improve decision-making

grow in business or leadership

build discipline through better reading habits

then this video will give you a clear roadmap of what to read — and why it matters.

Watch now and see how a focused reading plan can quietly but powerfully change the direction of your year.

      <description><![CDATA[In a world filled with shallow entertainment, it’s refreshing to return to films that carry depth, meaning, and eternal themes.

In this video, I share three timeless films I personally recommend watching during the Christmas season—especially for Christians and anyone searching for stories about faith, redemption, sacrifice, and hope.

These are not fast, flashy movies. They are epic, thoughtful films that reward patience and reflection:

Films that shaped generations

Films with powerful moral and biblical themes

Films worth watching with family during December

If you’re tired of modern movies that entertain but leave you empty, these classics may surprise you.

Let me know in the comments:
 Which one have you seen?
 Which one will you watch this Christmas?

      <title>Is Eternal Torment In Hell Biblical?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[What if the Bible does not teach endless conscious torment—but destruction?

NOTE: Material fire can only act upon material substance.  Therefore, literal, physical fire can not directly harm what is immaterial (a soul or spirit). This is simply true by definition, but God is teaching that God, who is a consuming fire, can destroy both the body, material substance, and the soul or spirit, immaterial substance

Hebrews 10:39 contrasts “them who believe to the saving of the soul” with those who draw back to “perdition.”
The Greek word translated perdition is apoleia (ἀπώλεια)—a term that consistently means destruction, ruin, or loss, not unending life in torment.

Throughout Scripture, apoleia is set in direct contrast to life, salvation, and immortality. This raises a crucial question:
If eternal life is a gift given only to believers, what is the final end of the wicked?

This is not an attempt to soften judgment or deny accountability—but to ask an honest, biblical question: Does the Bible teach eternal torment, or final destruction?

I encourage you to listen carefully, search the Scriptures for yourself, and consider whether annihilation better reflects both God’s justice and God’s mercy.

 Like, share, and subscribe for thoughtful, Scripture-centered discussion.

      <description><![CDATA[Why does an all-powerful and loving God allow suffering, pain, and evil? In today’s message, we dive deep into this timeless question using Scripture, real-life examples, and personal stories—from physical pain like my kidney stone experience, to emotional pain from heartbreak, and the deep grief of losing my great-grandmother who raised me.

The Bible gives us powerful answers, and through these truths we can learn to see God’s purpose, His love, and His direction even in life’s darkest moments. My prayer is that this message strengthens your faith and reminds you that no suffering is wasted in God’s hands.

      <description><![CDATA[In this powerful teaching, Brother Carlton breaks down the one habit that separates people who succeed from those who fail — a timeless principle taken from Albert E. N. Gray’s classic “The Common Denominator of Success.”

Whether you’re in sales, business, ministry, or personal growth, this message will open your eyes to how habits, discipline, and faith shape your destiny. Through examples from Joshua and Caleb, the Apostle Paul, and insights from Brian Tracy and Earl Nightingale, you’ll discover why success requires doing the things most people don’t like to do — and why faith transforms your mindset.

If you’ve struggled with motivation, procrastination, or negative thinking, this message will help you rise higher in Christ and live with purpose, confidence, and biblical courage.

      <description><![CDATA[Welcome, everyone! In today’s video, we dive deep into one of the most discussed topics in Christian theology: Calvinism versus Arminianism. I’ll be walking you through the five points of TULIP—Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints—using the King James Bible as our guide.

Whether you're firmly Reformed, curious about what the Bible says, or you lean toward the Arminian perspective, this video is designed to help you understand these doctrines straight from Scripture. Stick around, and let’s explore the Word together. If you find this helpful, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more biblical discussions.

      <description><![CDATA[In this powerful devotional message based on Proverbs 24:33–34 and Charles Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening (November 24), Brother Carlton delivers a heartfelt warning against the quiet, subtle danger of wasted time.

“A little sleep, a little slumber…” — it doesn’t take much for our spiritual lives to drift. Spurgeon reminds us that eternal poverty overtakes the soul that procrastinates repentance, devotion, and obedience.

In this video, I reflect on my own struggles with time-wasters — online chess, scrolling through shorts, entertainment, and everyday distractions. We all have “little slumbers” that rob us of prayer, Bible reading, gratitude, stewardship, and the mission Christ gave us.

With Thanksgiving approaching, this is a call to examine our hearts, number our days, redeem the time, and seek the Lord with renewed urgency.

If this message blesses you, give a thumbs up, share it, and subscribe for more devotionals and Christ-centered encouragement.
May the Lord help us use every moment for His glory.

      <title>&quot;Driving Through Oak Glen — Plus One Question for Your Faith”</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Come ride with me through Oak Glen as we ask a question most people never slow down long enough to think about: If God spoke to you today… would you even notice?

As I drive through the mountains, I talk about the fires that swept through this area a few years ago and the mudslides that followed — including the spots where mud came right up to the K-rails and even trapped a truck. It’s a reminder of how quickly life can change, and how important it is to stay alert to what God is teaching us.

During the drive, I also mention Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners — not a biography, but John Bunyan’s own autobiography. If you’ve never read it, I encourage you to. Bunyan shares honestly about his sinful life of cursing and rebellion before Christ saved him. His story is raw, powerful, and shows how deeply the Lord can transform someone who thinks they’re too far gone.

You’ll also hear a little about farmers' markets, memories from past visits, a quick homemade salsa recipe, and how I use these recordings for both video and podcast to reach more people with God’s truth.

If this is your first time here, hit subscribe and tap the bell for more real-life faith talks, Bible encouragement, and spiritual challenges to help you grow closer to the Lord.

NOTE:  I forgot to add lemon to the salsa recipe.  

God bless you — keep your heart open to His voice today.

      <description><![CDATA[In this powerful message from John Chapter 8, Brother Carlton reads directly from Scripture and reflects deeply on the words of Jesus:

“Before Abraham was, I AM.”

This video combines the timeless insights of A.W. Pink’s Exposition of the Gospel of John with Brother Carlton’s heartfelt exhortation and commentary. Together, they call believers and seekers alike to examine whether they have been merely reformed outwardly—or truly transformed inwardly by the Spirit of God.

Through this passage, we see that religion without regeneration is empty, and that Christ alone—the Light of the World—sets the soul free.

 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32

 About this message:
This presentation blends public-domain readings from A.W. Pink’s commentary with personal exhortations from Brother Carlton to encourage sincere study of God’s Word and living faith in Christ.

      <description><![CDATA[Join Brother Carlton as he takes a walk through the Victor Valley Mall in Victorville, California, to see what’s showing on the big screen.

      <description><![CDATA[Join me for an evening walk as I reflect on the beauty of God’s creation—the glowing sunset, the waxing moon, and the timeless truth of Psalm 19: “The heavens declare the glory of God.”

In this video, I share heartfelt memories from my childhood under the night sky, speak on the importance of slowing down to appreciate the Lord’s handiwork, and expose the rising deception in modern Christianity—especially the false apostles and the New Apostolic Reformation movement that distorts the meaning of “Ecclesia.”

I also touch on:

The difference between true faith and false revival

Why today’s “mega ministries” often miss the message of repentance and holiness

The coming one-world system foretold in Scripture

How we as believers must redeem the time, love our neighbors, and remain faithful in these last days

Stay until the end for a few thoughts on today’s stock market trends, gold and silver prices, and a reminder that our ultimate hope isn’t in this world’s economy—but in Christ’s soon return.

Let’s spread truth, light, and discernment in an age of deception.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video, Brother Carlton explores what the late evangelist Dr. John R. Rice taught about the modern state of Israel. Many churches today support Israel politically and spiritually — but is this alignment truly biblical? Drawing from John R. Rice’s own writings, this message examines the difference between Zionism and Christianity, highlighting his warning that modern Zionism is not the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Discover why Rice believed true restoration will only come through faith in Jesus Christ, not through political or military power.

      <title>&quot;The Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen&quot; Luke 20:9-19: A Warning to the Jewish and Gentile Church</title>

      <description><![CDATA[The Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen, as explained by J.C. Ryle, is a powerful story that Jesus told to illustrate the responsibility and eventual accountability of those who were entrusted with God's "vineyard." In the immediate historical context, the parable was directed at the Jewish leaders of Jesus's day, highlighting how they had mismanaged their spiritual privileges and rejected the prophets—and ultimately, the Son himself.

Over the past two millennia, this parable has also served as a sobering reminder to Gentile churches and all Christian communities that they, too, are stewards of God's message. The parable invites believers of every era to reflect on how faithfully they are tending the "vineyard" of their own spiritual responsibilities and how they are responding to God's call. In essence, it's a timeless lesson about faithful stewardship and the consequences of rejecting the grace we've been given.

      <title>Jesus Asks Some Jews: &quot;The Baptism of John Was It From Heaven or of Men?&quot;  Luke 20:1-8</title>

      <description><![CDATA[In Luke 20:1-8, you get this moment where Jesus is teaching in the temple, and some of the Jewish religious leaders come up and basically challenge him. They ask, "Hey, by what authority are you doing all these things?" They want to know who gave him the right to teach and act as he does.

And Jesus, in his usual style, turns the question around. He says, "I’ll also ask you a question. Tell me, was the baptism of John from heaven, or was it of human origin?" In other words, he makes them grapple with their own beliefs about authority before he answers them. It's a neat little exchange that really highlights how Jesus often engaged people by making them think a bit deeper.

      <description><![CDATA[In times like these, it's crucial to remember that 'the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.' That means when we face disagreements, no matter how intense, we have to stay rational and self-controlled. One of the fruits of the Spirit is indeed self-control, and that should guide how we engage in public debate. We can have passionate, even tough conversations, but there's never a reason to turn to violence. Just like those classic debates on 'Firing Line' with William F. Buckley, we can disagree strongly and still respect each other's humanity. Let's model that kind of peaceful, thoughtful dialogue and remember that violence never leads to true righteousness, even in the wake of a sorrowful event like what happened to Charlie Kirk.

      <description><![CDATA[Video Summary – “Freedom of Speech Limits”

In Freedom of Speech Limits, you explore the delicate balance between protecting free expression and recognizing that not all speech is without consequences. The video touches on both historical and modern examples—referencing thinkers like John Milton and cases involving public figures such as Jimmy Kimmel. You point out how even major networks like ABC have drawn the line on certain content, highlighting that cultural, legal, and corporate forces all shape what is considered "acceptable" speech today.

You emphasize the ongoing tension: while freedom of speech is a bedrock of democratic society, it is not without boundaries—especially when speech becomes offensive, harmful, or incites division. The video invites viewers to reflect on how society should define those limits and who gets to decide where the line is drawn.

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks for watching!
We shared a blessed time of fellowship and conversation on various faith-related topics with a brother named Joseph.
 The hymn “By the Wonders of Thy Grace” begins at around 3 minutes.
I encourage you to enjoy the fellowship first, then stay for the hymn.
If this video brings you joy, please like, share, and subscribe. God bless! 

 Description 

In this video, I share a blessed time of fellowship with a brother in Christ. We enjoyed good food, rich conversation, and encouragement in the Lord. Along the way I mentioned topics like hell, Calvinism vs. Arminianism, eschatology, and the state of the modern church.

The highlight is an original hymn I wrote over 30 years ago, “By the Wonders of Thy Grace,” which I sing a cappella toward the end. May it encourage and uplift your spirit.

 Hymn begins at the 3-minute mark.   NOTE:  At about the 2-minute mark, I mention a few Christians, Pastor Henry Mahan and Evangelist Rolfe Barnard.  The "CC" or closed captions misspelled these names just in case you wanted to look them up for viewing.

My hymn lyrics read "flawless" never let me be which should have said "lawless never let me be."

If this video encouraged you, please like, comment, and subscribe for more.

      <description><![CDATA[In this startling footage from Yucaipa, we capture the aftermath of a sudden windstorm that swept through the area with gusts reaching up to what seemed like 50 miles per hour and possibly higher. 
"Southwest Monsoon" can occasionally extend its influene into the Inland Empire and Southern California but it's not the norm like in some parts of the Southwest.
Watch as a towering oak tree, rooted for decades, is no match for the storm's force. The fallen giant serves as a stark reminder of nature's power and the sudden chaos these high winds can unleash."

      <title>&quot;Rethinking Retirement:  What the Bible and Church History Teach Us About Work&quot;</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Have you ever stopped to ask: Should Christians really retire? In modern America, retirement often means stepping away from meaningful work to pursue leisure and comfort. But when we look at the Bible and church history, we see a very different picture.

The Apostle Paul worked and preached until the day he was martyred. Peter left his fishing business to become a fisher of men. Reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Knox ministered faithfully until their final breath. Even great preachers like Charles Spurgeon poured themselves out in service until their health gave way.

God’s Word consistently points us toward diligence, service, and living out our calling for as long as He gives us breath. Retirement, as our culture defines it, is not found in Scripture. Instead, we are called to a life of purpose, faithfulness, and laboring for the Kingdom—whether through ministry, discipleship, or acts of service.

So, what are you doing with the years God has given you? Are you living for leisure—or for eternal impact?

Scriptures Mentioned

“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” — 2 Thessalonians 3:10 (KJV)

“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.” — Proverbs 6:6–8 (KJV)

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.” — Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV)

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” — Matthew 25:40 (KJV)

      <description><![CDATA[In this video Brother Carlton reads some vital thoughts from the late L. R. Shelton Jr.  in his booklet "The Warnings of God" and some words of encouragement concerning our salvation are also discussed as well as the doctrine of Eternal Security.  Can a person who is saved lose their salvation?  Let's examine the subject in light of the Bible.

"Assurance is like the ring that fits on the finger of faith; just as the finger may exist without the ring so  faith may exist without assurance." Puritan Quote

      <description><![CDATA[In this adventure, I took a refreshing hike around the Hollywood Hills, capturing some of the iconic views that make this area so special. I zoomed in on the Hollywood Sign and the Griffith Observatory, along with some of those stunning hillside homes and even a bit of downtown Los Angeles in the distance. I also had the chance to meet an incredible 89-year-old Korean Christian man walking barefoot on the trail, though I had a little technical hiccup and couldn’t get him on camera. Despite that, it was a wonderful journey of exploring, filming, and embracing a healthy lifestyle in one of LA’s most iconic spots!

      <description><![CDATA[Hymn: It Is Well with My Soul
Author (lyrics): Horatio G. Spafford
Composer (music): Philip P. Bliss
    Date written: 1873 (lyrics), 1876 (music)

 Brief History:

Horatio Spafford was a successful lawyer and devout Christian in Chicago. In 1871, he lost much of his business in the Great Chicago Fire. Two years later, he planned a trip to Europe for his family, but delayed due to business. His wife and four daughters sailed ahead. Tragically, the ship sank, and all four daughters drowned. Only his wife survived and sent him a telegram: “Saved alone.”

While crossing the Atlantic to meet her, Spafford passed near the spot where his daughters had died. There, he wrote the powerful words to It Is Well with My Soul, expressing his deep trust in God despite immense sorrow. Philip Bliss later composed the melody, naming it “Ville du Havre” after the ship that sank.

 Lyrics – It Is Well with My Soul
1. When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

2. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

3. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

5. But Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

6. And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
A song in the night, oh my soul!

It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

      <description><![CDATA[Hymn: What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven
Date: Written in 1855, published in 1868
   Composer (music): Charles C. Converse

 Brief History:

Joseph Scriven, an Irish-born Christian, wrote What a Friend We Have in Jesus as a poem to comfort his mother who was ill back in Ireland while he was living in Canada. He had already endured great personal tragedy—his fiancée drowned the night before their wedding. Later, Scriven devoted his life to helping others, living simply and sharing his faith. The poem was never meant for wide circulation, but a friend found it and it was eventually set to music by Charles Converse in 1868. It became one of the most beloved hymns in Christian history, treasured for its message of friendship with Jesus through trials and prayer.
 Lyrics – What a Friend We Have in Jesus

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!

2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge--
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

      <description><![CDATA[Hymn Title:

The Church’s One Foundation
 Author:

Samuel John Stone (1839–1900)
Written in 1866 as part of a collection called Lyra Fidelium: Twelve Hymns on the Twelve Articles of the Apostles’ Creed.
 Composer of the Tune:

Samuel Sebastian Wesley (grandson of Charles Wesley) composed the most well-known tune: “Aurelia.”
 Brief Summary:

"The Church's One Foundation" was written during a time of division within the Church of England. Samuel J. Stone wrote it as a response to a theological controversy involving Bishop John Colenso of Natal, who questioned the historical truth of parts of the Bible.

The hymn is a declaration of the Church’s unity in Christ, despite visible divisions, persecution, or heresy. It emphasizes that Jesus is the sole foundation of the true Church, which is made up of all who are born of His Spirit, washed in His blood, and kept by His love.

It also speaks of the Church’s sufferings, spiritual warfare, and ultimate triumph in eternity. The hymn calls believers to remain faithful and hopeful despite trials, because Christ remains the unshakable foundation.
 Lyrics (Full Version):

The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word:
From heav'n He came and sought her
To be His holy Bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.

Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.

Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed:
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.

'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till, with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blessed,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.

Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.

      <description><![CDATA[Author:

Robert Robinson (1735–1790)
He wrote this hymn in 1758 at the age of 22.
 Brief History:

Robert Robinson was a troubled and rebellious young man in his early years. Orphaned at a young age, he fell into bad company in London and lived wildly. But everything changed in 1755 when he attended a sermon by the famous preacher George Whitefield. Deeply moved, Robinson began to study Scripture seriously and eventually became a Methodist preacher, later associating with Baptists.

At age 22, he wrote “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” as a reflection of God's grace, mercy, and redemptive power—especially for someone who had strayed as far as he had. The line:

    “Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God”

is a personal admission of how God reached him even while he was lost.
 Melody:

The hymn is most commonly sung to the American folk tune “Nettleton,” which was arranged by John Wyeth in 1813. This pairing helped the hymn become a beloved classic in both American and British churches.
 Notable Themes:

    Grace that saves and keeps

    Human tendency to wander

    God's pursuit of the lost

    Thankful remembrance ("Here I raise my Ebenezer")

 A Final Note of Interest:

Later in life, Robinson reportedly struggled with doubts and wandered spiritually. A famous but possibly apocryphal story says that a woman once quoted his own hymn to him, not knowing he wrote it. He responded with tears, saying:

    “Madam, I am the poor unhappy man who wrote that hymn many years ago, and I would give a thousand worlds if I had them to enjoy the feelings I had then.”

      <description><![CDATA[Subtitle:

You can believe in doctrine, quote Scripture, attend church faithfully—and still be spiritually dead.
 Video Description:

    Many professing Christians today are deceived—not by the world, but by their own false assurance. In this sobering message, Brother Carlton shares a heartfelt warning: head knowledge of the Bible, even agreement with doctrines like the Five Points of Calvinism, does not guarantee salvation.

    Are you truly born again? Has Christ given you a new heart and a hunger for righteousness? Or are you clinging to religion while living in habitual sin, with no deep desire to please God?

    This video calls for deep, honest self-examination. It exposes the emptiness of much modern church life, the danger of 501(c)(3) compromise, and the false hope offered by cultural Christianity.

     Topics covered:

        Why intellectual belief isn't saving faith

        The fruit of true conversion

        Why most churches today are social clubs, not sanctuaries

        The role of conscience vs. regeneration

        What it means to seek first the kingdom of God

     Time is short. The days are dark. Will you wake up before it’s too late?

      <title>&quot;The Power of Maturity: Growing Through Life's Stages With Wisdom, Focus, and Faith&quot;</title>

      <description><![CDATA[This reflective talk explores the multi-dimensional nature of maturity—emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual—while weaving in personal stories, philosophical quotes, and biblical insights. Drawing from a book on maturity and his own life experiences, the speaker challenges listeners to go beyond age and examine how they truly cope with the "phenomena of existence." He contrasts superficial signs of adulthood with the deeper virtues of self-control, discipline, and spiritual transformation. Emphasizing that maturity is not a static state but a lifelong journey of becoming, he urges us to seek growth, live intentionally, and ultimately be born again through Christ—the true beginning of lasting maturity and purpose.

***This discussion centers on the concept of maturity, emphasizing it as a state of becoming rather than being. Maturity is described as dealing wisely with life's phenomena, including coping with reality and managing desires.

      <description><![CDATA[In this heartfelt outdoor devotional, Carlton reflects on powerful writings by Dr. Bob Cook and the urgent call from Hebrews 10:25—not to neglect gathering with believers or the means of grace such as prayer, Scripture, and true repentance. He challenges viewers to examine their hearts, question the state of today’s churches, and seek a real relationship with God—not just a routine. This is a stirring reminder to humble ourselves, prevail in prayer, and return to the basics of vibrant, biblical Christianity.

      <description><![CDATA[The lesson for the viewer of this video based on Luke 8:26–39—especially through the lens of J.C. Ryle’s commentary—is this:

Don't ask Christ to leave. Welcome Him, even when His presence disrupts your comfort.
Here are the key spiritual takeaways:

 Two Requests, Two Outcomes:

        The Gadarene people asked Jesus to depart—and He did.

        The delivered man asked to follow Jesus—and though Jesus didn’t grant that specific request, He gave him a higher mission: to testify.

     This contrast teaches us that what we ask of Christ reveals our heart—and He responds accordingly.

    The Cost of Rejecting Christ:

        The Gadarenes valued their pigs (economic comfort) more than the salvation of a soul.

        In doing so, they rejected the very One who had power to heal, save, and transform.

     If we love our comforts, possessions, or status more than Christ, we risk losing His presence entirely.

    The Power of Testimony:

        Jesus told the healed man to go back and share what God had done.

        His personal witness was more powerful than a theological debate or sermon.

     Even if we can't “follow” Jesus in the way we want, we can still serve Him right where we are.

Summary Lesson:
Don’t push Jesus away because He challenges your priorities. Instead, welcome His presence—even when it disrupts your plans—and be willing to testify of His mercy to others.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video, my brother and I explore a trail in Modesto and encounter the stark reality faced by some of our unhoused neighbors.   We reflect on their circumstances, the importance of withholding judgment, and the deeper questions about why such suffering exists.

Bible Verses to Ponder 

 Proverbs 19:17: "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again."

Isaiah 58:7: "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?"

Matthew 25:35-36: "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me."

Psalm 82:3-4: "Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked."

James 2:15-16: "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?"

      <description><![CDATA[In this relaxed, unscripted video, Brother Carlton takes us on a stroll through the grassy,
overgrown areas near the freeway, what he jokingly calls the "jungle of Modesto."  
With beautiful weather and sunshine, he talks about the benefits of walking outdoors, soaking
in vitamin D, and escaping the stuffy gym environment.  It's a simple, honest reflection on staying active and connected with nature, right in your own backyard.

      <description><![CDATA[Summary:

This heartfelt and scripture-rich message explores the profound love of God as revealed in 1 John 3, focusing on the believer's adoption into God’s family, the call to holiness, and the hope of transformation at Christ’s return. Drawing on commentary from Matthew Henry and insights from various biblical passages, the speaker reminds believers of their spiritual inheritance, the necessity of purity, and the ultimate promise of being like Christ when He appears. The video challenges both new and seasoned Christians to live in light of their identity as children of God, set apart from the world, and destined for glory.

Key topics include:

    The difference between general and effectual calling

    Total depravity and grace

    Our adoption and new identity in Christ

    How the world does not know us because it did not know Him

    The promise that “we shall be like Him” at His appearing

    Holiness and purity as the mark of true hope

The message ends with a call to meditate on 1 John 3:1–3, pursue holiness, and rest in the truth of God's adopting love.

      <description><![CDATA[This passionate reflection emphasizes the need for daily spiritual growth through Scripture, reading, and meditation. The central topic explores the significance of the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.), which affirmed the full divinity of Jesus Christ and refuted Arianism—a heresy that falsely claimed Christ was a created being. 
The author recounts an encounter with Jehovah’s Witnesses and uses 1 John 5:20 to defend the biblical doctrine of Christ’s deity. He warns against the modern resurgence of ancient heresies and stresses the importance of clinging to historic Christian creeds and sound doctrine. The message concludes with a sobering commentary on false teachings, political delusion, and a reminder to trust in God alone, not man.

      <description><![CDATA[In this passionate and heartfelt message, Brother Carlton challenges believers to reflect on their desire to truly please God—and shares the key that many overlook: studying the Word of God. Citing 2 Timothy 2:15, he urges Christians to become lifelong learners, rightly dividing the Word of truth.

He covers topics such as:

   * What it means to walk by faith and not by sight

   * Why fear of the Lord matters in daily life

    * The difference between legalism and lawlessness

    * How small daily habits shape your spiritual life

    * Debates around Sabbath-keeping, pork, and ceremonial laws

   * Understanding soul, spirit, and body from Scripture

    * Misunderstandings in Christian culture (playing cards, pool, entertainment)

   * Why joy, strength, and victory come from Scripture and sanctification

Carlton wraps it up with encouragement to make Bible study a daily habit—even if it’s just five minutes—and reminds viewers of the hope of eternal life in Christ.



Second Timothy two fifteen in the King James Version says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

In essence, it means that believers should diligently study and understand God's word so they can handle it correctly and live in a way that pleases God. It emphasizes the importance of being a faithful and unashamed servant who correctly interprets and applies the teachings of the Bible.

      <description><![CDATA[This video reflects on the root causes of wars and conflicts throughout history, drawing from James chapter 4. I discuss how lust, pride, and worldly desires lead to conflicts, whether on a personal level or between nations. I also touch on historical and contemporary examples, like the conflicts involving Ukraine and Israel, and emphasize the need to align our desires with God's will to avoid such strife.

      <description><![CDATA[Break free from anxiety and discover the one fear that leads to wisdom, peace, and power in uncertain times.

In this heartfelt, scripture-rich message, Brother Carlton urges Christians to reclaim the “fear of the Lord”—not as terror, but as deep reverence, respect, and daily awareness of God's presence. Drawing from Proverbs 9:10, he explains how this fear is the beginning of wisdom and the antidote to the irrational fears dominating today’s culture—from nuclear war to financial ruin.

Referencing a Chapman University 2024 study listing America’s top fears, he challenges believers to shift their focus from worldly anxieties to spiritual priorities. He quotes scripture, shares personal memories of old-school Wednesday night prayer meetings, and exposes the emptiness of today’s entertainment-driven churches.

Brother Carlton highlights how Jesus, Paul, and Proverbs all point us toward truth, righteousness, and peace through faith—not worry. He closes with a call to biblical wisdom in a confused generation, affirming that true freedom and clarity begin with fearing God and seeking His Kingdom first.

      <description><![CDATA[This video highlights the hymn "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," written by Isaac Watts in 1707. It's inspired by Galatians 6:14  "But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." NKJV

and originally titled "Crucifixion to the World by the Cross of Christ." You explain that Watts composed many hymns after his college studies, and this hymn is considered by many as one of the finest in English church history.

      <description><![CDATA[Reformers in the 1500s had differing views on church music. Martin Luther supported hymns and carols, while John Calvin preferred only the Psalms. Calvin, influenced by his belief that worship should be simple, championed metrical Psalms in Geneva. His 1561 hymnal featured a melody for Psalm 100, now known as "Old Hundredth," commonly used for the Doxology.

1  All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell, Come ye before Him and rejoice.

2. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make; We are His flock, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take.

3.  O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do.

4.  For why? the Lord our God is good; His mercy is forever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure."

      <description><![CDATA[In this video, I take you through a powerful and deeply moving hymn from the beloved book Then Sings My Soul: 150 of the World's Greatest Hymn Stories by Robert J. Morgan. This treasured volume, which I purchased back in the late 1990s, shares not only the lyrics and music of classic hymns, but also the rich stories behind them.

Today’s feature is one of my all-time favorites: “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded” — a solemn hymn often sung in Reformed churches and rooted in a medieval Latin poem ascribed to Bernard of Clairvaux, a 12th-century monk, scholar, and adviser to kings and popes. Though his life was filled with complexity and paradox, his contribution to sacred music through this hymn is timeless.

I read through the story behind the hymn and share several verses, including some lesser-known stanzas. I even give a humble try at singing it, just so you can hear the melody and feel its emotional weight.

This hymn is a reminder of Christ’s great suffering and our response of gratitude and love. As Psalm 118:1 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endures forever.”

    O Sacred Head, now wounded,
    With grief and shame weighed down,
    Now scornfully surrounded
    With thorns, Thine only crown;
    How pale Thou art with anguish,
    With sore abuse and scorn!
    How does that visage languish
    Which once was bright as morn!

    What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,
    Was all for sinners’ gain;
    Mine, mine was the transgression,
    But Thine the deadly pain.
    Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
    ’Tis I deserve Thy place;
    Look on me with Thy favor,
    And grant to me Thy grace.

    What language shall I borrow
    To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
    For this Thy dying sorrow,
    Thy pity without end?
    Oh, make me Thine forever,
    And should I fainting be,
    Lord, let me never, never
    Outlive my love to Thee.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video there are some deep and important points as found in Warren Wiersbe's excellent little book entitled "Be Joyful" which  emphasize that salvation isn't about human effort or religious rituals, but about faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross.

Here’s a summary of the key points:

1.    Worship in Spirit: True worship isn’t about external rituals but comes from the heart, guided by the Holy Spirit.

 2.    Boasting in Christ: Salvation is about what Jesus has done, not our own deeds. We can’t earn salvation; it’s a gift of grace.

 3.   No Confidence in the Flesh: Human efforts can’t achieve what only God’s grace can. This reminds us to rely on God’s strength, not our own.

The story about the pastor and the boat humorously illustrates that salvation doesn’t come from our efforts. It’s entirely God’s work. Let me know how you like this message.

He explores the dangers of modern versions that stray from faithful, clear, and dignified translations of God’s Word.

      <description><![CDATA[This video breaks down the biggest misconceptions about wealth, control, and happiness. Many people believe money, success, or moving to a different place will finally make them happy—but that’s not how life works. Even those who "have it all" often feel empty.

It also discusses the illusion of control—how life can throw unexpected challenges at us, from job losses to tragic losses like my father-in-law’s passing after taking the clot shot or my brother-in-law George’s freak accident requiring staples in his head.

True happiness isn’t found in wealth or achievements. The University of Success by Og Mandino highlights that people chase happiness in external things, but it’s actually found within.

Jesus already gave us the secret in the Beatitudes. The word “blessed” literally means happy. He taught that happiness comes not from riches, but from being meek, merciful, righteous, and even from enduring trials for the sake of truth.

Real wealth isn’t just money—it’s control over your time, your purpose, and your mind. The key is not chasing more but appreciating what you already have.

      <description><![CDATA[In this powerful reading of Christ, Our Righteousness, the great 18th-century preacher George Whitefield proclaims the necessity of Christ’s righteousness for salvation. Whitefield powerfully demonstrates how Jesus is revealed throughout the Old Testament and how His righteousness is the only hope for sinners.

This message is part of my Christ in the Old Testament series, where we explore how the scriptures consistently point to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises.

If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament foreshadows Christ or why His righteousness alone justifies us before God, this sermon will strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of the gospel.

      <description><![CDATA[Are you ready to turn your business around? If you're struggling with cash flow, losing customers, or simply feeling stuck, it's time to take decisive action. I offer world-class marketing strategies that can elevate your business to new heights—strategies that I normally charge hundreds per hour for, now available at a fraction of the cost.
 
Imagine partnering with someone who guarantees results: if my tactics don't drive the growth you need, you won't pay a dime. Don't let uncertainty hold you back any longer. Reach out today for a free strategy session and let's build a tailored plan that transforms your challenges into opportunities. 

Are you leaving money on the table? Most business owners work hard but struggle to grow because they rely on one or two marketing methods—or worse, they don’t track what’s actually working.

If you want to increase revenue without working harder, you need to work smarter by optimizing your existing assets. Here are a few key questions to consider:

 Are your ads truly effective? The right message can 10X your response rate. If your headlines, offers, or calls to action aren’t compelling, your ads could be wasting money.

 Do you have a strong guarantee? People hesitate to buy because of risk. A clear, bold guarantee can dramatically increase conversions.

 Are you offering valuable bonuses? A great bonus can turn a hesitant prospect into a paying customer.

 Are you communicating enough with your customers? Many businesses lose money simply because they don’t follow up. Are you staying top of mind with your clients?

 Are you pricing your services correctly? Sometimes, a simple adjustment in your pricing or bundling can increase revenue without extra effort.

The good news? You don’t have to figure this out alone. I specialize in helping businesses uncover hidden opportunities for growth—without wasting money on ineffective strategies.

 Let’s talk and see if there’s a good fit. If you’re serious about multiplying your revenue and making a bigger impact, schedule a quick strategy call with me today.

 Call 909-316-4496 to reach out—Let's see how we can take your business to the next level.

No matter how difficult life gets, God is not finished with you. Your trials today will become your testimony tomorrow. Keep moving forward, keep trusting, and remember—with God, all things are possible!

      <description><![CDATA[This video discusses the great evangelist George Whitefield, who was instrumental in the Great Awakening alongside Jonathan Edwards. Unlike Edwards, who read his sermons, Whitefield was an extemporaneous preacher who immersed himself in the Word of God, often preaching without extensive preparation because of his deep biblical knowledge. The message reflects on Whitefield’s sermon on Abraham’s faith in offering Isaac, drawing parallels to God’s sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It encourages viewers to reflect on their faith, the importance of repentance, and the role of good works in the Christian life. The video emphasizes that the Old Testament foreshadows the Gospel and reminds believers to deeply study Scripture.

      <description><![CDATA[This passage emphasizes how Christ is the central theme of the entire Bible, particularly the Old Testament. It references Luke 24:27, where Jesus explained to His disciples on the road to Emmaus how all the scriptures pointed to Him. The article highlights that Christ was prefigured in Old Testament sacrifices, judges, and prophets. He is the true Deliverer, the greater Moses, and the fulfillment of the promises made to Abraham and Israel. The passage stresses the importance of reading Scripture with Christ at its center, as losing sight of Him makes the Bible difficult to understand.

      <description><![CDATA["Galatians 3 is a powerful chapter where Paul rebukes the Galatians for turning back to the law after receiving salvation through faith in Christ. He explains that righteousness comes by faith, not by works of the law, using Abraham as an example—God counted him righteous because of his faith. The law was given to reveal sin and lead us to Christ, but now that faith has come, we are no longer under the law. Through Christ, we are all children of God, and there is no distinction between Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female—we are one in Christ Jesus."

The depravity of man and the idea of reprobation from a biblical perspective is given.  There is point beyond which there is no salvation and we explore the idea that you can not forgive God's enemies although you can forgive your own enemies.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video, we dive into the devastating Pacific Palisades fire, the most expensive fire in California's history, which destroyed homes, schools, and lives. While some, like my wife’s cousin, miraculously had their homes spared, the crisis highlights deep flaws in leadership and governance. 

From Governor Newsom’s environmental priorities to Karen Bass's absence during the fire, the response has raised questions about priorities and accountability. Could this be part of a larger, planned event? We explore theories involving arson, insurance collapses, and even geo-engineered weather and drones, suggesting that powerful entities may have much to gain from this devastation.

I also discuss the broader globalist agenda, government control, and the media's role in shaping narratives, linking these crises to biblical prophecy and spiritual truths. As believers, we must stay vigilant, pray, and speak truth boldly. Share this video and join me in uncovering what’s really happening in our world.#hashtags

      <description><![CDATA[I explain a special offer (with a 100% Money Back Guarantee) to those interested in building wealth and willing to invest in a newly discovered stock. Incredible as it sounds this stock has the potential of a 5x to 10x return on your investment.  You must have a stock trading account or open one as soon as possible to take advantage of the smart money pouring into this low-priced stock.  I've already doubled my money but I could double or triple my  initial investment and so might  you.

NOTE:  This stock has already doubled from when I bought it just 2-3 months ago and tripled from when it bottomed at 75 cents.  So I fully expect it to soar higher in the next 6-12 months but you can keep it longer term or trade it as you wish.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I explain how I first came across this book by Dale Carnegie called "How To Win Friends and Influence People" (15 million copies sold) which is an excellent study of human relations and how to get along with people.  Then I explain how I first started memorizing bible verses.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I quote one of my favorite bible verses that I learned as a teenager.  Do you know this verse?  If not then I encourage you to learn it today.  It's easy and has practical implications.

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all yourr heart and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths."

      <description><![CDATA[Greetings, friends! Today, we dive into Romans 11:36 and explore its profound truth: "For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen."

 Key Points Covered:

    What does it mean that all things are for God’s glory?
    Insights from Robert Haldane’s classic commentary on Romans.
    Why our purpose is centered on God’s glory, not our own happiness.
    How the sovereignty of God, redemption through Christ, and sanctification by the Spirit come together for His glory.
    Reflections on sin, redemption, and how even our failures are used for God’s greater plan.

 Practical Takeaways:

    The importance of focusing on God’s glory in daily life.
    The role of faith, not works, in our justification and sanctification.
    Why prayer changes us rather than changing God.

In this video I ask a question that seldom gets asked today.   How did the religious rulers of his day treat Jesus I also cover some choice ideas from the late Warren Wiersbe.

My teacher Frank Micklewright was born in England and taught at Delta College.  He had us study this poem and go through the various figures of speech.  I hope this ignites your sense of creativity and fires your imagination to write your own poem.

I also share my "Acre of Diamonds" which put me into business. You can listen to my audio interview with Michael Senoff which was done around 2002.  Just search for it on the internet as I can not find it at this time but perhaps you can.

      <description><![CDATA[Today I explain that everything we have that is good like faith or the Holy Spirit (and much else beside) we have received from the Lord. It comes from heaven above and several scriptures are given.
Faith which some think originates from themselves by their "free will" also is a gift that comes to every believer.  I cover many tremendous and wonderful truths which I think you'll find of great value.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I finally capture all three of my cats together at one time.  They're sleeping on my daughter's bed.  While my brother visited me for three days Pompom never came out from hiding because she was afraid of my brother apparently.  
My brother finally came to see our home which was purchased a little over four years ago.  I took him and my daughter through the city, grabbed some Rite-Aid icecream and visited a local park. A few days later my brother and I took a hike up to Oak Glen and saw the wonderful outdoor milieu in all its beauty.  God, our Creator,  is a Master Artist.
Finally, on Saturday afternoon my brother and I watched an excellent film entitled "Peter and Paul"
starring Anthony Hopkins.  I've seen the film at least twice but my brother had never seen it so I encouraged him to watch it.  We also watched "LA Confidential" about the crime and corruption of Los Angeles Police Department in the 1940's.  This film was based on a true story.  It never ceases to amaze me this evil called human depravity which scripture teaches is part of the human condition but by God's grace we can overcome it to a large degree.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I read from a classic book, an excellent devotional by Charles Haddon Spurgeon one of England's great preachers.  The text is taken from 2 Corinthians 12:9 "For my strength is made perfect in weakness."
NOTE:  For some reason the first 20-30 seconds of this video didn't get recorded.  Basically I mentioned my three favorite devotionals books 1. Spurgeon's Morning & Evening 2. J. C. Ryles's
3. Dr. Robert A. Cook   I also mentioned that I first purchased Spurgeon's devotional back around 
1978 for just $6.95 in hardback. 
Lot's of good content here as I quote various scriptures pertaining to the Christian faith to get us to examine our walk with the Lord.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I compare Jesus to a stairway that leads to heaven and I mentioned other metaphors in the Bible that say Jesus is the Vine and the Door.  I forgot to mention that Jesus, according to the holy scriptures the Bible, says Jesus is "The Way" not just another way.  Big difference here philosophically or theologically speaking wouldn't you agree?  Ok.  
 I also describe my life as a professing Christian and that for many years I really had no fear of the Lord and so I doubted my salvation and questioned if I was truly converted.  When I first thought I was saved I didn't even know that Jesus was God in the flesh until my pastor taught me this truth.  I made a profession of faith at age 14 and began memorizing many scriptures starting with Proverbs 15:1-3 from an old Bible my great grandmother gave me while I lived in a foster home. 
After moving to Hollywood and losing just about everything materially speaking I visited a graveyard in my hometown of Stockton, Ca and the Lord revealed to me just how bad and sinful I was and that was a turning point for me. All my relatives were dead and yet the Lord allowed me to live even though I was a worse sinner than any of my relatives.  I had a name but I was "dead" spiritually speaking. After this experience,  like the apostle Pau,l I started preaching in the streets and college campuses...wherever the Spirit led me.

:Many who call themselves Christians are not true believers and so as the true believer dies off and departs to be with Jesus the earth remains full of violence and wickedness of every sort.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video on Sunday October 20, 2024 I speak about a wonderful verse we should all memorize and that is Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus...the author and finisher of our faith." 

The book of Hebrews exhorts us to continue on with our profession and continue looking unto Jesus lest we apostatize and fall away.  Remember Lot's wife what happened when she looked back after the angel told her not to look back.  She was judged.

Isaiah 45:22   "Look unto me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth."  There is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ for He is "the way, the truth and the life; nobody comes unto the Father except by me"
John 14:6

Today we have all kinds of false gospels claiming salvation by following this man or this woman but these are all false paths that lead to hell.  Only Jesus can save because he only was sinless.  He is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.  This message was preached by John the Baptist.  It is not popular but it is true and all true believers follow this teaching to their rejoicing.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I discuss one of the first bible verses I memorized and explain some of the implications of God's omnipresence, that is, the fact that God is everywhere beholding the evil and the good.

The following are some comments from the late Matthew Henry

The great truths of divinity are of great use to enforce the precepts of morality, and none more than this—That the eye of God is always upon the children of men. 1. An eye to discern all, not only from which nothing can be concealed, but by which everything is actually inspected, and nothing overlooked or looked slightly upon: The eyes of the Lord are in every place; for he not only sees all from on high (Ps. 33:13), but he is everywhere present.

 Angels are full of eyes (Rev. 4:8), but God is all eye. It denotes not only his omniscience, that he sees all, but his universal providence, that he upholds and governs all. Secret sins, services, and sorrows are under his eye. 2. An eye to distinguish both persons and actions.

 He beholds the evil and the good, is displeased with the evil and approves of the good, and will judge men according to the sight of his eyes, Ps. 1:6; 11:4. The wicked shall not go unpunished, nor the righteous unrewarded, for God has his eye upon both and knows their true character; this speaks as much comfort to saints as terror to sinners.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I mention meeting Les Brown, the famous inspirational/motivational speaker, in Los Angeles this past weekend AND then I explain how, in our daily lives, we can violate this commandment of having no other god's before the LORD

From Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Bible

1. The first commandment concerns the object of our worship, Jehovah, and him only (v. 3): Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

 The Egyptians, and other neighboring nations, had many gods, the creatures of their own fancy, strange gods, new gods; this law was prefixed because of that transgression, and, Jehovah being the God of Israel, they must entirely cleave to him, and not be for any other, either of their own invention or borrowed from their neighbors. This was the sin they were most in danger of now that the world was so overspread with polytheism, which yet could not be rooted out effectually but by the gospel of Christ.

 The sin against this commandment which we are most in danger of is giving the glory and honor to any creature which are due to God only.

 Pride makes a god of self, covetousness makes a god of money, sensuality makes a god of the belly; whatever is esteemed or loved, feared or served, delighted in or depended on, more than God, that (whatever it is) we do in effect make a god of. This prohibition includes a precept which is the foundation of the whole law, that we take the Lord for our God, acknowledge that he is God, accept him for ours, adore him with admiration and humble reverence, and set our affections entirely upon him. In the last words, before me, it is intimated,

 (1.) That we cannot have any other God but he will certainly know it. There is none besides him but what is before him. Idolaters covet secretly; but shall not God search this out? (2.) That it is very provoking to him; it is a sin that dares him to his face, which he cannot, which he will not, overlook, nor connive at. See Psalm 44:20, 21.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I cover in more detail the idea that our body is a temple wherein the Holy Spirit (God) dwells if we are a Christian, i.e. if we have been regenerated or born again or washed from above. We must 
not abuse ourselves in any way.  

1 Corinthians 6:19 Teaches us that our body is a temple. We are sanctified vessels, that is, we are set apart from the world and set apart unto our Creator/God.

Thus we belong to God and we are not our own to do our own pleasure but rather we are to do the pleasure or will of God.  We are to be yielded up to God because we are purchased by and for God.

We are bought with a price even the precious blood of Jesus Christ our redeemer who made atonement for us on the cross.

I also talk about free will and how the gospel goes out to many in general, but we must have spiritual ears to hear it and be saved.

      <title>Do We Need Good Works To Get To Heaven? Roman Catholics vs Protestants!</title>

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I touch upon the controversy of faith without works and works based on
a true saving faith which I refer to as a "dynamic" faith.

Many people think they only need to believe or have a faith in Jesus but scripture teaches
that a person may "say he has faith" but if he has no works James asks, can that faith save him?

The answer is no.  It can not save him.  Therefore a Christian must have good works to get into heaven.

James 2:14-21 explains faith and works.

God knows those that are His.  He doesn't need to see our good works to identify a true believer but
people do need to see our good works because they can not see our faith apart from our works.

This is why James says "show me your faith without your works and I'll show you my faith by my works."

Works are either good or evil depending on what kind of faith they proceed from.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I share with you the two times I met celebrity film star Charlton Heston.

I was grateful to have met Mr. Heston in my hometown Stockton, CA  in 1996 before I moved to Hollywood, CA  to pursue an acting career.  I was working a catering event for Papapovlo's and served Mr. Heston some coffee and/or wine as I recall. 

 In 1998 I met him again at the Governor's Ball and had my picture taken with him.  That was a memorable year because the film "Titanic" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett won an Oscar for best picture.  My friend Paul Walter took a picture of Kate and I about the time I ran into Mr. Heston. 

 I'll always remember Mr. Heston's outstanding performance in Cecil B DeMille's  "The Ten Commandments" which I use to watch as a teenager.

NOTE: Many people don't know but Mr. Heston kept a journal from 1950-1970 detailing his Hollywood film career.

Two of my favorites films which included tremendous musical scores were "The Ten
Commandments" and "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ" which featured Charlton Heston
playing Moses and Mr. Heston playing the fictional character Judah Ben-Hur.

Buy or rent these two films if you haven't already seen them.  Both are inspiring.

1. Catered event in Stockton, CA
2. The Governor's Ball in Los Angeles

      <description><![CDATA[In this video, I discuss the importance of time from a chapter of the book
"This Changes Everything: How The Gospel Transforms The Teen Years" by Jacquelle Crowe.

I was so impressed with this author's perspective and wisdom that I had to read it again. On my second reading, I read it slower and underlined important ideas.

Every teenager and even parents will gain biblical wisdom by carefully perusing the contents of this young woman's book.  It is rare to find a teenager with such wisdom. 

Get this book and see for yourself.  

Watch this entire video because I share my perspective on a few things and tell a few stories that should interest you.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I show how rich Christians are in those riches which count most, namely, spiritual riches which are blessings.
Scripture Text Read-Ephesians 1:1-14

1. We are blessed by God the Father-1:4-6
2. We are blessed by God the Son-1:7-12
3  We are blessed by God the Holy Spirit-1:13-14

God the Father chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world for a purpose (to be holy
and without blame, walking before Him in love)

God the Son redeemed us and through His death we have forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace.  Yes, God's grace MAKES US RICH!  Can I get an AMEN Brother Carlton?

Finally, God the Holy Spirit effectually calls us into His Kingdom, that is, He convinces us and converts or regenerates by washing or purifying our soul by faith.  This great work of God
results NOT from anything in ourselves but according to the purpose of God who worketh all things according to His will.  That means God's sovereign election.  This teaching is seldom taught in the churches so I must take it to the homes and streets as the Lord permits.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I list 10 of the hottest topics in religion today.  These have and are still being debated today in Bible colleges, seminaries and churches throughout the world.

1.  Sexual Anthropology-Can women be pastors?
2.  Homosexuality-Can a practicing homosexual be a Christian?
3.  Cultural Ecclesiology-What is the role of the church? What kind of music? 
4.  The charismatic Gifts-Are tongues, miracles and supernatural healings for today?
5.  Creation or Evolution-Was the earth created in six literal days? Is the earth young or old?
6.  Eschatology-Is the millennium future or are we living in it now? Is there a secret rapture?
7.  Calvinism/Arminianism-Does man have a free will?  For whom did Christ die?
8.  Roman Catholicism-Are Roman Catholics saved?  Is this church a cult?
9.  The Doctribe of Hell-What is the nature of hell?  Is it eternal darkness, fire or separation from God or possibly annihilation?
10.  Politics- Should pastors give political sermons?  Should the church endorse political candidates or petition for political purposes?

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I discuss a very important subject that you would do well to research and study.

go to www.hushmoney.org and read everything there to have a better understanding of this matter.

    
501c3 church myths
 

A church or church ministry must be 501c3 in order to avoid paying taxes.
 
A church or church ministry must be 501c3 in order to be tax deductible.

Churches should comply with all the laws of the land because Jesus said, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s” (Mr 12:17). Therefore, it is only right for a church to become a 501c3.

Being a 501c3 helps to legitimize a church in the eyes of the world. After all, Paul said, “Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.” (2Co 8:21)
 

Myths #1 & 2 have been promulgated for years by swarms of attorneys, as well as some accountants. Both myths are patently false. When it comes to legal and tax matters, most people just assume that the “licensed professionals” know what they're talking about. Little do people realize that far too many attorneys never personally study the law for themselves, and are merely parroting what they've heard other attorneys say. Once a myth gets started in the legal profession, it tends to spread like a wildfire, particularly when the myth can make a lot of money for the tens of thousands of attorneys who want to take advantage of it. We’ll debunk these myths using the IRS’ own publications.

Myth #3 is often promulgated by folks who misconstrue the statements of Jesus to justify placing His church under State authority. Theologically, this is referred to as “Erastianism,” a position that holds that the church is, and ought to be, subordinate to the State.

Myth #4 is often promulgated by those who are preoccupied with pleasing men in order to win their approval. This is problematic because it inevitably results in worldly compromise. The emphasis in Paul's teaching is first upon doing what is honest “in the sight of the Lord.” Only then are we enabled to do what is honest “in the sight of men.”

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I discuss the importance of evangelism and that every professing Christian
should engage in this important work.  

Jesus commanded it and lived it out as part of his ministry and so did the apostle Paul.
Between hope, faith and love the greatest of these is love said the apostle Paul.
The greatest love we can show our neighbor is to give them the gospel and desire their salvation.

The churches do not seem to be evangelizing as they should.  Where are the street preachers within the local churches doing this particular work?

Finally, I encourage anybody living within my area to join with me as a co-laborer in the gospel.

If you wish to engage in this work please contact me.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I mention the fires in Southern California, near Trabuco Canyon, Line fire
in Highland and other areas.  Interesting how all these fires seemed to have started about the same time.  Coincidence or conspiracy?

 Are we to believe the news and government reports?

I also mention that conspiracies exist.  They are real.

The death of Jesus resulted NOT from a whim but by conspiracy. Thus conspiracies do exist
in reality and not just in theory.

Today September 11, 2024 marks 23 years since September 11, 2001 when the New York Trade
Towers were hit.  Should we believe the "official story" of our government?  I explain that Satan
is loose from all the evidence we see around us and that the Dragon=Satan, the Beast=ungodly

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I explore the question in the title.  The answer can be found in the Bible where I quote several scriptures for you to examine.

Is depravity partial as the Arminian says or total as the Calvinist says?  What saith scripture?

Sin permeates all of man meaning sin affects man's will, heart, conscience, memory etc so in this sense it is total.  Total depravity doesn't mean man is as bad as he can be.  I forgot to explain this. Man can be much worse than he is but it is the restraining hand of God that keeps man from becoming worse than he is by nature.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I discuss the two commandments that Jesus stated which summarized the entire
law and duty of man.
First Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength AND Two... Love they neighbor as thyself.  On these TWO commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets

The ceremonial law given to ancient Israel was fulfilled by Christ and nailed to the cross.  They were shadows and have no benefit any longer.  In fact when certain religious groups offer animal sacrifices thinking they are efficacious atonement for sin they actually show disrespect and unbelief toward the Lord Jesus Christ who is the lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world.

      <title>Is Holiness The Key To Getting Into Heaven? Discover the Truth Now!</title>

      <description><![CDATA[In this video you'll discover that God requires holiness before any person can enter His holy
heaven or sanctuary.

This does not mean that salvation comes by our own good works.  No.  Salvation is by the grace of God scripture teaches us in Ephesians 2:8-9

People say I'll be godly and holy after I get to heaven.  No, no.  It doesn't work that way my friend.
Holiness and godliness have to take place first.  Thus, holiness is NOT optional when it comes
to going to heaven.

The following are some excellent comments from the blessed Matthew Henry

14. "If the children of God grow impatient under affliction, they will neither walk so quietly and peaceably towards men, nor so piously towards God, as they should do; but faith and patience will enable them to follow peace and holiness too, as a man follows his calling, constantly, diligently, and with pleasure. Observe, First, It is the duty of Christians, even when in a suffering state, to follow peace with all men, yea, even with those who may be instrumental in their sufferings. This is a hard lesson, and a high attainment, but it is what Christ has called his people to. Sufferings are apt to sour the spirit and sharpen the passions; but the children of God must follow peace with all men. Secondly, Peace and holiness are connected together; there can be no true peace without holiness. There may be prudence and discreet forbearance, and a show of friendship and good-will to all; but this true Christian peaceableness is never found separate from holiness. We must not, under pretence of living peaceably with all men, leave the ways of holiness, but cultivate peace in a way of holiness. Thirdly, Without holiness no man shall see the Lord. The vision of God our Saviour in heaven is reserved as the reward of holiness, and the stress of our salvation is laid upon our holiness, though a placid peaceable disposition contributes much to our meetness for heaven.

6. Where afflictions and sufferings for the sake of Christ are not considered by men as the chastisement of their heavenly Father, and improved as such, they will be a dangerous snare and temptation to apostasy, which every Christian should most carefully watch against (v. 15, 16): Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, etc.

(1.) Here the apostle enters a serious caveat against apostasy, and backs it with an awful example.

[1.] He enters a serious caveat against apostasy, v. 15. Here you may observe, First, The nature of apostasy: it is failing of the grace of God; it is to become bankrupts in religion, for want of a good foundation, and suitable care and diligence; it is failing of the grace of God, coming short of a principle of true grace in the soul, notwithstanding the means of grace and a profession of religion, and so coming short of the love and favour of God here and hereafter. Secondly, The consequences of apostasy: where persons fail of having the true grace of God, a root of bitterness will spring up, corruption will prevail and break forth. A root of bitterness, a bitter root, producing bitter fruits to themselves and others. It produces to themselves corrupt principles, which lead to apostasy and are greatly strengthened and radicated by apostasy—damnable errors (to the corrupting of the doctrine and worship of the Christian church) and corrupt practices. Apostates generally grow worse and worse, and fall into the grossest wickedness, which usually ends either in downright atheism or in despair. It also produces bitter fruits to others, to the churches to which these men belonged; by their corrupt principles and practices many are troubled, the peace of the church is broken, the peace of men's minds is disturbed, and many are defiled, tainted with those bad principles, and drawn into defiling practices; so that the churches suffer both in their purity and peace. But the apostates themselves will be the greatest sufferers at last.

[2.] The apostle backs the caution with an awful example, and that is, that of Esau, who though born within the pale of the church, and having the birthright as the eldest son, and so entitled to the privilege of being prophet, priest, and king, in his family, was so profane as to despise these sacred privileges, and to sell his birthright for a morsel of meat. Where observe, First, Esau's sin. He profanely despised and sold the birthright, and all the advantages attending it. So do apostates, who to avoid persecution, and enjoy sensual ease and pleasure, though they bore the character of the children of God, and had a visible right to the blessing and inheritance, give up all pretensions thereto. Secondly, Esau's punishment, which was suitable to his sin. His conscience was convinced of his sin and folly, when it was too late: He would afterwards have inherited the blessing, etc.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I talk about fear specifically a  Fear of Change

Scripture says perfect love casts out fear 1 John 4:18

Sometimes we have a fear of change as far as what we eat or in which way we
travel to work or in our relationships or in our exercise routines.

All of these can be changed.

You can confront these challenge them and change them.

FDR said "The only thing to fear is fear itself."

Change is indeed the only constant in life. Even the same routine repeated over and over will encounter minor changes daily. Psychologically speaking, a predictable routine satisfies our primal needs for comfort and familiarity. Predictability makes us feel safe. 

Yet, many fear change because they feel out of control and out of their comfort zone. On a small scale, a fear of change can manifest as getting frustrated by unexpected changes or plans for feeling overwhelmed by new job assignments outside your everyday responsibilities.

It may also show resistance to changing bad habits or developing new routines. The fear significantly worsens when enormous upheavals arise, such as a major breakup, moving to a new place, or trying to start a new business endeavor.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video you'll find some wise comments by John Gill a preacher who preceded Charles Spurgeon by about 140 yars.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Casting all your care upon him,.... "Upon God": as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions read. The words are taken out of, or at least refer to Psalm 55:22, where, instead of "cast thy burden upon the Lord", the Septuagint have it, "cast thy care upon the Lord"; the care of the body, and of all the affairs of life, concerning which saints should not be anxiously thoughtful, but depend upon the providence of God, though in the diligent use of means, which is not forbidden, nor discouraged by this, or any such like exhortation; as also the care of the soul, and the spiritual and eternal welfare of it, which should be committed into the hands of Christ, on whom help is laid, and who is become the author of eternal salvation; nor should this slacken and make persons negligent in the use of means, for the good, comfort, and advantage of their souls:

for he careth for you; for the bodies of his people, and their outward concerns of life, for food and raiment for them, and for the preservation of them, who will not suffer them to want, nor withhold any good thing from them, or ever leave them and forsake them; and for their souls, for which he has made provision in his Son, and in the covenant of his grace has laid help upon a mighty Saviour; and who has obtained an eternal redemption for them, bestows his grace upon them, and gives every needful supply of it to them, and keeps them by his power through faith unto salvation.

      <description><![CDATA[In this video I make several comments and then I wanted to direct you to a great resource you
should purchase for yourself.

Here are some comments from Charles Spurgeon's classic 3 volume set The Treasury of David

Verse 10. Be still, and know that I am God. Hold off your hands, ye enemies! Sit down and wait in patience, ye believers! Acknowledge that Jehovah is God, ye who feel the terrors of his wrath! Adore him, and him only, ye who partake in the protection of his grace. Since none can worthily proclaim his nature, let "expressive silence muse his praise." 
The boasts of the ungodly and the timorous forebodings of the saints should certainly be hushed by a sight of what the Lord has done in past ages. I will be exalted among the heathen. They forget God, they worship idols, but Jehovah will yet be honoured by them. Reader, the prospects of missions are bright, bright as the promises of God. Let no man's heart fail him; the solemn declarations of this verse must be fulfilled.
 I will be exalted in the earth, among all people, whatever may have been their wickedness or their degradation. Either by terror or love God will subdue all hearts to himself. The whole round earth shall yet reflect the light of his majesty. All the more because of the sin, and obstinacy, and pride of man shall God be glorified when grace reigns unto eternal life in all corners of the world.

      <description><![CDATA[Brother Carlton tells about his friendship with the late Harold Camping, President of Family Radio and some of his thoughts regarding his wrong prediction about the end of the world.  While Mr. Camping was mistaken in his dogmatic assertions about May 21, 2011 being the day the Lord would return he nevertheless was a blessing to God's people and was instrumental to evangelizing the world with the gospel and teaching the Bible.  We should prove all things and hold fast that which is good.  To err is human; to forgive is divine.  Let us have no hatred in our hearts nor be guilty of evil speaking but speak the truth with love in our hearts and so be found approved unto God workmen not being ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=WG3ERQLVJVHSJ&lc=US&item_name=LAStreetPreacher&currency_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted

      <description><![CDATA[Bob Greenberger, also known as bicycle Bob because of his ability to ran through the streets of Stockton on a bike, was a fellow worker of mine who I met through an acquaintance of my brother.   Several years before I met Bob (back around 1989) he had injured his back through the use of drugs.  He was high on LSD or some other drug and he fell off a high tower and landed on his back.  Thankfully he survived the fall but he suffered injury to his back and was on disability.  He and I worked together in my hauling business until I moved to Hollywood, CA in 1996.  Pray for Bob.  I think the grace of God is at work in his life

      <description><![CDATA[Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
Street Preacher brother Carlton preaches the gospel and explains who God is.  God is holy.  We know  that God's word shall not return void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it, saith the LORD. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God."  (Romans 10:17)  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.  Repent and believe the gospel, while it is said, "Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts."https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=WG3ERQLVJVHSJ&lc=US&item_name=LAStreetPreacher&currency_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted

      <description><![CDATA[Beware of flattering lips and those who would lead you to think more highly of yourself than you should. (Romans 12:3)

The Psalmist David wrote in Psalm 12:1-4: "Help LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
 2. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 
3. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:  4. Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own:  who is lord over us?"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=WG3ERQLVJVHSJ&lc=US&item_name=LAStreetPreacher&currency_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted
