Are the followers of Charles Taze Russell really Christians? Charles founded the Jehovah’s Witness movement and he was described as an egotistical man, who frankly made some absurd claims about himself in his own writings. Some scholars have even claimed, he compared himself to the Apostle Paul or Luther on occasion and encouraged his followers to do so. Russell was once quoted as saying, "if people had to make a choice between reading my books and reading the Scriptures, they would do better to choose my books!” In this podcast Carl will compare the core tenets of the Jehovah’s Witness organization to biblical truths and reveal whether or not you can safely place your soul in their hands.

Have you lost your joy recently? Is it any wonder based on the world around us. We often think the feeling of joy randomly occurs as the byproduct of events or circumstances that go our way but the bible reveals our joy is innate. Joy from within becomes accessible as we shift our focus away from problems, but instead toward others and Christ himself. If the joy of the Lord is our strength then your lack of it could be a hindrance. Join this podcast as Carl discusses the many health benefits of joy and laughter. It’s time to return to joy in the Lord and get your strength back!
