The Brother Carlton Show

Could sincere Roman Catholics discover surprising truths by carefully studying their own Bible?

In this eye-opening and Scripture-filled message, Brother Carlton examines what many Roman Catholics may find when they personally read and compare the teachings of the Bible with long-held church traditions.

Drawing from the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible and numerous biblical passages, this thought-provoking presentation explores important questions about:

The Bible as the final authority for faith and practice

Whether believers are encouraged to search the Scriptures for themselves

Peter, the papacy, and apostolic succession

Marriage, priests, and church leadership

Confession, forgiveness, and the one true Mediator between God and man

Purgatory, prayer for the dead, and eternal destiny

The role of tradition versus Scripture

Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone

Featuring many biblical references including John 5:39, Matthew 23:9, Acts 4:12, 1 Timothy 2:5, John 14:6, Ephesians 1:7, Galatians 1:8–9, and more.

Whether you are Roman Catholic, Protestant, questioning your beliefs, or simply seeking biblical truth, this message encourages every listener to do what the noble Bereans did: search the Scriptures daily to see whether these things are so (Acts 17:11).

Are your beliefs based on tradition—or the Word of God?

Are we resisting the Holy Spirit without even realizing it? Could pride, false confidence, or spiritual complacency be keeping us from true humility before God?

In this personal and thought-provoking message, Brother Carlton shares a real-life encounter after breakfast that led him to reflect on spiritual blindness, resisting conviction, and the urgent need for self-examination in the days we are living in.

In this message, you will discover:

Why simply claiming to be a Christian is not enough

What it means to resist or quench the Holy Spirit

The danger of pride, false confidence, and spiritual complacency

Why humility is essential to walking closely with God

How self-examination can lead to repentance and renewed faith

Biblical encouragement for trusting God in uncertain times

Practical reminders about prayer, Scripture, and seeking God first

As society grows darker and the fear of God seems to disappear, this message serves as both a warning and an encouragement to examine your heart, humble yourself before God, and seek Him while He may be found.

Key Scriptures Mentioned:

Matthew 7:21 • Matthew 6:33 • Acts 7:51 • 1 Peter 5:6–7 • Romans 8:9 • Galatians 5:16 • Luke 18:8

Standing Fast or Falling Away? Could a sincere professing Christian drift into spiritual decline, backsliding, or even apostasy?

In this sobering yet hope-filled message based on Philippians 1:6, Brother Carlton explores one of the most serious questions of the Christian life:

Will you stand firm in Christ… or slowly drift away?

Drawing from Scripture and the writings of Puritan minister Thomas Vincent, this message examines:

The difference between true grace and false profession

Why some appear strong in faith yet later fall away

The dangers of spiritual complacency, worldliness, and backsliding

Biblical warnings from Demas, Hymenaeus, Alexander, and the Parable of the Sower

How to guard your soul against apostasy and spiritual decline

Why faith, prayer, journaling, Scripture, and watchfulness matter more than ever

Brother Carlton also shares part of his own personal journey—how drifting spiritually brought apathy and worldliness, and why returning to Christ is possible for the true child of God.

Key Scriptures: Philippians 1:6, Jude 1:24, Hebrews 13:9, 2 Timothy 2:1, Romans 16:20, Psalm 16:8, 1 Peter 5:8–9, Ephesians 6:16, Hebrews 10:39 (KJV)

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.

Matthew 24:12

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)

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.

!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.

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?

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.

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.
