    JOHN BUNYAN'S FORGOTTEN CATECHISM On Faith *** Part 3

    John Bunyan's Catechism – Part 3 Can a person claim to know Christ while living in habitual sin? What does genuine repentance really look like? How can we distinguish between a mere profession of faith and true conversion? In Part 3 of our study through John Bunyan's Catechism, we continue exploring the timeless biblical truths that have awakened souls for centuries. Bunyan does not flatter the sinner or offer false assurance. Instead, he points us back to the Scriptures, where salvation is revealed as the gracious work of God that transforms the heart and produces a life of obedience. In this episode, you'll discover: Why true faith always bears spiritual fruit. The difference between outward religion and inward regeneration. What Bunyan teaches about repentance, holiness, and the new birth. How Scripture calls every believer to examine themselves in the light of God's Word. These questions are just as relevant today as they were in Bunyan's day. In an age filled with shallow professions and easy-believism, we need to recover the biblical gospel that produces changed lives and enduring faith.

    If You Have No Good Works... Are You Really Saved?

    Are good works necessary for salvation? If we're saved by grace alone through faith alone, why does the New Testament repeatedly command believers to be zealous for good works and to maintain good works? This is one of the most important questions every Christian must answer. In this Bible study, we examine what Scripture actually teaches about the relationship between saving faith and good works. Salvation is not earned by works, yet genuine saving faith always produces a transformed life. Good works are not the root of salvation—they are its fruit. Together we'll explore questions such as: Are we saved by good works or unto good works? Why does Paul command believers to maintain good works? What is the difference between dead works and works produced by living faith? Does a lack of holiness reveal a deeper spiritual problem? What does it mean that "their works do follow them" into heaven? How can you know whether your faith is genuine? Key Scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-10 Titus 2:14 Titus 3:5, 8 Romans 3:28 Romans 5:1 James 2:17-18 Galatians 5:6 John 15:1-5 Revelation 14:13 Hebrews 6:10 If you've ever wondered whether your profession of faith is genuine—or whether your life bears the fruit of the Holy Spirit—this message will challenge, encourage, and point you back to God's Word.

    JOHN BUNYAN'S FORGOTTEN CATECHISM on Confession of Sin ** Part 2

    What does true confession of sin look like in the eyes of God? Is it merely admitting that we've done wrong, or is it something far deeper? In this episode of The Brother Carlton Show, we continue our study through John Bunyan's Instruction for the Ignorant, exploring one of the most neglected subjects in modern Christianity: the confession of sin. Drawing from dozens of Scriptures, Bunyan demonstrates that genuine confession is far more than empty words or religious tradition. It flows from a heart convicted by God, grieved over sin, and longing for His mercy. Together we examine the deceitfulness of the human heart, why every sin should be confessed, how God's Word exposes what we often cannot see in ourselves, and why repentance and confession remain the ongoing marks of a true believer. You'll also hear a biblical warning against superficial religion and "easy-believism," along with an encouraging reminder that salvation is entirely the work of God. True believers don't trust in their own righteousness—they cast themselves completely upon the mercy of Christ. In this episode you'll discover: Why confession of sin is a continual practice in the Christian life. How God's Word reveals the hidden corruption of the human heart. Why repentance and confession always accompany genuine faith. The biblical reasons God commands us to confess our sins. How to distinguish heartfelt confession from empty religious ritual. Why a broken and contrite heart is precious in God's sight. What Bunyan teaches about hatred of sin, holiness, and God's mercy. Why Christ alone is our righteousness and only hope before a holy God.

    How Deceived Is Your Heart? Jonathan Edwards' Frightening Warning

    How deceptive is the human heart? More than most people ever imagine. Could it be that one of the greatest dangers facing professing Christians today is not open rebellion against God—but self-deception? In this sobering message, I examine Jonathan Edwards' powerful sermon on the deceitfulness of the human heart and compare it with Scripture. Edwards exposes a frightening reality: we can confess our sins with our lips while secretly trusting in our own righteousness. We can appear humble, religious, and devoted while our hearts remain far from God. Jesus warned that many will say, "Lord, Lord," only to hear the words, "I never knew you." Paul commands us to examine ourselves to see whether we are truly in the faith. This message takes those warnings seriously. In this study you'll discover: • Why the human heart naturally deceives itself. • The hidden danger of religious hypocrisy. • Why outward morality and religious activity cannot save. • How false assurance can blind people to their true spiritual condition. • Why many trust in prayers, church attendance, Bible knowledge, or good works instead of Christ alone. • What Jonathan Edwards teaches about genuine repentance and self-examination. • Why we must distrust our own hearts and trust God's Word instead. • The biblical call to seek true assurance from God rather than from man. This is not a message intended to discourage genuine believers, but to awaken those who may be resting in a false hope. Eternity is too important to ignore Christ's warnings. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" — Jeremiah 17:9 May the Holy Spirit search our hearts, expose every false refuge, and lead us to sincere faith in Jesus Christ.

    JOHN BUNYAN'S FORGOTTEN CATECHISM WILL SHAKE YOUR SOUL | Are You Truly Ready to Meet God?

    What if one of the greatest Puritans who ever lived could sit down with you and answer life's most important questions? In this eye-opening message, we explore the little-known catechism written by John Bunyan (1628–1688), beloved author of Pilgrim's Progress and The Holy War. Through a series of profound questions and answers, Bunyan addresses the nature of God, the reality of sin, the new birth, the importance of self-examination, true worship, the fear of the Lord, and the urgency of seeking Christ while there is still time. You'll discover: What it means to truly know God and know yourself. Why Bunyan believed the heart must be purified by faith. The biblical doctrine of sin and man's fallen condition. Why many churches today have neglected catechisms and sound doctrine. How Scripture reveals God's holiness, justice, wisdom, and love. Why young people should seek God now rather than later. The difference between outward religion and genuine Christianity. The importance of worshiping God in spirit and in truth. How the knowledge of God leads to wisdom and salvation. Why self-examination is essential for every professing Christian. This podcast is ideal for Christians, Bible students, pastors, homeschool families, and anyone who appreciates the rich spiritual treasures left behind by the Puritans.

    Did We Get Hell Wrong? The Biblical Case for Annihilation and Conditional Immortality

    For most of my Christian life, I accepted without question what I had always been taught—that the lost will suffer conscious torment forever. But after carefully re-examining the Scriptures, I found myself confronted with a troubling question: Does the Bible really teach eternal conscious torment—or does it teach the final destruction of the wicked? In this eye-opening episode of The Brother Carlton Show, we explore what the Scriptures actually say about immortality, the second death, Gehenna, the lake of fire, and God's justice and mercy. We examine: • Psalm 37 and the destruction of the wicked • Malachi 4 and the ashes under the feet of the righteous • 2 Thessalonians 1:9 and "everlasting destruction" • Why God alone possesses immortality (1 Timothy 6:16) • Conditional immortality and the gift of eternal life • Revelation's symbolic language and the lake of fire • "Where their worm dieth not" explained • Why annihilation may better harmonize God's justice with His mercy This message is not about following celebrities, traditions, or theological camps. It is about returning to Scripture and allowing God's Word to speak for itself. Whether you agree or disagree, I invite you to search the Scriptures with an open Bible and an open heart.

    IF GOD JUSTIFIED YOU, HE WILL GLORIFY YOU! | Romans 8 Explained by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

    Can a true believer ever finally fall away? Is salvation maintained by human effort, or is it grounded in the eternal purpose of God? In this powerful message based on Romans 8:29-30, the beloved Welsh expositor Martyn Lloyd-Jones unfolds what theologians have called "The Golden Chain of Redemption." Those whom God foreknew, He predestined. Those He predestined, He called. Those He called, He justified. And those He justified, He also glorified. What an astonishing truth! In this study you'll discover: Why justification is much more than forgiveness What it means to be united to Christ forever Why God's saving work cannot be broken or reversed Why Paul speaks of glorification in the past tense The believer's future resurrection and complete redemption How Romans 8 provides unshakable assurance for God's people Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds us that salvation is God's work from beginning to end. We are not kept by the strength of our understanding, but by the faithfulness and purpose of Almighty God. If He has called and justified you, your ultimate glorification is certain. Nothing—not the world, the flesh, the devil, nor all the powers of hell—can separate God's children from His saving grace. "Whom he justified, them he also glorified." — Romans 8:30 Dig Deeper in God's Word If you enjoy Christ-centered teaching and devotional reflections, I invite you to pick up my book: Digging For Spiritual Treasure: A Collection of Meditations from My Hollywood Apartment Filled with biblical encouragement, devotional thoughts, and practical lessons learned during my years pursuing a film career in Hollywood, this book will challenge and strengthen your walk with Christ.
