  • This Was BAD…
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on September 5, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    Jillian Michaels asks a very honest question about Christianity, salvation, homosexuality, sin, and how someone can be saved. In this clip from Jillian Michaels’ Keeping It Real podcast, she speaks with professing Christian David Harris Jr. about faith, Jesus Christ, morality, and Christianity. Jillian Michaels explains that she struggles with the idea that Christianity teaches that she is going to hell because she is married to a woman, and asks David Harris Jr. how she can reconcile this with her understanding of God, love, and morality. David Harris Jr. then leads Jillian Michaels in a prayer to invite Jesus into her life. But is this actually the biblical gospel? In this video, I examine David Harris Jr.'s presentation of the gospel and explain several serious problems with his approach to salvation, repentance, faith, forgiveness, the lordship of Jesus Christ, and the work of the Holy Spirit. The Bible does not simply tell us to “start with Jesus” and assume that everything else will work itself out. The gospel calls us to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, recognizing Him as Lord and trusting in His death and resurrection for salvation. I also examine what happens when someone is encouraged to use their feelings and emotions as evidence that they have encountered God. This is not an attack on David Harris Jr.'s intentions. The question is whether the message being presented is actually the biblical gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • I HATE It When Christians Say THIS... (Please STOP It!)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on September 1, 2026 at 7:00 pm

    There's something Christians say about God that needs to be examined. Scripture teaches that through Christ, we can have a close and intimate relationship with God. But does intimacy with God ever come at the expense of reverence? In this video, I look at an increasingly common way that some Christians speak about God and ask whether it truly reflects the balance we see throughout Scripture. God invites us to draw near to Him, but He is also holy, majestic, and worthy of our deepest reverence. What do you think?

  • Only 1% of Christians Understand THIS... (Do You?)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on August 14, 2026 at 6:30 pm

    What if the key to living the Christian life isn't trying harder to be a better Christian? Many Christians genuinely want to follow Jesus, but find themselves trapped in guilt, shame, striving, discouragement and spiritual dryness. They try harder, promise God they'll do better, and yet struggle to experience lasting transformation. In this video, I explain why real Christian transformation begins somewhere deeper than simply changing our behaviour. It's about discovering who God is, understanding our identity in Christ, and learning to live from what God has already done rather than constantly striving to become something we're not. If you've ever felt spiritually weary, stuck in your Christian walk, or frustrated by performance-based Christianity, I hope this message encourages you to look deeper. 📖 My new book: Stop Trying to Be a Better Christian A 60-day devotional journey to discovering who you already are in Christ. If you want to go deeper into these truths and learn to live from your identity in Christ, you can find the book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCCNNY6G 🌎 Also available in other Amazon marketplaces worldwide. Search “Stop Trying to Be a Better Christian” on your local Amazon store. If this message encouraged or challenged you, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. ____________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • STOP Doubting God's Love... (The ONE Verse That Changes Everything)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 31, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    Do you struggle with doubting God's love for you? Many Christians know that God loves them, but still find themselves questioning whether He truly loves them personally. In this video, you'll discover why so many believers struggle with these doubts and how one powerful truth about the cross can completely change the way you see God's love. If you battle guilt, condemnation, or feelings of unworthiness, this biblical message will encourage you to stop looking at your failures and start looking to Christ and His finished work. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • Stop Doubting Your Salvation... (The ONE Sign You're Truly Saved)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 27, 2026 at 7:00 pm

    Do you constantly doubt your salvation? Do you wonder if you're really saved, or fear that you've lost your salvation? You're not alone. Many genuine Christians struggle with assurance of salvation, even though the Bible teaches that believers can know they have eternal life. In this video, we look at what Scripture says about assurance, why so many believers struggle with doubt, and one biblical truth that can completely change the way you see your salvation. You'll discover: Why Christians doubt their salvation What the Bible says about assurance of salvation How to interpret difficult passages like 1 John 3 The difference between a believer and an unbeliever Why new desires for Christ are evidence of a regenerated heart How to find confidence in Christ's finished work rather than your own performance If you're asking, "How can I know I'm saved?" or "Why do I keep doubting my salvation?" this message is for you. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • 3 Types of "Christians" That Will Be in HELL...
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 23, 2026 at 7:35 pm

    There are millions of people today who call themselves Christians but have never truly been born again. In this video, we examine three types of "Christians" who, according to the Bible, will not inherit the kingdom of God: the Cultural Christian, the Religious Christian, and the False Convert. Jesus warned that many people would one day hear the terrifying words, "Depart from me. I never knew you." This video is not intended to make genuine believers doubt their salvation. Instead, it is a call to examine ourselves in the light of God's Word and to make sure our confidence is in Jesus Christ alone. Salvation is not found in church attendance, baptism, good works, or religious tradition. We are saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

  • Do You NEED Works To Be Saved? (Many Christians Get This WRONG!)

    Do good works save you? What does the Bible really teach about faith, works, justification, and salvation?

  • There Will Be MANY Believers in Hell...
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 18, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    What if one of the most common assumptions about hell isn't quite right? In this video, we'll examine several key passages of Scripture and uncover a truth that many people have never considered. This message is both sobering and incredibly important for every believer and unbeliever alike. If you've never thought about this before, I encourage you to watch until the end. ____________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • There Is NO SUCH THING As a Carnal Christian (100% PROOF)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 16, 2026 at 8:00 pm

    Can a true Christian remain a "carnal Christian" for life? Many Christians have been taught that someone can be genuinely saved while living in habitual, unrepentant sin with no evidence of spiritual transformation. But is that really what the Bible teaches? In this video, we examine the doctrine of the carnal Christian, a teaching that is commonly associated with Free Grace theology. Looking closely at 1 Corinthians 3, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and 2 Corinthians 7, we examine what the Apostle Paul actually says. Does Scripture teach two categories of Christians, spiritual Christians and carnal Christians, or is this a misunderstanding of Paul's words? We'll also explore the biblical teaching on regeneration, repentance, assurance of salvation, sanctification, and what it means to be born again. This is not about teaching sinless perfection. Christians do struggle with sin, even serious sin, but the New Testament consistently teaches that genuine saving faith produces a transformed life. If you've ever wondered: What is a carnal Christian? What does the Bible say about Free Grace theology? Can a Christian live in continual, willful sin? Does repentance prove genuine faith? What does the Bible say about assurance of salvation? What does it really mean to be born again? Then this video is for you. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • Stop Telling People THIS About Hell... (It's WRONG!)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 14, 2026 at 8:00 pm

    Many Christians say this about hell with good intentions, but is it actually biblical? In this video, we examine a common response Christians give when asked, "Am I going to hell?" While it may sound compassionate, it can unintentionally weaken the seriousness of what Jesus taught about hell and the urgency of the gospel. We'll look at: What the Bible says about hell Why people go to hell Why this common explanation is misleading What Christians should say instead The true message of the gospel and salvation through Jesus Christ The gospel isn't about God giving people what they want. It's about saving sinners from the very last thing they would ever want. If you're interested in biblical teaching, Christian apologetics, evangelism, theology, or learning how to share the gospel faithfully, this video is for you. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:30 Why do people go to hell? 01:00 What Jesus said about hell 02:00 The common mistake Christians make 03:41 Now here's the problem... 04:11 How I would answer instead If this video encouraged you, consider subscribing for more biblical teaching. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • These 5 Bible Passages Made Her LOSE Her Faith... (CHRISTIAN RESPONDS)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 9, 2026 at 8:00 pm

    In this video, I respond to five Bible passages that former Christian Kristi Burke, now known as Jezebel Vibes (@jezebelvibes) says caused her to lose her faith. She argues that these verses demonstrate the Bible is immoral and man made. But do these passages actually teach what she claims? We'll examine each passage in its context, including: • Psalm 137:9 • Deuteronomy 22:28-29 • Deuteronomy 20 • John 3:16 • Romans 9 Rather than relying on soundbites or assumptions, we'll carefully examine what the text actually says. My goal is not to attack Kristi personally, but to respond to the arguments she presents and encourage viewers to think carefully about Scripture in its proper context. If you've ever wrestled with difficult Bible passages, I hope this video helps you continue asking questions while digging deeper into God's Word. Chapters 0:00 Intro 1:01 Psalm 137:9 - Babies Dashed Against the Rocks 3:35 Deuteronomy 22 - Does the Bible Command a Victim to Marry Her Attacker? 7:51 Deuteronomy 20 - Slavery, War and the Canaanites 12:58 John 3:16 - Is Salvation by Faith Unfair? 16:14 Romans 9 - Does God Create People for Hell? 22:01 Final Thoughts and Conclusion ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • My Friend LEFT Christianity... (Here's What Happened)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on July 2, 2026 at 8:00 pm

    How does someone go from wanting to give everything to Jesus to completely walking away from Christianity? In this video, I share the true story of a friend I knew personally who was deeply committed to Christ but eventually rejected the Christian faith. We look at the role of church hurt, hypocrisy, cult-like control, intellectual objections, deconstruction, and the deeper emotional struggles that often accompany deconversion. What can Christians learn from stories like this, and how can we help people who are struggling with their faith? If you have ever wrestled with doubts, experienced church hurt, or wondered why people leave Christianity, I hope this video encourages you to think deeply about these important issues. If this video was helpful, please consider subscribing for more biblical teaching and Christian encouragement. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you so much for watching and being part of this ministry!

  • Hillsong's MASSIVE Cover-Up EXPOSED... (It's WORSE Than You Thought!)
    by Lion of Fire Ministries (Matt Mason) on June 27, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    This video examines the handling of the Jason Mays case at Hillsong Church and the wider questions it raises about church leadership, forgiveness, accountability, and biblical church discipline. Drawing on publicly reported information, including the 60 Minutes Australia investigation, we look at the allegations, the subsequent guilty plea, Hillsong's public response, and comments made by Brian Houston. The issue explored in this video is not whether Christians should forgive. The Bible commands forgiveness. The question is whether forgiveness should ever replace accountability within the church. When churches fail to deal with sin biblically, the consequences eventually catch up. Sources: • 60 Minutes Australia – Hillsong Hell: Disturbing accusations expose the celebrity-favoured church • Public court reporting relating to Jason Mays • Public statements issued by Hillsong Church • Public reporting regarding Brian Houston's resignation For those asking, much of the reporting discussed in this video comes from the 60 Minutes Australia investigation.
