What does the Bible say about heaven? Maybe not as much as you’d like, but more than you might think. God hasn’t told us everything about heaven, but He has given us a few glimpses. As you’ll hear Ron tell it today, it’s a little bit like watching a baseball game through a hole in a wooden fence. You can’t see the whole picture, but you can see enough to pique your interest. Stay with us now as Ron kicks off his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
When we pray for a believer in Christ to be healed, God’s answer is always yes. Believe it or not, it’s true. When it comes to healing a born-again believer in Christ, the Lord’s answer is never no. This healing comes in three different ways, and Ron explains each of them today, as he wraps up his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
It’s one of the most frequently asked questions in the church. Why does God heal some and not others? In a manner of speaking, God does heal every believer in Christ. We’re either healed here, or else we’re healed in heaven. But in either case, we’re healed. Ron explores this subject today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
Let me ask you, what do you think faith in Christ should look like during times of pain and suffering? In James chapter five, we’re told of four key decisions we can make to help us persevere through adversity in a way that glorifies God. Ron covered the first two in his last message, but he’ll circle back around to them today, and before he’s through, you’ll have a good understanding of all four.
Jesus said it Himself. In this life you will have trouble. It sure would be nice if life were nothing but picnics and circuses. But the sad truth is all this world can promise us is one battle after another. The question is this: is your faith strong enough to endure pain and suffering and still let the world see the Jesus in you? Today’s message from James chapter five is straight ahead.
God never asked her to give away all her money. She did it, anyway. Today, Ron takes us to a familiar story from the life of Christ. He and the disciples went to the temple, and they witnessed one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever see. That story and more come your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
"Come now, you rich, weep and wail for the misery that is coming upon you." That’s James five, verse 1, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, you may think those words are reserved for the one-percenters. Wealthy men and women who have come to love money more than God. But maybe, just maybe, he’s talking to me and you as well. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
Failing to plan is better than failing to pray. But God never said you can’t do both. Nothing wrong with setting goals for yourself or having a vision for your life. But God should always be the most important part of the planning process.
The difference between planning and presumption on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. To one degree or another, all of us are planners. We make business plans, wedding plans, and retirement plans. The Lord Himself is a God of order and structure, so there’s nothing wrong with goal-setting or schedule-making. The question is: what should the attitude behind those plans be? The book of James has much to say on the subject, and Ron shares it with us next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. That’s Isaiah fifty-five, eight, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Anytime we’re in conflict with someone, we’re far better off asking the Lord how to handle it. God’s way is always better than a good way. So what exactly is God’s way to handle our disagreements?
When you’re arguing with someone, the real enemy is someone else. Submit and resist. You’ll hear those two words several times over the next few moments together, as Ron explains how to resolve conflict God’s way and to overcome our adversary, the devil, in the process. Stay with us now as we continue the teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
Sometimes God gives us grace for no reason other than His kindness. But every now and then, there’s a condition attached. When it comes to resolving conflict, God is more than willing to give you grace. But as you’ll see today, there’s something you have to do first.
There’s a reason why we quarrel. And it may not be the reason you think. Make no mistake, conflict is unavoidable. And to learn how to handle it the right way, you need to know where it comes from. That’s what Ron helps us understand today, as he continues his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
Which road are you on? The way of the world or the way of the Word. If you’re driving down the wrong road, it does no good to change lanes. You’ve got to change directions. Today, Ron shows you how, as he moves further down the road in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. A cliché? Yes, but that’s only because it’s true. Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments.” Those last three words ("do His commands") remind us that it’s not just about acquiring knowledge. It’s about having the wisdom to use it the right way. As you’ll see today, sharing wisdom is a start. Living it makes it stick.
Weapons can harm the body. Words can kill the spirit. The question is: how can we tame the human tongue? Jesus said that the words we say come from the abundance of our heart. So if our language is divisive, if we find ourselves lashing out in anger, it tells us we have a heart problem. Today, Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.” Along the way, he warns us of the dangerous potential of the human tongue and offers some biblical advice on how to tame it.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue. That’s Proverbs eighteen, twenty-one, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can crush your spirit. All the more reason to choose our words wisely, to build people up, not tear them down.
If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? It’s an important question, one that all of us should ask of ourselves from time to time. Today, Ron explores this critical question as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
You weren’t saved by good works. But you were saved for good works. Long before God formed you in the womb, before the foundation of the world, in fact, He already had good works for you to do. Not to earn His salvation or approval, because you already have both. Stay with us now as we find out more as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
I’m sure you have a favorite food, a favorite team, or a favorite vacation spot. But when it comes to the people around us, what Jesus calls our neighbors, the Lord asks us to play fair, not to play favorites. So how can we live a life free from partiality or favoritism? What would it look like in our day-to-day lives? Ron tackles the subject next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
God has never been one to play favorites. And He doesn’t want us to play them, either. The book of James says there’s no place for discrimination or favoritism in the body of Christ. As he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works,” Ron challenges us to take a hard look at how we treat the people around us and, if necessary, make changes.
You can read about it, think about it, and talk about it. Or you can get out there and just do it. The word “religion” has a negative connotation in the world, and if you think about it, we don’t even like to use it in the church. But genuine religion doesn’t mean what we might think. As you’ll see today, it’s a transformational experience that leads to a life of submission to Jesus Christ and service to everyone else.
When your mouth is open, your ears might as well be closed. There’s a time for talking, and a time for listening. And because God gave us two ears and only one mouth, we should probably do a whole lot more of the latter. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
Tired of being reeled in by temptation? With God’s help, you don’t have to take the bait. First, there’s desire within us. Next, there’s deception around us. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at what comes next as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
You don’t have to leave your house to find temptation. In fact, you don’t even have to leave your own mind. Temptation is all around us. On our TV screens, out in public, in our heads. Wherever we are, there it is. If you want a strategy to overcome temptation, or if you’d like to fine-tune the one you have, you’ve come to the right place. Because today, Ron takes you to the book of James to share some keys to winning this battle.
When life falls apart, you don’t have to. Today, Ron shares an important message about the power of perseverance, as outlined for us in the book of James. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
Christian joy is not based on circumstance. You can have it regardless of circumstance. Life is filled with challenges. You may lose a friend, a job, or a marriage. But if you do, will you lose your faith? Today, Ron challenges you to let the trials of life perfect you and draw you into a more intimate walk with God.
Jesus may already be your Redeemer. The question is, have you made Him your ruler? When we profess our faith in Christ, we become his brothers and sisters. Like James, we’re His siblings, but we’re also His servants, called to demonstrate our faith by doing good works to help others. In other words, Jesus is more than our friend, our brother, and our Savior. He is also our Lord.
You begin your Christian life by grace, through faith. And you grow in your Christian walk by grace through faith. And that faith always includes action. Christianity is a belief system. It begins in the mind and heart, but it shouldn’t end there. We prove what we believe by what we do. Coming up next, Ron kicks off a brand new teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. That’s First Corinthians two, nine, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, in Psalm twenty-three, King David wrote about his future dwelling place, his eternal home in heaven with God. Today, Ron gives us a glimpse, but only a glimpse, of what that home might be like. Let’s listen closely as he wraps up his teaching series, “Psalm Twenty-Three and Me: Living the Good Life With the Good Shepherd.”
If you’ve ever gone house hunting, you’ve seen your share of starter homes, single-family homes, even dream homes. But today you’ll hear all about your forever home, right here on Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, in the last sentence of the last verse of Psalm twenty-three, King David writes, “And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” What did he mean when he wrote that sentence? For answers, stay with us now as Ron continues in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with the Good Shepherd.”
“Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.” That’s Psalm twenty-three, verse six, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, if you’re a believer in Christ, the Lord’s goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of yourlife, too, even on the days when He seems far away. Today, Ron explains how the goodness and mercy of God work together for our good, as he continues his series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with the Good Shepherd.”
Every good shepherd has at least one sheepdog. They’re invaluable because they help keep the flock together and moving in the right direction. Today, we’ll discover that God has a couple of sheepdogs of His own. Ron tells us all about them today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with the Good Shepherd.”
You’ve heard the expression, “Count Your Blessings”. But how often do you do it? You know, if you did an honest accounting of all the blessings God has given you, you wouldn’t have anywhere near enough fingers and toes. God is the most generous person you’ll ever know. Ron offers proof today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
Some people say their glass is half empty. Others prefer to call it half full. But, in case you didn’t know, there is a third option. In Psalm twenty-three verse five, David says, “My cup runneth over.” It’s a testament to the never-ending generosity of God, the Good Shepherd. And if you’re a believer in Christ, David’s Good Shepherd is your Good Shepherd. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with the Good Shepherd.”
Speaking to God in Psalm twenty-three, verse five, King David says, “You anoint my head with oil.” What does that mean for us in practical terms? Perhaps more than you might have guessed. Coming your way next, Ron takes an in-depth look at what this anointing oil produces in our lives, as he continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
Shepherds will often anoint a sheep’s head with oil to fend off disease. God does the same thing when He anoints your head with oil. If the rod and staff are part of God’s toolbox, anointing oil is part of God’s first aid kit. What does that mean for us in our relationship with God? Find out next, as Ron continues in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” That’s Psalm twenty-three, five, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, King David had his fair share of enemies. And, if you’re a believer in Christ, so will you. But as you’ll see today, your real enemy might not be who you think it is. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
In Psalm twenty-three verse five, King David says, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” Well, you don’t have to be a foodie to know that if God’s making dinner, it will be the best meal you’ve ever had. Coming your way next, Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Psalm Twenty-Three and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.” Along the way, he’ll explain what King David meant when he wrote this passage, and how it applies to you and me.
Shepherds have two critical tools with them at all times: a rod and a staff. King David writes about these tools when he tells God, the Good Shepherd, “Your rod and your staff comfort me.” In our last broadcast, Ron talked about the rod of correction and protection. Today, he turns his attention to the Good Shepherd’s staff, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
The tools of the Shepherd’s trade, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, we come to the second half of Psalm twenty-three, verse four, “thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” How does the Lord use these tools in our lives? And how does He use them in a way that brings us comfort? Find out next, as Ron continues in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
The phrase “fear not” is found three hundred and sixty-five times in the Bible, one for each day of the year. One of the reasons God spends so much time telling us not to be afraid is because in the flesh, we’re prone to being afraid. Fear of death. Fear of the valley. Fear of failure. Fear of success. How does fear compete with faith? And what did King David say about fear? Find out next, as Ron continues in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me. Psalm twenty-three, verse three tells us that God leads us down the path of righteousness. And then, suddenly, in verse four, we’re told that the path of righteousness sometimes takes us to a valley, a dangerous and frightening place, but a place where King David says he has no fear because the Lord is with him. It’s one of the most beautiful passages in all of Scripture, and Ron unpacks it today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is a way to death.” That’s Proverbs fourteen, twelve, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. If the way you thought was right turns out to be wrong, how can you make things right again? You do it by obeying the Holy Spirit. Ron shows you how next, as he continues his series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
Have you ever been stuck in a rut? Are you stuck in one now? Dr. Ron Jones wants to help you get out. You know, sheep will often keep going back to the same grazing location until there’s nothing left for them to eat. And even then, they’ll keep going back. Sounds a bit like what we’ve all done from time to time, repeating the same mistakes over and over, even after the thrill was gone. But Ron hasgood news for anyone who has ever wandered away from God and gotten stuck in this kind of rut. And he shares it next, in his continuing series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
You can restore a piece of furniture, a musical instrument, or even a house. But only God can restore a soul. Psalm twenty-three, verse three begins with these four words: “He restores my soul.” Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at what this restoration process looks like, as he continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
If you’ve ever made a mistake from which you thought you’d never recover, if you’ve ever wandered so far away from God you weren’t sure how to get back, Dr. Ron Jones has some good news for you today. The first phrase of Psalm twenty-three, verse three, says, “He restores my soul.” Today, Ron shows us what that restoration looks like, how a merciful, forgiving,loving God offers hope and healing, even to those who have gone astray. And at one time or another, we’ve all gone astray.
Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. That’s Matthew eleven, twenty-eight, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. We see a sentiment much like the one Jesus made in Matthew when we turn to Psalm twenty-three, verse two, “He makes me lie down in green pastures.” King David is not talking only about rest, but about nourishment for the body as well as the soul. Ron takes us to this passage next, as he continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
Life can be hectic. Between the long commutes, the frantic work weeks, family obligations, and church involvement, it’s a miracle we ever find time to rest. But God not only wants to give you rest, but He also wants to give you nourishment for your soul, the kind of sustenance that increases your joy level as well as your energy level. Today, Ron takes us to a familiar passage in the book of Psalms, where King David says, “He makes me lie down in green pastures.” What does it mean? What does it look like in real life?
Looking for a little satisfaction today? You can have it, but you’ve got to look in the right place. Well, the Rolling Stones wrote about it more than fifty years ago. Solomon wrote about it centuries before that. They all sought a little satisfaction yet couldn’t find it. But, there is a way to live a contented, satisfied life, and Ron tells you all about it next, as he continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”
Psalm twenty-three is one of the most famous chapters in all the Bible. Dr. Ron Jones takes you there next, in today’s edition of Something Good. Well, you may have already read Psalm twenty-three dozens of times, might have even memorized it. But did you know that Psalm twenty-three is the second of a trio of Psalms that form one complete unit? Stay with us now to learn more, as Ron moves forward with his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life With The Good Shepherd.”
“I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” That’s John ten, verse eleven, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, what did Jesus mean when He said He is the Good Shepherd? And what is it that makes Him good? Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life With The Good Shepherd.”
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. That’s the way one of the most popular chapters in all the Bible begins. Psalm 23 is a short chapter, only six verses, but it packs plenty of punch. Over the course of the next month, Ron takes a deep dive into this Psalm of David, showing us what it means for Jesus to be our Good Shepherd, and for us to be His sheep. To get things started today, Ron takes us to John chapter ten and to Christ’s own words.
What if I told you that you could tell your emotions how to feel? Believe it or not, that’s what the writer of Psalm forty-three did. He went down into the depths of his inner being to tell his emotions exactly how to feel. How can you learn to live that way? Find out next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living And Loving From A Healthy Soul.”
Are you sad and depressed today? Is your soul cast down? If you’re in need of comfort and encouragement, the book of Psalms, the Hebrew Songbook, is one of the best places to go. Today, Ron takes you to Psalms forty-two and forty-three to help you rediscover the joy God wants to give you. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving From A Healthy Soul.”
When you consider the sin of this world and the growing rebellion against God, you have a choice. You can get mad at the darkness, or you can be the light. We’re all emotional beings, to one degree or another, and we’re all passionate about something. Jesus was particularly passionate about the lost. He grieved them so deeply that He served them all His life before laying down His life for their sake. Today, Ron challenges you to ask the Lord to help you have that kind of genuine passion for the lost. Stay with us now as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving From a Healthy Soul.”
Emotions are not a bad thing in and of themselves. But we get into trouble when we allow our feelings to dictate our behavior. So, what does it look like to be emotionally healthy? The place to start is by looking at the life of Jesus. That’s exactly where we’re headed next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving From a Healthy Soul.”
How to exercise “Soul Care” on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. During His life on Earth, Jesus took care of His soul in four distinct ways. But He was doing more than looking out for Himself, He was showing us how to take care of our souls. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving From a Healthy Soul.”
You may exercise regularly and eat healthy to take care of your body. But what’s the best way to take care of your soul? Today, Ron wants to help you learn how to practice what he calls “soul care.” He’ll take you to several passages of Scripture that explain how to care for your soul. He’ll also show you how Jesus cared for His own soul. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving from a Healthy Soul.”
Coming up next, Ron explains how to live and love from a healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy heart. Now, from his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving from a Healthy Soul,” here’s Ron with part four of his Something Good Radio message, “The Total Human Being.”
The Christian life is made up of two distinct components. Salvation, a one-time event in which your soul is eternally saved. And sanctification is a lifetime process in which you’re continually learning how to honor God with your mind, heart, and body. Over the past couple of days, Ron has talked in depth about the salvation of our souls, the most critical decision we’ll ever make. But once it’s been made, once our soul is saved and healthy, it’s time to address the other parts of our being: mind, heart, and body. Today, Ron shows you how to honor God in these three areas as he continues his teaching series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving from a Healthy Soul.”
Consider the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, chapter eight, verses thirty-six and thirty-seven, “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in return for his soul?” Well, the questions Jesus raised here in Mark’s Gospel were--of course--rhetorical. There is nothing on Earth more valuable than the human soul. It’s not something we have, it’s what we are, the very essence of our being. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “Inside Out: Living and Loving from a Healthy Soul.”
Money. Power. Looks. Fame. The world focuses primarily on the external. But God tells us that life with Him must be lived from the inside out. So, what does it mean to have an inside-out perspective on life? How do we go about living that way? Ron dives into these and other candid questions next, as he launches his brand-new teaching series, “Inside Out: Living And Loving From A Healthy Soul.”
Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. We read those words in Matthew twenty-five, verse thirty-two. What does it mean, and when does this judgment take place? Answers come your way next, as Ron wraps up his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with Him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. That’s Matthew twenty-five, thirty-one, and this is Something Good. Just days before Jesus went to the cross to pay for the sin of mankind, He said these words to His disciples in what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Today, Ron takes us there, to that day of both joy and judgment, as he continues his teaching series, “What on Earth is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
"Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of much. Now enter into the joy of your Master." Would you like to hear Jesus say those words to you at the end of the age? If so, stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
What does it mean to be faithful? Today, Ron explores one of the most well-known parables of Jesus. It’s about stewardship, money management, but most of all, it’s about being faithful in all things, just as God is always faithful to us.
The difference between religion and redemption, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good Radio. In Matthew chapter twenty-five, Jesus shares the Parable of the Ten Virgins with His disciples. It’s a story about marriage, but more importantly, about the relationship between Jesus and His bride, the church. Ron unpacks this parable today as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
When Jesus comes again, He will return like a thief in the night. He’ll also be coming like a groom for His bride. Well, what does marriage have to do with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? Perhaps much more than you may have guessed. Ron dives into the subject next, as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. In Luke twenty-one, verse twenty-seven, Jesus spoke those words in reference to His Second Coming, a future event described as the most climactic in human history. No one knows the day or the hour, but the question Ron wants to ask you today is, in light of what will happen then, how should you be living now?
The secret things belong to the Lord our God. Deuteronomy twenty-nine, twenty-nine. What are these secret things God is keeping to Himself? Well, there’s one thing in particular, about which almost all of us, believers and unbelievers alike, have been curious for Centuries. Even the angels don’t have the answer. Ron takes us to heaven’s most closely guarded secret next, as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
The prophets spoke of it in the Old Testament. Angels have made reference to it in the book of Acts. Jesus talked about it Himself in the Olivet Discourse. The Second Coming of Christ, on today’s edition of Something Good. The Second Coming of Jesus is mentioned almost two thousand times in Scripture. When God talks about something that much, He’s trying to get our attention. Ron takes us to this prophecy next, as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
Today, Ron takes us to what will be the most climactic event in human history as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.” Brace yourself, today’s message promises to be one you won’t soon forget.
"Therefore God will send them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth." That’s Second Thessalonians chapter two, and this is Something Good. Well, those are ominous words from the book of Second Thessalonians. But make no mistake, in the last days there will be strong delusion, and God is the one who will send it. But there is good news, and plenty of it, and it comes your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
It’s been called the darkest hour in human history. It hasn’t taken place yet, but it will, maybe sooner than we think. Today, Ron takes us to Matthew chapters twenty-four and twenty-five, a section of Scripture known as the Olivet Discourse. Included in this passage is a word of warning and a word of encouragement. “In this world you will have tribulation,” Jesus said, “but take heart; I have overcome the world.”
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Jesus said those words at the Mount of Olives, as recorded in Matthew chapter twenty-four, verse seven. In light of these and other signs of the end of the age, how shall we now live? Ron gives us three practical answers to that question next, as he continues his series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
Looking for a sign? Let’s explore a few signs that the end might be near, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Just a few days before Jesus went to the cross on our behalf, some of the disciples sat with Jesus on the Mount of Olives and asked, “What will be the sign of your coming at the end of the age?” Ron explores the Lord’s answer next, as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
God’s Word says we’re already living in the last days, that period of time between the first and second coming of Christ. But are we living in the final days of the last days? Well, people have been asking that question for almost two thousand years. Today, Ron shares his thoughts on where we stand in prophetic history as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
Are we living in the last days? Well, when you look at all that’s been happening in the world for the past year or so, wars and rumors of war, a worldwide pandemic, cultural and social unrest, you can’t help but wonder if this is the beginning of the end. Today, Ron takes us back two thousand years, to the Olivet Discourse, when Jesus spoke of events that may very well be happening right before our eyes.
“For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations,’ says the Lord of Hosts.” That’s Malachi chapter one, verse eleven, and this is Something Good Radio. About four hundred years before the birth of Christ, the people of Israel had lost their passion for serving God. And in His last words to the Israelites for more than four Centuries, the Lord sent the prophet Malachi to remind them what He had done for them, and what He will do for them in the future. Ron takes us to these last words next, as he continues his teaching series, "The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
Have you ever felt like God doesn’t love you? If so, you’re not alone. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament and the last words God spoke to His people for more than 400 years. What were His final words? What did God say to a nation that had grown apathetic and corrupt, and had begun questioning God’s love for them? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
God keeps His covenant with us even when we disobey. But there is a cost to disobedience. The prophet Zachariah warned the Israelites about the consequences of sin and disobedience. But he also spoke of a faithful God who will one day keep every promise He has ever made. Ron takes us to the book of Zachariah next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
Even when we don’t honor our covenant with God, He remains faithful to His covenant with us. Isn’t that good news? God remembers His covenant promises and keeps them, no matter how many times we fail. Coming up next, Ron takes us to the book of Zachariah and to a wonderful reminder that God always honors His commitments.
Let me ask you, what are your priorities in life? The top five or six things that are especially important to you? Today, Ron takes us once again to the book of Haggai, when God sends the prophet to Israel to help put their priorities back in order. His message was relevant then, and it’s still relevant now. Stay right here as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
The book of Haggai often goes unnoticed. It’s a short book, just two chapters, and its content doesn’t seem all that relevant. But even now, centuries later, it still holds many valuable lessons for believers today. Lessons about priorities, problems, perseverance, and the personal relationship God wants to have with us. Ron shares some of those lessons next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
“And no creature is hidden from His sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account.” That’s Hebrews four, thirteen, and this is Something Good Radio. Well, the prophet Zephaniah went to Judah, one of the two divided kingdoms in Israel, to confront them about their sin. Idolatry. child sacrifice, the list goes on and on. Zephaniah warns the people of the impending wrath of God, but he also speaks about the blessings of God. Ron dives into this prophecy next as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
Sin and sin’s ability, on this Monday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, we rarely talk about sin anymore. And we often fail to notice that many of the harsh realities of life are consequences of our sin against God. But God Himself talks about sin many times in His Word. Which is why today, Ron takes us to the book of Zephaniah as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.” It’s a book about the sin of man and the wrath of God, but it’s also a book about the blessings of God.
In chapter one of Habakkuk, the prophet speaks of a confused faith, one with more questions than answers. In chapter two, he talks about a waiting faith. Today, Ron takes us to the good news in chapter three, where the prophet reaches a point of triumphant faith. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
Most of the Old Testament prophets spoke to the people on God’s behalf. But one of them did just the opposite, speaking to God on the people’s behalf. Well, the people in Habakkuk’s day had plenty of burning questions. They wanted to know why there is so much injustice in the world, and why God’s chosen people were being targeted by enemy nations. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Habakkuk, sharing some of the prophet’s questions as well as God’s answers, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
Consider these words from Nahum chapter one, verse three. “The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.” What is this Divine wrath the prophet Nahum warns us about? And who are the wicked people for whom this wrath is appointed? Answers are headed your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
God is a loving God. Merciful. Patient. Kind. But He can also be wrathful. We don’t like talking about the wrath of God. We’d rather focus on His grace, His compassion, His goodness, and mercy. But wrath is a very real part of His character. What does that wrath look like? For whom is it reserved? Ron has answers coming your way next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
"And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." That’s Micah six, eight, and thisis Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, what does it mean to do justice? To love mercy? To walk humbly with your God? What do these three qualities look like in day to day life? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, ““Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
God sent the prophet Jonah to deliver a stern message to the rebellious people of Nineveh. Dr. Ron Jones shares their response to that message next, on this Thursday edition of Something Good. Today, we return to the book of Jonah and to his warning to Nineveh about the impending consequences of their sin. It’s a story of obedience, of repentance, and the God of second chances.
It’s the greatest fish story ever told, and it comes your way next, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Today, we come to the story of Jonah, a runaway prophet who spent three days living in the belly of a great fish. This three-day period foreshadows Christ Himself and offers practical lessons for us today.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” Jesus said those words in His Sermon on the Mount. But the idea was communicated centuries earlier through the prophet Obadiah. That’s where Ron takes us next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
It began as a sibling rivalry. It culminated, generations later, in a declaration of war. The bad blood between Jacob and his older brother, Esau, is one of the more well-known stories in the Old Testament. And even though the two brothers made amends, a time came when the descendants of Esau sought to destroy the descendants of Jacob. That’s when God stepped in, speaking to the Edomites through the prophet Obadiah. Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
We often say, “God bless America.” We sing “God Bless America.” But does our nation really deserve God’s blessing? Today, Ron takes us to the book of Amos, where God shares a rather sobering message with the nation of Israel, one that He could very easily give to our own nation today. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
The prophet Amos was something of a country preacher. A man of modest means called to take the word of the Lord to eight nations during a period of great prosperity and affluence. But it was also a time marked by greed, exploitation of the poor, and a rather severe moral decline. What was Amos’ message, and how does it apply to us today? Ron has answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.” That’s Joel, two, twenty-five, and this is Something Good. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Joel, a prophecy that speaks of devastation upon the nation of Israel, but also the promise of God’s Divine restoration. And when God restores, it always exceeds that which was once lost.
For the day of the Lord is coming. For it is at hand. What exactly is the day of the Lord? When will it take place? What does it mean for believers in Christ? What about those who don’t believe in Christ? For answers, Ron takes us to the book of Joel today as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
God’s grace and mercy are two sides of the same coin. By His grace He gives us what we don’t deserve. By His mercy He withholds what we do deserve. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Hosea, which gives us a beautiful picture of the mercy of God. Time and again the nation of Israel breaks its covenant with God through sin and rebellion. And yet, God says through the prophet Hosea that He will not come against His children in wrath.
Today, Ron kicks off his journey through the Minor Prophets as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” We begin with the book of Hosea, where we find two unusual love stories, one between Hosea and his wife, Gomer, the other between God and the nation of Israel.
What’s the difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow? Jeremiah has been called the weeping prophet. He was grief-stricken over the spiritual decline of God’s chosen nation Israel, and he wrote about it in the book of Lamentations. His was a godly sorrow, one that motivated him to encourage Israel to repent. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Major Prophets.”
When was the last time you experienced deep sorrow or grief? The prophet Jeremiah was grief-stricken over the spiritual decline of the nation of Israel. So he took pen to parchment and wrote the book of Lamentations, a passionate expression of sorrow or grief. But in the midst of all this sorrow, we find something else altogether. Hope. That’s where Ron takes us today, to a place called Hope, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Major Prophets.”
“For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” That’s Jeremiah thirty-one, thirty-four, and this is Something Good. When Israel broke their covenant with God, the Lord kept His end of the bargain. He forgave them, He remembered their sin no more, and then He promised to one day launch a whole new covenant with them. Today, Ron explores God’s forgiveness, His new covenant, and what it means for you and me.
God is always up to something good. And sometimes, He’s up to something new. Well, Jeremiah was called by God to be a prophet to the Jewish people at the age of twenty-one. He was tough, yet tender. Some have even called him the “weeping prophet.” Part of his message to Israel was that God would one day do a brand new thing for His chosen people. Ron takes us to the book of Jeremiah next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Major Prophets.”
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed”. With those words, the prophet Isaiah showed us our deep need for salvation … and spoke of the only Person, Jesus Christ, who could give it to us. Ron explores two key ideas from Isaiah today, the depavity of man, and the deliverance of man, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Major Prophets.”
Today, Ron explores the book of Isaiah, the first of the Major Prophets of the Old Testament, and the first book in Road Trip Number Four of his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Major Prophets.” Pay close attention today. As Ron will tell you in just a few moments, if you master the book of Isaiah, you will understand the heart of God and the heart of His prophetic message.
If you were with us yesterday, you may remember that Ron began sharing a list of things that can help married couples stay together for a lifetime. He got about halfway through these critical steps, taken from the Song of Solomon chapter eight, before we ran out of time. Today, Ron picks up right where he left off, as he closes out his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon
Today, we come to the final message in Ron’s teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom From The Song of Solomon.” It’s a two-part message, so we’ll wrap it up on our next broadcast.
As married couples enter their later years, the passion can sometimes get lost. But it doesn’t have to. Ron says there are ten qualities of a vintage marriage, and he shares them with you next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
If you’ve lost the sizzle in your marriage and you want to get it back, you’re in the right place. Because today on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones has the spark to help you start that fire all over again. Up next, Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.” Along the way, he’ll help you recapture the love and intimacy you may have lost in your marriage. It takes a little work to get the job done. But as you’ll soon find out, it’s not nearly as difficult as you might think.
There’s just no getting around it. If you’re married, you will have conflict. But one of the ways to turn these valleys into victories is to remember why you married one another in the first place. Today, Ron takes a deep dive into the subject of conflict resolution as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
If you thought marriage would be a happily ever after, it’s not your fault. Truth is, you’ve been lied to. You’ll find it on the silver screen, in the steamy romance novel, and in society in general, the false notion that the honeymoon will never end. Today, Ron gives you the truth: conflict is not only a normal issue in marriage, but it’s often a necessary one. And when it finds its way into your marriage, there are a few biblical ways to resolve it.
Satan may try to pervert it. But God is the One who created it. Let’s talk about the marriage bed on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, Ron takes us to Song of Solomon chapter four to tell us about one of the greatest needs husbands have in their marriage, the need for sexual fulfillment. Believe it or not, the Bible offers some keen insight as to what marital intimacy can and should look like. Ron shares more today as he continues his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
For the past couple of days, we’ve talked about what wives need from their husbands. Men, now it’s your turn. Today, Ron turns his attention to the needs of husbands and how wives are uniquely gifted to meet those needs. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
They say men are from Mars and women are from Venus. But marriages have to be lived out right here on Earth! It’s no secret that men and women don’t always understand one another. But God does, and He’s given us a blueprint for marriage that works. For the next couple of days, Ron takes us to the Song of Solomon to show what wives need from their husbands.
No one becomes a doctor or an attorney overnight. It takes years of hard work and perseverance. The same is true of being a good spouse. Much like your professional life, the work you put into being a good spouse should start long before you’re married. Today, you’ll be reminded that being married and healthy begins by being single and healthy.
Do you want to be a good marriage partner? The place to start is by being a good dating partner. You know, there’s an art to dating … and it’s something of a lost art. Coming up next, Ron shares some wise words about dating as he continues his series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
If the grass looks greener on the other side, you might be too far away to see its true color. No matter what it may look like from a distance, every yard, every patch of grass, has its share of brown spots. Tend to your own yard, your own marriage, because you won’t find anything better anywhere else. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
From the silver screen to the small screen to the little black book, many have tried and failed to find true love. Usually, because they don’t know what true love means. If you really want to know what true love is, why not go to the One who created us in the first place? That’s what Ron does today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
If you want to read a good love story, check out the Song of Solomon. It’s better and truer than anything you’ll find in the secular market. Today, Ron has a special message for all you men out there as he continues his series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
What does it take to make a good marriage? The secret to having a healthy marriage isn’t much of a secret. The blueprint has been around for thousands of years. Today, Ron takes us to the Song of Solomon and to an in-depth look at God’s blueprint for marriage.
The institution of marriage is in real trouble in America. The one is becoming two again in record numbers. How can we reverse this trend? Is it possible to have strong, intimate, and godly marriages in such a divorce-minded culture? Ron believes it is, and he’ll tell you why today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
Love songs come and go. This one came and stayed. The Word of God has withstood the test of time. It’s relevant. It’s redemptive. It’s even romantic. It’s God’s love letter to you, and it includes a love song, the Song of Solomon, that we might call an owner’s manual for love and marriage. Today, Ron begins to unpack this timeless love song as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom From The Song of Solomon.”
If you want to know how marriage was designed, who better to ask than the Designer Himself? From the very beginning, God had a vision for He wanted marriage to look like. Our culture has, in many ways, made a mockery of God’s design. But make no mistake, the Word of God is crystal clear on what marriage should look like. Stay with us as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
If you think you have a plan for your dream marriage, you should hear God’s! From the very beginning, God had a plan for marriage, a dream, if you will, for what it should look like. And for the next few weeks, Ron will share that dream with us in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.”
In Ecclesiastes five, verse ten, King Solomon write, “He who loves money never has money enough.” Consider the negative impact of greed. It can divide churches, ruin families, and severely impact your fellowship with God. Today, Ron tells us how we can defeat this deadly sin as we wraps up his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
It is not money, but the love of money, that is the root of all kinds of evil. Well, for the past two weeks, Ron has taken us on a journey through the first six of the seven deadly sins. Pride. Anger. Lust. Laziness. Gluttony. Envy. Today, we come to the seventh and final one on the list, greed. God’s Word has much to say about this dangerous vice, and the corresponding virtue that we can use to defeat it. Ron takes us there next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
Every vice has a corresponding virtue, one that can help you overcome the sins that drag you down. Today Ron takes us once again to the deadly sin of envy, a vice that can lead to all sorts of larger problems, including murder, adultery and idolatry. What virtue we can use to defeat the deadly sin of envy? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
In James chapter four, verse two, we read these sobering words. “You envy and cannot obtain, so you quarrel and fight." Well, today Ron takes us to the sixth of the seven deadly sins, envy. It stirs up untold amounts of strife, in relationships … in the church, and as we’ve seen for the past few months, it can divide our society at large. How can we overcome this deadly sin? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”
Self-indulgence is the enemy of self-denial and the enemy of Christian discipleship. Those aren’t my words. They’re the words of Dr. Ron Jones, lead pastor at Atlantic Shores Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Well, the world preaches self-improvement and self-indulgence. Jesus taught self-denial and self-restraint. Today, Ron sets the table for us on how to overcome the deadly sin of gluttony.
You may think of gluttony as being addicted to eating too much. But there’s far more to it than that. The Bible has plenty to say about gluttony. And when it does, it always includes words of caution about drunkenness. The word gluttony not only excessive eating, but excessive drinking. Ron digs in to the subject of gluttony today, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come on you like a robber, and want like an armed man.” That’s Proverbs twenty-four, verses thirty-three and thirty-four. Being lazy may seem harmless enough … certainly not as destructive as anger, pride or lust. But there’s a reason slothfulness finds its way into this list of the seven deadly sins. Ron tells us all about it next, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
Today, we come to the fourth of the seven deadly sins, laziness. At first blush, laziness doesn’t seem to be all that problematic. Certainly not at destructive as pride, anger or lust, the first three deadly sins. But as you’ll see during the next half hour or so, perpetual laziness brings with it some rather severe consequences.
And Jesus said, “If your right eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it away.” What did Jesus mean by those words? Are we to take them literally? Ron has answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
“You have heard it said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Well, Jesus gave a lot of hard sayings during His life and ministry. The one you just heard was one of the hardest. What did He mean? What are the implications for you and me? Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
That which begins in the heart can only be overcome through a change of heart. Anger is like that. It begins in our hearts and, if not kept in check, can lead to angry words, angry actions, or both. To help us overcome this deadly sin, Ron takes us to the words of Jesus as continues his series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
The Bible tells us to be angry but do not sin. The question is, How do we do it. Ron has answers today on Something Good, as he moves ahead to the next stop in his series, Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.” As you’ll see over the next twenty minutes or so, there is a way to manage anger without sinning. There’s even a way to overcome it once and for all.
He was the greatest person who ever lived. He was also the most humble. Jesus, without blemish, without sin, the only begotten Son of God, humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross. Today, Ron shares more about the example of humility Christ gave to us. But first, he points to someone else, a man to whom Jesus gave high praise during His life on Earth. Stay with us here as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming The Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
It was Satan himself who was kicked out of heaven because of his pride. And he has been appealing to our own sense of pride ever since. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones reminds us that pride is not only the first of the seven deadly sins. It’s also the deadliest, because it sets the foundation for all the deadly sins that follow. How can we overcome it once and for all? Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
The greatest threats to the victorious Christian life are the world, the flesh and the devil. But because of Christ, we are already more than conquerors over all three. You may not always feel like a conqueror, but you are. Today, Ron shares the biblical proof for that claim, reminding us of who and what we are in Christ.
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” That’s Romans eight, thirty-seven, and this is Something Good. Back in the Sixth Century, Pope Gregory the First came up with a list of seven deadly sins. Pride, anger, lust, laziness, gluttony, envy, and greed. For the next couple of weeks Ron will take you through each of them, as he shares his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”
Have you ever wondered where the concept of tithing began? Contrary to what you may have heard, it came along well before the Old Testament Law. Today, Ron wraps up his teaching series, “I Resolve,” by reminding us that when God asks us to tithe, He’s not wanting something from us; He’s wanting something for us.
Did you know that the Bible talks more about money than it talks about prayer or about faith? It’s true. There’s a reason why God spends so much time talking to us about the way we view and use money. Today, Ron takes a deep dive into the subject as he continues his teaching series, “I Resolve.”
Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? Maybe the place to start is by learning a little bit about each of them. God’s Word divides the spiritual gifts into three distinct groups, sign gifts, supporting gifts, and serving gifts. Ron takes a look at all three today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “I Resolve.”
You may have already made a few New Year’s resolutions. But were they promises about what you’ve decided to do or predictions about what you hope to do? The word “resolve” means to come to a definite or earnest decision about something. Today, Ron encourages us to resolve to become better stewards of one of the three key areas of our lives, our talent. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “I Resolve."
We often think of time as something we spend. But the Bible tells us that it is something we first have to buy back. So how do we go about the process of buying back our time? The answer comes your way next, as Ron shares five biblical ways to redeem your time. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “I Resolve.”
Made any New Year’s Resolutions for twenty-twenty-six? Well, being resolved is one thing, staying resolved is quite another. We sometimes start off doing really well, but when frustration or complacency set in, we may stop being as diligent as we need to be. Today, Ron wants to encourage you make a specific life change, and he wants to help you make it a permanent one.
“Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus said those words in Matthew chapter five to His disciples and to a great multitude who had gathered there to hear His teaching. But what exactly does this particular teaching mean? How are we to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees? Answers come your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
If you think the New Testament covenant has diminished or replaced the Old Testament law, Jesus would like to have a word with you. In Matthew chapter five, Jesus says very plainly that He did not come to abolish the Old Testament Law, but to fulfill it. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the Lord’s view on the Law, and on righteousness, as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. That’s Matthew five, fourteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. It’s no secret that we live in a fallen, darkened world. Many have grown comfortable in that darkness. What can we do to help? Ron dives into the subject next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From the Sermon on the Mount.”
Over the next few days, Ron shares a few of his best messages from twenty-twenty-five. Each will come from his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on The Mount.” Coming up next, a message about how believers in Christ should impact the world we live in. As you’ll see over the next twenty minutes or so, salt and light are not things Jesus asked us to become. They are what we already are.
“Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” Coming up next, Dr. Ron Jones wraps up his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas,” with an in-depth look at the Light of the World, Jesus Christ Himself, but also the darkness into which He was born.
In the Gospel of Matthew, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and instructed him to take Mary and the infant Jesus to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. The story is beautifully depicted in a painting by Rembrandt called “Joseph’s Dream.” Ron takes us to this beautiful work of art and to this story as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
On the day our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world, most of the world didn’t even notice. The question all of us should ask ourselves is this: How often do we make room in our lives for Jesus? In the midst of our hectic schedules, with all that’s going on between work and family and all the rest of it, how much time do we carve out to spend with the Creator of the universe? Ron shares some great insight on this very subject next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
The Lord works in mysterious ways, but He also works in providential ways. We know the Lord has done miracles. We read about them in Scripture, and some of us may have experienced one in our own lives. But much of the time, God works providentially, which is to say He works behind the scenes. Pastor Ron shares a great example of the providential work of God today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
As human beings, what do you believe to be our greatest need? It’s a fascinating question, isn’t it? What do we need most? I think you’ll want to stay here with us for today’s message, as Ron talks about our greatest need and how God chose to fill it.
If you want to see a living portrait of faith, look no further than Joseph. We’ve all been let down or disappointed before. Plans we made got changed, someone canceled on us at the last minute, and maybe there were a few hard feelings. The next time that happens, let’s take a lesson from Joseph, step out in faith, and let God do what He does best. Joseph’s story comes your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Art of Christmas.”
Fra Angelico’s painting, “Annunciation,” is a beautiful visual commentary on the biblical scene in which the angel Gabriel tells Mary she will give birth to the Messiah. Today, Ron highlights five aspects of Jesus Christ as foretold by Gabriel in his appearance to Mary. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
The greatest artist in history is none other than the Lord of all Creation, God Himself. But throughout the ages, He has gifted human artists with the talent to tell His story. For the next week or so, Ron will take us to four scenes in the Bible, and to four artistic renderings that serve as visual commentaries to those passages of Scripture. It’s all part of his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas,” and it starts right now.
Through faith in Christ, you can have peace in your heart. But one day Jesus will bring about a peace on Earth unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The Book of Revelation talks about the Millennial reign of Christ, a one-thousand-year period in which He will establish His kingdom on Earth. It will be a time of unprecedented peace, ushered in by the Prince of Peace. Stay with us now to learn more about this future kingdom, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
For unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given. And He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. That’s Isaiah nine, six, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, Ron continues his important teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.” There are seven names in all, and today we come to number four on the list, the “Prince of Peace.”
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. But what does that really mean? The truth is Jesus had no beginning and He will have no end. He always was and forever will be. Ron unpacks this idea for us next, as he continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Some are absent. Others are violent. Some try hard but fail all too often. But there’s one Father who never fails. It’s no secret that we have a fatherhood problem here in America, one that often leads to a host of other societal issues. But Ron has some good news for us today. God has promised to be a father to the fatherless. He’s a good father, a perfect father, and best of all, He’s an everlasting Father. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Behold, God is mighty and does not despise any. He is mighty in strength and wisdom. That’s Job thirty-six, five, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Every protagonist in literature, every superhero in comic books and movies, has at least one weakness. Superman is made weak by kryptonite. Batman is limited by his own human nature. But Jesus has no tragic flaws. He has no flaws, period. He is mighty in works, mighty in wisdom, mighty, even in His mercy and compassion. He is truly the only Superhero who has ever lived. Coming your way next, Ron takes an in-depth look at this aspect of our Lord’s character, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
God is known by many names. One of them is Wonderful Counselor. If ever the world needed Divine Counsel, it’s now. And God is always willing and able to share it. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Down through the ages, God has been known by many names. Dr. Ron Jones takes us through a few of them next, on today’s edition of Something Good. The names of God are not mere titles or labels. They’re a reflection of who He is, His character and nature. Coming up next, Ron takes us to the book of Isaiah to identify seven names associated with the birth of Christ. Stay with us now as he kicks off his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men. Well, the world cannot always be at peace. But you can. No matter what’s going on around you, you can always have peace within you. But there’s only one way to get it, and only one person who can give it.
Glory to God in the highest; and on Earth, peace, good will towards men. Well, Ron has some good news for you today as he continues his teaching series, “The Gifts of Christmas.” You don’t have to fight the crowds or the traffic to get the gifts God has for you. He’ll deliver them right to your front door.
One depends on circumstances. The other can exist in spite of them. The difference between happiness and joy, on this Thursday edition of Something Good. What if I told you that joy is something you can choose? A gift from God, freely given, and you can have it simply by deciding to. Today, Ron talks about the difference between joy and happiness as he continues his series, “The Gifts of Christmas.”
God has given us four wonderful gifts through His Son Jesus Christ. The first is His love, and in our last message, Ron gave us some great insight into that special gift. Today, he moves on to gift number two, the joy that only comes to those who believe in Jesus.
Nothing can keep you from the love of God, not even your own mistakes. The love of God is something we’ll never fully comprehend on this side of heaven. It’s incomprehensible, immeasurable, inseparable, and best of all, it’s unconditional. Today, Ron explores God’s unconditional love as he continues his series, “The Gifts of Christmas.”
For God so loved the world that He gave. Christmas is a time of giving, and it began more than two thousand years ago with God’s greatest gift to us, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Today, Ron begins his teaching series, “The Gifts of Christmas,” an in-depth look at four of the greatest gifts God offers all those who come to faith in Christ.
Coming your way next, Ron takes us to the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the conclusion of his important teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
Billions of Christians are waiting for the glorious return of Jesus Christ. And yet many do not understand how it will occur. Coming your way next, Ron takes us to the book of Revelation, and to an unveiling of the mystery behind our Lord’s future return to Earth at the end of days. What will it look like? What are the events that will take place leading up to Christ’s return? Stay with us now to find out, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
How can you stand firm against false teaching? How can you recognize it, then refute it when it comes? Ron has answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
False teaching has been around in the church almost since its inception. Do you know biblical Christianity well enough to recognize false teaching? Today, on Something Good, Ron shows us how to identify the lie, and challenges us to have the courage to call it out.
If we took a peek inside your home church, what would we see? Well, what is the purpose of the local church? What should be its priorities? Ron answers those questions and more today, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
The Christian church is worldwide, but it’s also localized. We have community churches, life groups, small group Bible studies. But no matter where they are, however large or small, they should have at least one practical thing in common. Dr. Ron shares that commonality with us next, as he continues his Something Good Radio teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
The book of First John has a lot to say about loving God, and about walking in fellowship with God. How are these two things related? What do that look like in real life? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible.”
You may already have a relationship with Jesus. But do you have a close, intimate relationship with Him? Well, the book of First John was written by the disciple whom Jesus loved. He was extremely close to Jesus, so close, in fact, that Jesus entrusted His mother, Mary, to John as He was dying four our sin on the cross of Calvary. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones encourages you to develop that kind of relationship with your Savior, and shows you what that intimate fellowship looks like. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
It’s hard to spot a lie if you don’t know the truth. False teachers have tried to contaminate the church of Jesus Christ for more than two thousand years. Today, Ron tells us how we can recognize their deception, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
Counterfeit Christianity has been around almost since the church was founded some two thousand years ago. It feeds on false doctrine. It sows mistrust. It damages the reputation of the church that Jesus is building. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us to the book of Second Peter to show us how to combat this false Gospel, as he continues his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
Today, Ron takes us to the book of First Peter, as he continues his teaching series, "The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.
Let me ask you, what are you hoping for today? And to what are you clinging for that hope? Well, for many, hope is nothing more than wishful thinking. But genuine hope, biblical hope, is something else entirely. What does that kind of hope look like? On what or whom is it based? Find out next, as Ron takes us to the book of First Peter in his continuing teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
When trials come your way, do you falter, or do you flourish? Well, life is filled with challenges. Maybe you’ll lose a job. Maybe you’ll lose a marriage. The question is, will you lose your faith. Today, Ron takes us to the book of James in his continuing series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen. Today we return to the Book of Hebrews, a book known for it’s beautiful portrait of the supremacy of Jesus Christ. It’s also a theological treatise on the subject of faith. You just heard what faith is. Now let’s see what faith looks like, as Ron continues his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
Is it possible to believe in the facts of Christianity without believing in the Person behind it? Today, Ron launches Road Trip number eight in his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.” He kicks things off with the book of Hebrews, an epistle filled with hard sayings and warnings that many find difficult to understand. It also places great emphasis on the superiority of Jesus Christ.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.”Well, there was a time when all of us were slaves to sin and death. Some still are. But the free gift of God is eternal life. The Apostle Paul wrote about this forgiveness from sin in Romans six, twenty-three, and it’s a message he shared with his final New Testament epistle to his friend, Philemon. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
Freedom, Forgiveness and Second Chances, on today’s edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Do you need forgiveness today? Have you blown your first chance and now find yourself in need of a second? If so, you’ll enjoy today’s message from the book of Philemon. Because it’s all about the beauty of forgiveness and second chances. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
Just as sin brought disorder to an otherwise orderly world, so do we, even as believers in Christ saved by grace through faith, sometimes bring disorder to what God wants to be an ordered church. There is a biblical order to the church, one the Apostle Paul wrote about some two thousand years ago in his letter to Titus. Ron takes us to that epistle today, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
Just as sin brought disorder to an otherwise orderly world, so do we, even as believers in Christ saved by grace through faith, sometimes bring disorder to what God wants to be an ordered church. There is a biblical order to the church, one the Apostle Paul wrote about some two thousand years ago in his letter to Titus. Ron takes us to that epistle today, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. The Apostle Paul wrote those words to Timothy in chapter three of his second letter to the young clergyman. Today, Ron takes us to this important letter, written by Paul near the end of his life. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
C.S. Lewis once said, “You can’t go back and make a new beginning, but you can start right now and make a new ending.” What Lewis was talking about, among other things, was finishing strong. All of us, regardless of our past or our present, can start running our Christian race right now and finish well at the end. The Apostle Paul had just this idea in mind when he wrote the book of Second Timothy. Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a sacred trust, one that should be protected, carefully guarded against any doctrine or any teaching that runs contrary to it. Well, false teaching in the church is nothing new. It’s been around almost since the day the church was born, and it is still prevalent today. How do we guard against it? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
The truth about false doctrine, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, the book of First Timothy was written to a young clergyman in Ephesus who had been mentored by the Apostle Paul. Paul wanted to make it clear that the local church should be properly structured, with elders and deacons carefully chosen on the basis of spiritual maturity. But Paul also warned Timothy as to the dangers of false teaching, urging him to rightly disseminate the Word of God with a mixture of boldness and humility. Paul’s instruction is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. And Ron shares Paul’s wisdom with us next, as he continues his series, "The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.”That’s First Thessalonians four, sixteen, and this is Something Good Radio. Well, the church in Thessalonica had been misinformed about the Second Coming of Christ, and had now grown concerned that their loved ones who had departed were no longer able to be saved. Paul clearly and emphatically addressed those false teachings, and then, for good measure, he added some additional thoughts on the subject of Christ’s second coming.
“We also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it, not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the Word of God.” Well, the Apostle Paul wrote those words to the Thessalonians, a body of believers who had turned from idolatry and begun to worship the true and living God. Paul commended for their strong faith, and yet he also needed to point out a few areas of concern.
You may think you know who you are. But do you know who you are in Christ? Well, before anyone can know who they are in Christ, they first need to know the truth about who Jesus is. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Colossians to identify the truth about Jesus, and the truth about who we are as a result. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
Some two thousand years ago, false teaching had begun to creep its way into the church at Colossae. So the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Colossians to debunk those heretical ideas. What were these false teachings, and how does Paul’s letter apply to us today? Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
How can you find joy in the midst of adverse circumstances? Today, we return to the Book of Philippians, an epistle written by the Apostle while he was in prison. Despite his bleak circumstances, he chose joy. So can we. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice.” Well, when the Apostle Paul wrote those words to the Philippian church, he was under house arrest in Rome. What he wanted the church to understand, what God wants you and me to understand, is that the joy of the Lord is not circumstantial, its intentional. It’s a choice we have the power to make no matter how we feel or what we may be going through.
Returning to the basics of our Christian faith, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, the book of Ephesians can be neatly divided into two sections. In the first three chapter, the Apostle Paul focuses on theology. In the final three chapters he shifts away from doctrine and turns his attention to duty. And one of the first duties he mentions is that all of us are called to be part of a local body of believers.
You may not know it yet, but if you’re a believer in Christ, you have been made spiritually wealthy. Well, the book of Ephesians is one of four prison epistles written by the Apostle Paul. He was under house arrest in Rome when he penned this letter. The Ephesian believers were living like spiritual paupers, and Paul wanted to change their perspective. Perhaps you need a change of perspective today. If so, stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
You can’t get right with God by trying harder or doing better. There is only one way to be reconciled to God, and Dr. Ron Jones shares it with us next, on this Monday edition of Something Good. Some two thousand years ago, early in the Apostle Paul’s ministry, a group of people known as the Judaizers had tainted the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote the book of Galatians, at least in part, to refute those false claims. Ron takes us there today, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
"I do not nullify the grace of God. For if righteousness were through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose." With these words in Galatians five, twenty-one, the Apostle Paul made his position clear. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. But when some began to poison the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul responded swiftly by writing the book of Galatians. Ron takes us there next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” The Book of Second Corinthians is largely dedicated to Paul’s defense of his ministry. But it also contains the largest section on stewardship and financial giving in the entire New Testament. Is tithing strictly an Old Testament idea? Is it part of the Mosaic Law? And is it still relevant today? Decide for yourself, as Ron dives into this passage today as part of his continuing series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
In his first letter to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul was disciplinary. In his second, he was defensive. What changed? The Apostle Paul wasn’t always an apostle. He was once Saul of Tarsus, who persecuted the followers of Christ and did so in the name of God. After his conversion and subsequent rise to a position of authority in the church, some in Corinth still doubted his credentials. Paul wrote Second Corinthians to defend his ministry, and Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
Here in America, if you want to take a trip to Sin City, you’ll go to Las Vegas. But in first century Greece, you’d have gone to Corinth. Corinth was Vegas before Vegas. Prostitution and debauchery ran rampant. And when a little of the pagan Corinthian culture began to infiltrate the church the Apostle Paul had planted there, Paul took pen to parchment and wrote them a letter. What did he tell them, and how much of what he said applies to our culture today? Find out next, in Ron’s continuing series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
Today, we return to the Book of Romans, a theological masterpiece, but one that can often be difficult to read and understand. The letter can be broken down into five parts, sin, salvation, sanctification, the sovereignty of God, and Christian service. It’s those final two, sovereignty and service, that Ron talks about next, as he continues his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
“In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world.” That’s John sixteen, thirty-three, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. You know, we don’t have to go looking for trouble in this life. It was waiting on us before we even showed up. How do we overcome the pain and the struggles this life can often bring? Find out next, as Ron wraps up his important teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
A house is only as good as its foundation. The same is true of your life. In Matthew chapter seven, Jesus goes into great detail about making wise choices. If we do what He asks us to do, it will give us a strong foundation that cannot be shaken when the storms of life come our way. Stay with us now as Ron takes us to the final few verses of Matthew chapter seven in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
Is it possible for you and me to know who is or who isn’t saved by grace through faith in Christ? It’s a fascinating question, and the answer isn’t always easy to articulate. But we’ll try to help you figure it out next, as Ron continues his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
“Beware of false prophets. You will know them by their fruit.” That’s Matthew seven, verses fifteen and sixteen, and this is something good with Dr. Ron Jones. Jesus talked about how you and I can recognize false teachers. Listen to what they say, watch the fruit their lives bear, and that’s how you can tell. But does that mean we can know who has put their faith in Christ and who hasn’t? Do we have the ability to know who will be in heaven? Let’s dive into that tough question today, as Ron moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.” That’s Matthew seven, twelve, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. It’s called the Golden Rule, and it’s one of the most well-known teachings of Christ. But what does it look like in day-to-day life? How can we apply it in our marriages? In our communities? In the workplace? Ron offers his thoughts today in his continuing series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
Walk into any bookstore, and I think you’ll agree. We’ve written far too many books about self-improvement, and not nearly enough about self-denial. In Matthew chapter seven, Jesus gave us what is known in popular culture as the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Ron takes an in-depth look at this teaching next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
Is there anyone in your life who constantly finds fault with you? Do you find yourself pointing out the faults in others? Today, Ron continues his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount,” with an important message about an often-misunderstood word: Tolerance.
In today’s culture, tolerance has come to mean the acceptance of a person’s behavior, no matter what that behavior may be. But that’s not the way Jesus defines it! Up next, Ron takes us to an often misunderstood teaching of Christ found in Matthew chapter six, “Judge not, lest you yourself be judged.” What did He mean? Find out next, in Ron’s continuing series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
People all over the world are consumed with worry about their jobs, their kids, and their health. If you’re one of them, you’ve come to the right place. Because today Ron will share God’s prescription for peace, as he continues his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
“Be anxious for nothing, but in all things by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Avoiding worry isn’t easy, but it is possible. When you pray to your heavenly Father, when you thank Him for all He has done, when you ask Him in faith to take your anxiety, that’s when fear and worry tend to fade away. Ron has more next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
Whoever loves money never has enough. Whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. Those words of wisdom came from Solomon, in Ecclesiastes chapter five verse ten. Today, Ron explains how the love of money can wreak havoc in our relationship with God. It’s all part of his continuing series, “Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount,”and we’ve got that coming to you next.
There’s nothing wrong with having money just as long as money doesn’t have you. In Matthew chapter six, Jesus told us not to store up for ourselves treasures on earth, but to store them in heaven where they can never be lost or stolen. Today, Ron shows us what it looks like to be good stewards of our material wealth as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
“Nevertheless, not My will but Thine be done.” Jesus said those words in the Garden of Gethsemane, on the night before He laid down His life to pay for your sin and mine. But not long before this night in this garden, Jesus gave His disciples a model for prayer. And in that model, what we know as the Lord’s Prayer, we find the words, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Coming your way next, Ron unpacks that phrase and walks us through the rest of the Lord’s Prayer, as he continues his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
If we’re being honest, most of us would say we don’t pray nearly as often, or as effectively, as we should. If you want to revolutionize your prayer life, you’ve picked a great day to be here for Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Because coming up next, he does a deep dive into the prayer Jesus gave His disciples in Matthew chapter six, the Lord’s Prayer. Using the word "prayer" as an acronym (P-R-A-Y-E-R), Ron outlines six key aspects to the prayer over the next two days, as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
“And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others.” In Matthew chapter six, Jesus spoke those words to an extremely large crowd of people on a hillside in Galilee. And on every subject He addressed, from giving to praying to fasting, He spoke not only of right behavior but of right motive. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
The three pillars of Jewish piety, on today’s edition of Something Good. The word piety isn’t used all that often these days, and if it is, it usually has a negative connotation. But two thousand years ago, the word still held its original meaning, which was a heart centered on God. There were three pillars of Jewish piety back then, and Jesus spoke about each of them in Matthew chapter six. Ron takes us there next, in his continuing series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
The Bible says Jesus loved the world, even His enemies. Today, we’ll be challenged to do better at loving ours. You know, when we talk about the enemies of God, we’re really talking about ourselves. That’s what we once were, after all. Enemies of God. But Jesus loved us anyway. How much more should we, being sinners, love the world enough to point it towards a Savior? Ron talks at length today about what it means to love other people, including our enemies.
Killing your enemies on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. When we talk about killing our enemies in the context of Christ’s teaching, what we mean is to kill them with kindness. To overcome evil with good. This is the challenge issued by Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount, when He tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Ron takes you to this hard saying of Jesus next, as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
When was the last time you surprised someone with your generosity? In Matthew chapter five, Jesus introduces a few revolutionary ideas. “Turn the other cheek. Go the extra mile. Give the shirt and the coat.” Ron takes an in-depth look into these hard sayings of Jesus today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
“You have heard that it was said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” How’s that for a hard saying from Jesus? And it’s just one of many from this passage in Matthew chapter five. Ron breaks it all down for us next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
“Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices.” That verse from Colossians chapter one reminds us of what it means to have integrity, and what it looks like in the life of a Christian. Today, Ron moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount, by sharing three critical areas in which integrity is of the utmost importance.
It’s been said that integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching, and it’s true. But in Matthew chapter five, Jesus offered a more thorough view when He instructed us to honor our word, and to do it without taking any sort of oath. “Let your yes be yes and your no be no,” He said. Ron takes a look at this passage in Matthew five today, as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
What did Jesus say about divorce? Perhaps not as much as you would have guessed. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addressed a wide variety of hot-button subjects. Forgiveness. Reconciliation. Lust. Anger. Today, we come to what just might be the hottest button yet. Divorce. What did Jesus say about it, and how are we to interpret it? Ron helps you understand the subject next, as he continues his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
“You have heard that it was said, ‘you shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” That’s one of the most shocking statements Jesus ever made. But what does it mean, exactly? Ron helps us understand this hard saying of Jesus next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
You may already know that, when it comes to human relationships, Jesus put a premium on forgiveness. But He took reconciliation every bit as seriously. Today Ron moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount,” with an in-depth look into the process of reconciliation, and the obstacles we face that sometimes prevent it.
The hard sayings of Jesus, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Jesus spoke with great authority during His earthly ministry. And some of His toughest sayings come to us in Matthew chapters five through seven, the Sermon on the Mount. Ron takes us to a few of those statements today, including Christ’s position on murder, forgiveness, and--perhaps most importantly--reconciliation, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”
“Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus said those words in Matthew chapter five to His disciples and to a great multitude who had gathered there to hear His teaching. But what exactly does this particular teaching mean? How are we to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees? Answers come your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
If you think the New Testament covenant has diminished or replaced the Old Testament law, Jesus would like to have a word with you. In Matthew chapter five, Jesus says very plainly that He did not come to abolish the Old Testament Law, but to fulfill it. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the Lord’s view on the Law, and on righteousness, as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. That’s Matthew five, fourteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. It’s no secret that we live in a fallen, darkened world. Many have grown comfortable in that darkness. What can we do to help? Ron dives into the subject next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From the Sermon on the Mount.”
n Matthew chapter five, Jesus calls His followers the salt of the Earth and the Light of the world. What does it mean to be salt and light? Find out next, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, Ron starts his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount,” with a message about how believers in Christ are to impact our world. As you’ll see over the next twenty minutes, salt and light are not things Jesus asked us to become. Salt and light are what we already are.
If you’re a believer in Christ, you’ll face some persecution. You may not be martyred, but you will be mocked. The question is, how should you respond? Ron answers that question next, as he wraps up his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
Today, we come to the eighth and final Beatitude of Christ, a teaching He gave as part of His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter five. “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,” He said, “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Ron unpacks this teaching today as he continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
Sometimes we don’t have to do a thing for God to bless us. But most of the time, He requires us to do a little hard work. In the home, on the job or at your local church, it’s not always easy to make peace. But God has called us to make every effort to be at peace with all men. How should you go about it? Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
The days of war and conflict will one day be over. In the meantime, God is looking for a few good peacemakers. In the midst of a chaotic and frenzied world, God wants to give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. But you might have to do a little work to get it. Your prescription for peace is up next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
If you want to improve your spiritual vision, if you’d like to have a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, you’re about to find out how. Coming up next, Ron moves ahead in his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus,” by asking you an important question: Do you have a singular devotion to God? If you’re not sure, don’t worry, Ron is about to show you exactly what that kind of lifestyle looks like.
You may have heard the expression, garbage in, garbage out. But it’s far more likely that when garbage comes in, it stays in. You know, God’s Word has a lot to say about purity. But it’s not just our actions that need to be pure. It’s our motives, our thoughts, our hearts, which is why we should be careful what we put in our minds. “Blessed are the pure in heart,” says Jesus, “for they shall see God.” Ron dives into this Beatitude today as he continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
What does the Lord require of you? “To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” One of the toughest things for fallen human beings to do is find the perfect balance between justice and mercy. It’s true in the judicial system, in our parenting, in almost every area of life. Today, Ron gives us some helpful insight as he continues his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
Seasons change, but God’s mercy endures forever. For the past week or so, we’ve been making our way through the first four Beatitudes, each of them related to our relationship with God. Today, we move from the vertical to the horizontal, and those Beatitudes that concern our relationships with people. Up first, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” Stay with us now for more of Ron’s teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
Do you want to live a blessed Christian life? Then drink from the well of Living Water, and never thirst again. Today, Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living the Beatitudes of Jesus.”
So what are you hungry for? If you’re hungry for the wrong things, you’ll never be satisfied. But God has made you a promise. If you’re hungry for His righteousness, if you’re hungry for God Himself, you’ll never go hungry again. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
Jesus could have crushed His enemies with a wave of His hand. Instead, He chose to die for them. That’s what meekness looks like. What does it look like for you? As believers in Christ, we’re called to be imitators of Him. Today, Ron explains what meekness looks like on the job, in the home, and in our relationships in general. Stay with us now for his continuing series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
When Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth,” He left us with two big questions to think about. What is meekness, and what does it mean to inherit the Earth. Ron answers the first of those questions today, as he continues his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
You can be genuinely sorry about your sin. But is it godly sorrow or worldly sorrow? On the night Jesus was taken into custody, Judas betrayed Him, and Peter denied Him. Both were sorry for their sin, but only one of them showed genuine, godly sorrow. Ron explains the difference today as he continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
Some two thousand years ago, on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Jesus delivered the longest recorded message in the Bible. Today, Ron takes us to the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes of Jesus Christ. It’s all part of his continuing series, “Highway To Happiness: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus,” and it starts right now.
The Christian life is a series of paradoxical ideas. The way up is down. The way to victory is to surrender. Coming up next, Ron continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus,” by telling us what it looks like to be poor in spirit. As you follow along, remember, humility is the starting point for anyone who longs for the unbridled joy God longs to give you.
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. What does it look like to humble yourself before God? Jesus gave us part of the answer when He said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit." This is the first Beatitude, found in Matthew chapter five, and Ron takes an in-depth look at it today as he moves ahead in his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
Have you been looking for happiness in all the wrong places? Today, you’ve come to the right place. Coming up next, Ron gives us three principles for pursuing happiness the right way. Three steps that we as believers in Christ should take in order to pursue happiness according to the way and the will of God. It’s all part of his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus,” and it comes your way next.
Whatever name you choose to give it—happiness, blessedness, joy—people pursue it in all sorts of ways. But pursuit is not the same as achievement. The God who created us has given us all the information we need to pursue, and achieve, happiness, and Ron shares it with us today as he begins his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living the Beatitudes of Jesus.”
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.” Jesus spoke those words just before He ascended into heaven, and we find them recorded in Acts chapter one. This set the stage for all that followed. Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Gospels and the Early Church.”
You could argue that the church in the Book of Acts did more for the growth of Christianity than all the generations that have followed put together. How did they do it? Ron calls it the early church IPO, the initial public outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that the first Christians were able to persevere through hardship and persecution to launch the church Jesus promised He would build. Stay with us now as Ron takes us to the Book of Acts in his continuing series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Gospels and the Early Church.”
Why should we believe that Jesus is exactly who He claims to be? Find out next, on this Monday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Gospel of John offers many reasons to believe that Jesus is who He said He was. That was the purpose of John’s writing, to convince his readers to believe that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah. Today, Ron offers some rather convincing proof of Christ’s claim, as he continues his teaching series, ““Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
Seeing is believing. Or is it? Well, to hear the Apostle John tell it, it’s the other way around. Believing is seeing. This truth is echoed throughout the Bible, but the Gospel of John places special emphasis on belief, as well as the Person in whom we should believe. John ultimately takes us to the deep end of theology and philosophy, and we dive into those waters next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
When the days grew near for Jesus to be taken up, He set His face like a flint to go to Jerusalem.” That’s Luke nine, fifty-one, and this is Something Good Radio. Jesus’ spent His entire three-year ministry serving the needs of others. Healing them. Helping them. Teaching them. But He never lost sight of His primary purpose, to go to Jerusalem and give His life for the sins of mankind. The Gospel of Luke highlights Christ’s fierce determination to complete His ultimate task, and Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
One of the things that makes the Gospel of Luke different from the rest of the Gospels is that Luke spends much of his time talking about Christ’s humanity. Yes, our Lord was and is fully God, but He was also fully human, a point Luke emphasizes throughout His Gospel account. Today, Ron takes us to the Gospel of Luke as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
When Jesus came the first time, the Jews expected Him to be a warrior, one who would overthrow the Romans and usher in Israel's golden age. And one day that’s exactly what He will do. But that was not His original purpose. Isaiah chapter fifty-three points us to the purpose of Christ’s First Coming. Not as a soldier but as a servant who would defeat sin, Satan and death itself. That’s the picture of Jesus painted for us in the Gospel of Mark, and Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: Gospels and the Early Church.”
Scenes from the life of a suffering servant, on this Monday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, Ron continues his journey through the Bible by taking us to the Gospel of Mark. It’s the shortest of the Gospels, focusing primarily on the actions rather than the words of Jesus Christ. As you’ll see in just a few moments, it reads something like an action movie, with the author quickly taking us from one scene to the next. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.: The Gospels and the Early Church.”
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the single most important event in human history. But how can we be sure it actually happened? Today, we return to the Gospel of Matthew, an account that gives us compelling evidence that Jesus is the Messiah, and that the resurrection did, in fact, take place. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
Looking for compelling evidence that Jesus Christ is, in fact, the Messiah? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Today, Ron launches Road Trip Number Six in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” It begins with the first book of the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew, an account that offers convincing proof that Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be.
Today, we come to the conclusion of Ron’s teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.” The Apostle Paul has just endured a violent and life-threatening storm and is headed, at long last, to Rome, to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Are you going through one of life’s storms today? Dr. Ron Jones wants to help you navigate your way through it with courage and grace. Today Ron takes us once again to the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul. As you follow along, you won’t be surprised to learn that he is facing yet another in a long line of challenges. Let’s look closely at the way the apostle handles himself during this storm, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Hello, and thanks for being here for today’s Something Good Radio message with Dr. Ron Jones. In Acts chapter twenty-six, we find one of the Apostle Paul’s longest recorded speeches. Appearing before King Agrippa, he defends not only his words and actions, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And as usual, the Apostle’s presentation was truthful, but cheerful, gritty but gracious. Ron takes us to this dramatic confrontation next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
In Acts chapter nine, God said the Apostle Paul would one day appear before Gentile governors and kings. More than a quarter century later, that day was finally here. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter twenty-five, and to the Apostle Paul’s appearance before King Agrippa. It’s all part of our continuing series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace,” and it comes your way next.
In Philippians three, verse ten, the Apostle Paul expresses a desire to share in the suffering of Jesus Christ. And for most of his thirty-five-year ministry, suffering is exactly what Paul endured. Coming up next, Ron takes us to Paul’s appearance before the Jewish Supreme Court. His life is on the line, but rather than defend himself, he defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you were on trial for being a Christian, what would you say? How would you defend yourself? In Acts chapter twenty-two, the Apostle Paul appears before the Jewish Supreme Court, also known as the Sanhedrin. But rather than defend himself, he defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And he does it, surprisingly enough, with a cheerful attitude. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who faced more pressure during his life and ministry than the Apostle Paul. How did Paul handle outside pressure? What practical lessons can we learn from his response to adversity? Stay with us now to find out, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Anxiety seems to be at an all-time high today. Pressures at work, pressures at home, the pressures of failure, and of success. But few people have endured the kind of pressure the Apostle Paul had to face. As Paul neared the end of his ministry, he made his way to Jerusalem to preach the Gospel. Shortly after Paul arrived, he was threatened by the Jews, beaten by the Romans, and finally--after declaring his Roman citizenship--he was allowed to appear before the Sanhedrin. That’s where Ron takes us today, as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Here’s what God said about the Apostle Paul in Acts chapter nine: “I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.” During his thirty-five-year ministry, the Apostle Paul suffered greatly for the cause of Christ. Today, Ron reminds us that we, too, may be asked to make sacrifices, maybe even to endure suffering, for the glory of God and for the advancement of the Gospel. Stay with us now as Ron continues his series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Through the years, there have been thousands of books written on self-improvement, but very few on self-denial. Salvation is a free gift from God. But followership, walking in the will of God day by day here on Earth, that’s going to cost you something. Today, Ron takes us once again to the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul, a man who suffered greatly for the cause of Christ. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead with his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
“But I do not count my life of any value, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” The Apostle Paul said those words to the Ephesian elders in the book of Acts, chapter twenty. It was a farewell address, as many of those present would never see him again. Today, Ron takes us to some of Paul’s final words as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Grace is more than what God gives us. It’s who He is. If anyone understood the grace of God, it was the Apostle Paul. He experienced it on the road to Damascus, he witnessed it during his ministry, and he wrote about it extensively in his New Testament letters. How does Paul define grace? What’s so amazing about it? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Coming up next, Ron takes us to the Apostle Paul’s third and final missionary journey. It was a season in which Paul took a bold stand for Christ in the midst of heavy opposition. But it was also a time when the power of God was on full display. Stay with us now as Ron continues in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” The Apostle Paul wrote those words to the church in Rome, a few years before he made it there in person. He penned the letter from Corinth, either during or shortly after his third missionary journey, when God’s power was on full display. Ron gives us an in-depth look at Paul’s third and final mission trip today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Jesus called His church the light of the world. And He called us to pierce this present darkness, not to avoid it. The Apostle Paul spent eighteen months getting the Corinthian church up and running. That means he didn’t just turn the light on, he left the light on. Today, Ron shares three key lessons from Paul’s time in Corinth, as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Before America had Las Vegas, ancient Greece had a Sin City of its own. During his thirty-five-year ministry, the Apostle Paul shined the light of Jesus Christ in some very dark places. But none was darker than the city of Corinth. Idolatry, immorality and sexual sin ran rampant. And yet, Paul not only took the Gospel to this den of depravity, he stayed for eighteen months in spite of heavy opposition. It’s a testimony of great faith and perseverance, and Ron takes shares it with you today in his continuing series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
The world may tell you to follow your heart. But God says the heart is deceitful above all things. It’s true, if we don’t guard our hearts, they’ll lead us straight to trouble. But how do we do it? What does guarding our heart look like? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series on the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul.
If it were a crime to share your faith in Christ, would there be enough evidence to convict you? The Apostle Paul was no stranger to conflict. He proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ wherever he went, and for that reason he was beaten three times, thrown in prison three times, and stoned at least once. None of that stopped him from sharing his faith. Today, Ron takes us once again to Paul’s life and ministry, as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
When God opens a door, He almost always opens the heart of someone on the other side. The Apostle Paul was no stranger to this truth. God opened doors for him in ministry all the time, and almost without exception, Paul walked through them and helped lead someone to faith in Christ. Coming up next, a wonderful story of faith and redemption from Ron’s teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
When God closes a door, He doesn’t always open a window. Sometimes He opens a better door. There may not be a better illustration of how God opens some doors and closes others than Paul’s second missionary journey. Plenty of practical lessons for us to learn during this season of Paul’s life, including some of the ways we can know and discern God’s will for our lives. Stay with us now as Ron moves forward in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
In the Christian faith, there are certain foundational truths that cannot be compromised. Others are open for debate, but what should those conversations look like? Many churches have adopted what we might call the Augustinian view of Christian doctrine: In the essentials, unity; in the non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity. Today, Ron explains what that should look like in the life of the church, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
The Christian faith is comprised of essential doctrines and non-essential doctrines. The trouble is, we don’t always agree on which ones are which. Well, this is hardly a new problem. Back when the church was just getting its start, there was already some back and forth about the essential Gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s when the Apostle Paul, along with Barnabas, traveled to Jerusalem in hopes of resolving these differences. Ron takes us to the council at Jerusalem next, as he continues his series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
When Saul of Tarsus came to faith in Christ, little did he know how much he would suffer for his faith. Today, Ron shares some of the events that took place during the Apostle Paul’s first missionary journey. It’s a story of partnership, persecution and perseverance, and it comes your way next, in Ron’s teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
In a grand display of irony, Saul of Tarsus came to faith in Christ on his way to persecute believers in Christ. God intervened in a miraculous way, striking Saul blind and giving him vision in the process. And what a vision it was. Today, Ron takes us to the Apostle Paul’s first missionary journey, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Saul was on his way to round up all the Christians he could find and throw them in prison. But a funny thing happened on the road to Damascus. If you’re wondering how Saul of Tarsus made the switch from murderer to missionary, from assassin to apostle, the answer is found in Acts chapter nine. He was reborn that way. Ron takes us to Saul’s conversion next, as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
He spent the early part of his career as a hitman for the Sanhedrin, persecuting the people of God in the name of God. Saul of Tarsus was not alone. In the early days of the church, he was one of many religious leaders who wanted to stamp out what they believed to be heresy. Over the next few weeks, Ron does a deep dive into the life of Saul, from his early years terrorizing Christians, to his miraculous transformation, and finally, to his faithful ministry as the Apostle Paul. Stay with us now as Ron kicks off his brand-new teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Whoever loves money never has enough. Whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. Those words of wisdom came from Solomon, in Ecclesiastes chapter five verse ten. Today, Ron explains how the love of money can wreak havoc in our relationship with God. It’s the final installment of his teaching series, “His Money, Your Faith,” and it comes your way next.
Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. In just a few moments, Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith,” by asking a simple, yet profound question, where is your heart. You’ll find it by looking at where your treasure is.
Have you fallen into the debt trap today? If you’d like to climb out but don’t know how, you’ve come to the right place. Today, Ron shares five practical steps to getting out of debt. They aren’t easy, but they are doable. And let’s face it, no matter how hard getting out of debt may be, it’s far easier than staying in it.
Today, Ron takes us to the all-too-familiar problem of consumer debt. Many people struggle to make ends meet, and part of the problem is they’ve made a bad choice or two along the way. How can you get debt free? What is God’s plan for your finances? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “His Money, Your Faith.”
When you look at your bank account, it may seem like you can’t afford to tithe. The truth is, you can’t afford not to. Today, Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith” by giving us an in-depth look at God’s financial plan, what Ron calls the ten-ten-eighty plan. It’s biblical, it’s practical, and it’s essential for your financial health and your spiritual health.
There are over two thousand verses in Scripture that have to do with money. If it’s that important to God, it should be equally important to us. God’s Word offers us several principles to help keep us from becoming slaves to debt. But as you’ll see today, financial freedom is not the only kind of freedom God offers us.
If you’re wondering if God cares about the way we use our money, consider this, the Bible contains more than two thousand verses on the subject. Money can often distract us from doing God’s will, and it has the potential to enslave us if we’re not careful. Today, Ron shares three keys to managing our finances God’s way as he continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith.”
When Pontius Pilate told Jesus that he had the authority to set Him free, Jesus said, “You would have no authority at all unless it was given to you from above.” Today, Ron reminds us that nothing we have is ours. We are stewards, not owners, of our money, our time, our talents. And when we learn to use our resources God’s way, we may be surprised by the results.
It is appointed to man once to die, and--after that—the judgment. That’s Hebrews nine, twenty-seven, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. At the end of days, there will be not one, but two separate judgments. The Great White Throne Judgment, and The Judgment Seat of Christ. What will these judgments look like, and who will be judged? Ron has answers today as he wraps up his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
Ever wonder why people say they don’t believe in Heaven? For many, it’s because they don’t want to believe in hell! Out of every seven or eight New Testament verses in which Jesus speaks, He mentions hell or eternal judgment in one of them. Find out what the Lord had to say next, as Ron continues in his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
If you’re one of the many people who think heaven will be boring, think again. Well, when we get to heaven, we’ll be doing far more than sitting on clouds and strumming on harps. We’ll be worshipping and working. But more than anything we’ll be experiencing the eternal, uninterrupted presence of Jesus Christ, and all the joy and pleasure that comes with it. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
Back in the seventies, a man named John wanted us to imagine there was no heaven. Today, we’ll see what a different John has to say. Well, contrary to the imagination of John Lennon, heaven is a real place. And according to the Apostle John, God will one day create a new heaven, along with a new Jerusalem. Ron gives us a glimpse, but only a glimpse, of this new heaven and new Jerusalem next. You’ll have to leave the rest to your imagination.
And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold I am making all things new.” You know, when we go to be with Jesus, everything will be new. Not just where we live, but who we are. We will have new, glorified bodies, a new awareness and understanding, new and greater intellectual capacity. And the best part is, we’ll enjoy all of this without pain, without regret, and without the possibility of sin. Today, Ron offers us a beautiful glimpse of our future home in Heaven, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
Have you ever wondered what heaven will be like? What it will look like, where it will be located? Today, Ron takes you to the largest description of heaven found anywhere in your Bible. It came to the Apostle John in a vision from Jesus Himself, and he wrote down what he saw in Revelation chapter twenty-one, verses one through five. Prepare yourself to get homesick for heaven, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. When Jesus spoke those words recorded in John chapter fourteen, He was setting Himself apart from every other religious belief, and, every other so-called god on Earth. Coming your way next, Ron continues his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
If you had twenty-four hours to live, what would you say to the people you love? What kind of conversation would you have? Something like that took place on the night before Jesus was crucified. He gathered His disciples together and shared a meal…and some rather telling conversation. And the things Jesus said weren’t limited to the men in the upper room. There are plenty of implications for you and me today, and Ron shares them with us next.
Do people get a second chance at salvation after they die? Many people believe that, even if you don’t accept Christ in this life, you’ll get one more bite at the apple in the next one. It’s one of many controversial ideas that have sprung up over the years. Today, Ron explores of few of these beliefs, and tells you what the Bible has to say about them. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
What does the Bible say about heaven? Maybe not as much as you’d like, but more than you might think. God hasn’t told us everything about heaven, but He has given us a few glimpses. As you’ll hear Ron tell it today, it’s a little bit like watching a baseball game through a hole in a wooden fence. You can’t see the whole picture, but you can see enough to pique your interest. Stay with us now as Ron kicks off his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House and My Eternal Home.”
In Revelation chapter three, Jesus has some strong words for the church at Laodicea. It has become dispassionate, distasteful, deceived, and dangerous. These are the earmarks of a lukewarm church. But as hopeless as that may sound, there is a remedy. Ron shares it with us today as he wraps us his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
Some people like their coffee steaming hot. Others prefer an iced latte. But almost no one likes it somewhere in between. In Revelation chapter three, we come across a church that was lukewarm, neither hot nor cold. What did Jesus say to this body of believers, and what can we learn from His admonition? Answers and insight come your way next, as Ron moves ahead with his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
In John ten, twenty-seven, Jesus said “My sheep hear My voice. I know them and they follow Me.” In Revelation chapter three, Jesus praises the church at Philadelphia for its faithfulness. One of the rewards for that faithfulness is a deeper, more intimate walk with Christ, one in which you can hear His voice better than you otherwise might. Today, Ron points to three other blessings that come when we are faithful to God. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
It was a small church with little power or influence. Some would have called it insignificant. But Jesus paid them the highest of compliments. Of the seven churches to whom Jesus dictated letters in Revelation chapters two and three, the church at Philadelphia stands alone as the only one to receive no correction or criticism. What was it about this church that drew such high praise from Jesus. Stay with us now to find out, as Ron continues his series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
In our vocation, in our relationships, and in our walk with Christ, experience very often leads to complacency. In Revelation chapter three, Jesus dictates a letter to the church at Sardis. Although the church had a good public reputation, the Lord knew most of its members had grown complacent. Sardis was a dead church, but as you’ll see today, the news wasn’t all bad. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
It may be nice to have a good public image. But ultimately, you’re not defined by what people think you are, but by what God says you are. The New Testament church in Sardis had something of a good reputation. By all appearances, it was vibrant and alive. But Jesus saw through the facade, and in Revelation chapter three, He calls them a dead church. What did He mean by that proclamation? What are the traits of a lifeless church? Ron has answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “Ready for His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
In our last broadcast, Ron took us to Revelation chapter two and to the words Jesus said to the church at Thyatira. Ron has more to say on that subject coming up next, but he also shares a practical application, and a word of caution, for all of us who call ourselves believers in Christ. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready for His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
In our lives, our homes, even our churches, things are not always what they seem. The church at Thyatira looked fine from the outside. But something was lurking beneath the surface, and Jesus made it a point to confront it. First, He offers some kind and encouraging words about the things they had done well. But what Jesus says next may surprise you, and it’s definitely worth a listen. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
Today, Ron returns to the book of Revelation and a letter written to the church at Pergamum. They had begun to compromise the Word of God, and Jesus strongly admonished them. As you follow along today, see what similarities you may find between Pergamum and the church here in twenty-first-century America.
Sometimes in life you have to compromise. In marriage. In friendship. On the job. But there’s a time to meet halfway, and a time to stand your ground. In the book of Revelation, the church at Pergamum had begun to compromise the Word of God. Its members encountered some false teaching, and they decided to go along, to get along. Today, Ron examines what Jesus had to say to them and how we can apply it to our own Christian experience.
Here in America, the church has begun to suffer, if not outright persecution, at least some degree of prejudice. Might it get worse in our lifetime? The short answer is yes, the treatment of Bible-believing Christians here at home may very well grow worse in the coming years. With that in mind, Ron has three critical lessons to teach us today as he continues his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
Here in America, we hear the stories of Christians being persecuted or killed for their faith all over the world. Could something like that happen in the United States? Today, Ron takes us to the second of seven letters written to the churches in the book of Revelation. It’s a sobering letter to the church at Smyrna, telling them they are about to suffer great persecution for their faith. Could something like that ever take place here at home? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
Love God. Love people. These two commandments comprise the entirety of God’s Law. The church at Ephesus was doing a lot of things right back in the First Century. This body of believers was committed to the truth of the Gospel, and they worked hard to share it with the world. But the Lord had one thing against them, and, as you’ll see today, it was a pretty big problem! Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1 to 3.
If Jesus wrote a letter to your home church, what might He say? Today, Ron takes us to the book of Revelation, and to the first of seven letters to the seven churches in First Century Asia Minor. First on the list is the church at Ephesus, for which Jesus had both praise and criticism. As you follow along today, see if you find any similarities between the church at Ephesus, and the church you attend at home.
Now, we see through a glass darkly, but then: face to face. The world got a glimpse of Jesus Christ two thousand years ago. He was Divine but also fully human, and, for our sake, He temporarily emptied Himself of the full weight of His glory. But one day we will see Him as He truly is, the glorified Jesus coming in the clouds to set things right once and for all. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Ready for His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1 to 3.
No one knows the day or the hour in which Jesus Christ will return. But we’re closer to it now than we were yesterday! You know, the Bible tells us that Christ will return soon. Even two thousand years ago, in the book of Revelation, the Apostle John says the Lord’s Second Coming is near. Ron sheds some light on this seeming contradiction next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready for His Return.”
All over the world, believers in Christ look forward to His future return. But between this day and that, we need to be going about the business of being ready for His return. How can we do it? Find out next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready for His Return.”
Right before He ascended into heaven, Jesus promised He would one day return. As believers in Christ, we look forward to that great and glorious day. We desire His return, we’re excited about it, the question is, are we ready for it? Over the next few weeks, Ron shows us what it looks like to be ready for the Lord’s Second Coming, as he shares his teaching series, “Ready For His Return, based on Revelation chapters 1 to 3.”
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can crush your spirit.Great is the power of the human tongue. It can divide or unite, kill or give life.Today, Ron returns to the book of Proverbs to show us how we can use our tongues for good and not for evil, to build one another up instead of tearing one another down.
Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived other than Jesus Christ. So if he has something to say about money management, it’s a good idea to listen. You may not know it, but Ron’s undergraduate degree is in financial planning. Today, he uses that knowledge, plus some wisdom from the book of Proverbs, to share what he calls the ten-ten-eighty financial plan.
True wisdom comes from God and God alone. And if we heed it, it always leads to a healthier, more joyful life. Coming up next on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us to the book of Proverbs to share some godly wisdom about our personal finances.
Attention all parents, God has given you a special brand of wisdom and insight as it concerns your children. Do not shy away from sharing it. Throughout the book of Proverbs, Solomon trains his son to make wise decisions about the friends he chooses, about sexual purity, about money management, in short, about living life God’s way. The message is clear, we as parents have been charged with the task of passing along godly wisdom to the next generation.
The book of Proverbs is designed to help believers in Christ grow in knowledge and wisdom, and then to take that wisdom and pass it down to the next generation. That’s what Solomon did for his son, and that’s where we’re headed next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.”
For the past few days here on Something Good, Ron has been looking at what the book of Proverbs says about sexual immorality. Along the way, we’ve seen how slowly and subtly sexual temptation can lead to sexual sin and, if we’re not careful, sexual addiction. How can we avoid these issues? Find out next as Ron continues his series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.”
Sexual temptation seldom overtakes you all at once. It comes in stages, each one more dangerous than the one before. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us through the stages of seduction and reminds us that for anyone who is in Christ, there is always a way of escape.
God created sex for two reasons: recreation and reproduction, and for two people, a man and his wife. Today, Ron takes us to the Old Testament book of Proverbs, both to remind us of God’s design for sex and to warn us of the consequences of venturing outside His will. It’s all part of his continuing series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life,” and it comes your way next.
The world spends an awful lot of time talking about money and sex. As it happens, so does God. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us directly to God’s Word, specifically the book of Proverbs, to give us God’s instruction regarding sexual intimacy, something the world has and continues to pervert.
What’s true about our finances is true of life in general. Those who live the best lives are the ones who give their lives away. Coming your way next, Ron takes a look at what it means to live successfully in the area of our personal finances, as he continues his teaching series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life."
The world defines success in terms of individual achievement. But God’s ways are not our ways. Today, Ron continues his teaching series from the book of Proverbs, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.” As you follow along, pay special attention to the keys to living a successful life. These are practical steps, seemingly simple steps, but following them is not as easy as you might think.
Are you a treasure hunter? Are you willing to seek after godly wisdom with perseverance and passion? The Bible tells us that we will seek God and find Him if we seek Him with all our heart. Today, Ron reminds us of what the pursuit of wisdom looks like. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.
Coming up next on today’s edition of Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us once again to the book of Proverbs to explain the true value of wisdom. Now wisdom isn’t as easy to find as your wallet or your car keys, it takes some hard work and perseverance. But the rewards of godly wisdom are well worth the sacrifice.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. But a fool despises wisdom and instruction. In our last broadcast, Ron introduced us to Lady Wisdom. The book of Proverbs tells us we need to listen to lady wisdom, and respond to lady wisdom. But there are two more things we need to do with wisdom, and that’s where we pick it up today as Ron continues his series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.”
Do you remember the old E. F. Hutton commercials? When E. F. Hutton talks, people listen. Well, when Lady Wisdom talks, it’s a good idea to listen to her as well. Today, Ron takes us once again to the book of Proverbs as he continues his series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.”
In our last broadcast, Ron took us to Proverbs chapter one to talk about the importance of choosing the right kind of friends, like-minded believers in Christ who can encourage us in our faith. As he continues the message today, he’ll tell us how to go about doing just that.
There are good ideas, and God ideas. Good relationships, and God relationships. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones continues his teaching series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.” Along the way he’ll remind us that the enemy will often use other people, acquaintances, classmates, co-workers, even friends, to tempt us to go astray.
Go to any bookstore in America, and you’ll find thousands of books filled with maxims, axioms and wise sayings. But not all proverbs are created equal. Coming your way next, Ron takes us to the preeminent source of wisdom, the Old Testament book of Proverbs, as he continues his series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.”
When Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs, he gave us a garden of wisdom, but he did so without the flowery speech. He was a champion of brevity, clarity and wisdom, and his writings give us practical advice on virtually every aspect of our day to day lives. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones begins an in-depth look at the book of Proverbs in his series, “Wise Sayings: Guidance For Everyday Life.”
Today, we come to the conclusion of Ron’s teaching series, “Mysteries of Babylon.” As he wraps up this group of messages, he takes us to the one thousand year reign of Christ on Earth, and offers some perspective on how we as believers in Christ should live in light of the future second coming of Christ.
The book of Daniel has always been beautifully prophetic. The Bible tells us that no one knows the day or the hour when Jesus will return. But it does reveal some of the signs of the end of the age, and today we see many of them coming to pass right before our eyes. Stay with us now as Ron takes us to Daniel chapter 12 to talk about one of the most fascinating prophecies in all of Scripture.

You may think you have enemies, but when you get right down to it, you really only have one. Well, believe it or not, the people who don’t like you are not the enemy.

Today, Ron takes us to Daniel chapter ten to remind us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the unseen forces of evil in the spiritual realm.
The prophet Daniel recorded four visions in the Old Testament book that bears his name. Today, we’ll explore number four. So let me ask you, do you believe in the devil and his demons?

Let’s go behind the headlines, behind the columns and television segments brought to us by the mainstream media, to find out why the nation of Israel is and will continue to be so prominent. That’s where Ron takes us next, as he continues his teaching series, “Mysteries of Babylon: How the Prophecies of Daniel Prepare Us for the Return of Jesus Christ.”
What does it take to have a strong prayer life? Find out next, on today’s edition of something good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, prayer is perhaps our most powerful spiritual weapon, one that many believers in Christ don’t use often enough. Today, Ron gives us three keys to having a successful prayer life, as he continues his teaching series, “Mysteries of Babylon: How the Prophecies of Daniel Prepare Us for the Return of Jesus Christ.”
Believe it or not, prayer and prophecy are inextricably linked.

Stay with us now as Ron continues his series, “Mysteries of Babylon: How the Prophecies of Daniel Prepare Us for the Return of Jesus Christ.”

A ram, a goat, and two little horns, on this Monday edition of Something Good. Daniel was a man of visions, Divine visions in which God revealed the future to him so that he could share it with all who had ears to hear.

God will tame the beast. But first, He might need to calm the beast in you. Well, fear and anxiety can often overtake us like a beast. And when they do, they can swallow up our faith. Today, in the conclusion of his teaching series, Standing Strong, Ron highlights the faith of Daniel, and encourages us to demonstrate that kind of faith when we find ourselves inside the proverbial lion’s den.
What does it take to be a good role model? Today, Ron takes us to chapter six of the book of Daniel, a man who found so much favor with God that he rose to prominence in a godless culture. Along the way, Ron shares four essential qualities that every good role model should have.
Where will America be in the last days of planet Earth? Answers come your way next, on this Monday edition of Something Good.

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “rules were meant to be broken.” Don’t believe it. Well, we may sometimes break God’s rules, but the one thing we can count on is that He never breaks His own. Today, Ron shares two unbreakable rules of God as he continues his teaching series, “Standing Strong.”

How will you respond? Today, Ron takes us to Daniel chapter three, and to a familiar story that will show us what faith under fire should look like.
Centuries before the Roman Empire rose to prominence, God had already prophesied its eventual fall. Today, Ron takes us to Daniel chapter two, and to one of the most fascinating prophecies in the Bible. To the Babylonians, this was a future event. To you and me, it’s history. It’s a sobering reminder of God’s authority and sovereignty, and it comes your way next.
Today, Ron takes us to Daniel chapter two, and to a critical moment in the life of both Daniel and the Babylonian empire.

The series from Daniel 1-6 is called, “Standing Strong.”
How can you show character under pressure? Find out next, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good. Well, Daniel was a man of high character, and it was put to the test by the King of Babylon.

During the time of Daniel the prophet, ancient Babylon was a depraved and godless culture. Not all that much different from our own. Sad words, but true words.

Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Standing Strong,” based on Daniel 1-6.

Today, Ron covers these barriers to prayer next, as he wraps up his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed for Victory in Spiritual Warfare.”
Think of temptation as hand-to-hand combat with Satan. When the time comes, it’s a good idea to have a sword in your hand. Not only does God want you to have the sword of the spirit in your hand, He wants you to have it in your heart. Today, Ron explains the importance of this vital piece of battle gear, as he continues his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed For Victory In Spiritual Warfare.
In Ephesians chapter six, the Apostle Paul tells us about the armor of God. There are six pieces in all, each uniquely crafted to help us win the invisible war with Satan.

Ron has more next, as he continues his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed for Victory in Spiritual Warfare.”

Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones introduces us to a critical piece of battle gear, one designed to protect our minds from the onslaught of enemy attacks.
Satan will use fear to diminish or weaken your faith. But that’s not his only tactic. In addition to fear, the enemy will use worry and doubt to attack our faith in Christ. Today, Ron explains how to defend ourselves against these enemy attacks, and how we can not only maintain our faith, but increase it. Stay with us here as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed for Victory in Spiritual Warfare.”
Habakkuk two, verse four tells us that the righteous man shall live by faith. Faith is the greatest necessity of the Christian life … a critical component of our salvation in Christ.

Some years ago there was a Nike commercial in which one of the actors, seeing just how talented Michael Jordan was, said, “It’s gotta be the shoes.” Well, as the commercial says, shoes are a critical component to any athletic endeavor. Critical to any war. And as you’ll see today, our shoes are every bit as critical in our spiritual war against Satan.
It’s one thing to know who you are. But do you know who you are in Christ? Well, sometimes we believe what others think about us, or maybe what we think about ourselves. But rather than buy into what people think, how about believing what God says. Today’s message is straight ahead.
The day is coming when Satan will be overthrown once and for all. But for now, he is the prince of this world, continually accusing believers in Christ of being undeserving of God’s mercy.

Jesus had this to say about our adversary, the devil. “When he lies, he speaks from his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” Well, how do we combat the lies of the enemy? We start by putting on the belt of truth. Ron dives into the subject next, as he continues his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed For Victory In Spiritual Warfare.”
There are tool belts, fan belts and weightlifting belts. There’s even a Bible belt. But on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones, you’ll hear about a different kind of belt, the belt of truth.

If so, the devil is the one who brought it to you. Ron shows you how to deal with this scheme of Satan next, as he continues his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed For Victory in Spiritual Warfare.”
The first step to winning any war is knowing you’re in one. The second step, know your enemy. One of the problems with your adversary, the devil, is that he doesn’t want to be known. He lurks in the shadows, and when he does come out, he masks himself as an angel of light. But whether he wants to be known or not, we can know him. Dr. Ron Jones tells you how today right here on Something Good, as he continues his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed for Victory in Spiritual Warfare.”
If God is for us, who can be against us? That’s Romans eight, thirty-one, and this is Something Good. Well, that’s a rhetorical question. If God is for us, and He is, then no one can be against us. But that doesn’t stop the Devil from trying everything he can to steal, kill and destroy.
It’s been said that the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn’t exist. The problem is, he does exist. He’s invisible, but very real, and his sole purpose is to destroy your relationship with God. How can we overcome his tactics and find victory? Answers come your way next on Something Good, as Dr. Ron Jones kicks off his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed for Victory in Spiritual Warfare.”
Have you ever wondered where the concept of tithing began? Contrary to what you may have heard, it came along well before the Old Testament Law. Today, Ron wraps up his teaching series, “I Resolve,” by reminding us that when God asks us to tithe, He’s not wanting something from us; He’s wanting something for us.
Did you know that the Bible talks more about money than it talks about prayer or about faith? It’s true. There’s a reason why God spends so much time talking to us about the way we view and use money. Today, Ron takes a deep dive into subject as he continues his teaching series, “I Resolve.”
Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? Maybe the place to start is by learning a little bit about each of them. God’s Word divides the spiritual gifts into three distinct groups, sign gifts, supporting gifts, and serving gifts. Ron takes a look at all three today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “I Resolve.”
You may have already made a few New Year’s resolutions. But were they promises about what you’ve decided to do or predictions about what you hope to do? The word “resolve” means to come to a definite or earnest decision about something. Today, Ron encourages us to resolve to become better stewards of one of the three key areas of our lives, our talent. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “I Resolve."

Today, Ron offers some biblical insight into the power and necessity of a passionate prayer life, as he continues in his series, “The Jesus Way To Pray.”
It’s true that prayer is our way of communicating with God. But it’s so much more than that. Coming your way next, Ron kicks off his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” And he begins with a touching story from the world of professional sports, one in which prayer, and the passion behind it, became a major part of the media narrative.
“And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus”. Thanks for spending part of this great and glorious day here with us. Well, Jesus is known by many names, and for the past several days Ron has taken an in-depth look at six of them. But he may well have saved the best for last, it’s the name, “Jesus,”and what a beautiful name it is! Stay with us now as Ron wraps up his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
“The virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, meaning God with us.” When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, it wasn’t merely a child being born. It was God Himself choosing to live on Earth with us, so that one day, we might live in heaven with Him. Today, Ron takes a look at just what this name “Emmanuel” means for you and me, as he continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Here’s what John chapter one tells us about the Incarnation of Jesus. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelled among us.” The idea that Jesus was fully divine and yet fully human at the same time is a hard concept to grasp. Some would say it’s impossible. But that shouldn’t stop us from trying! Coming up next, Ron talks at length about the dual nature of Jesus, both His divinity as well as His humanity, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Through faith in Christ, you can have peace in your heart. But one day Jesus will bring about a peace on Earth unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

It will be a time of unprecedented peace, ushered in by the Prince of Peace. Stay with us now to learn more about this future kingdom, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
For unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given. And He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. That’s Isaiah nine, six, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, Ron continues his important teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.” There are seven names in all, and today we come to number four on the list, the “Prince of Peace.”
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. But what does that really mean? The truth is Jesus had no beginning and He will have no end. He always was and forever will be. Ron unpacks this idea for us next, as he continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Some are absent. Others are violent. Some try hard but fail all too often. But there’s one Father who never fails. It’s no secret that we have a fatherhood problem here in America, one that often leads to a host of other societal issues. But Ron has some good news for us today. God has promised to be a father to the fatherless. He’s a good father, a perfect father, and best of all, He’s an everlasting Father. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
Behold, God is mighty and does not despise any. He is mighty in strength and wisdom. That’s Job thirty-six, five, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Every protagonist in literature, every superhero in comic books and movies, has at least one weakness. Superman is made weak by kryptonite. Batman is limited by his own human nature. But Jesus has no tragic flaws. He has no flaws, period. He is mighty in works, mighty in wisdom, mighty, even in His mercy and compassion. He is truly the only Superhero who has ever lived. Coming your way next, Ron takes an in-depth look at this aspect of our Lord’s character, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”

God is known by many names. One of them is Wonderful Counselor. If ever the world needed Divine Counsel, it’s now. And God is always willing and able to share it. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”

The phrase “fear not” is found three hundred and sixty-five times in the Bible, one for each day of the year. One of the reasons God spends so much time telling us not to be afraid is because in the flesh, we’re prone to being afraid. Fear of death. Fear of the valley. Fear of failure. Fear of success.

In the book of Revelation, the church at Pergamum had begun to compromise the Word of God. Its members encountered some false teaching, and they decided to go along, to get along. Today, Ron examines what Jesus had to say to them and how we can apply it to our own Christian experience.

Here in America, the church has begun to suffer, if not outright persecution, at least some degree of prejudice. Might it get worse in our lifetime?

In the Christian faith, there are certain foundational truths that cannot be compromised. Others are open for debate, but what should those conversations look like?

The phrase “fear not” is found three hundred and sixty-five times in the Bible, one for each day of the year.

Counterfeit Christianity has been around almost since the church was founded some two thousand years ago. It feeds on false doctrine. It sows mistrust.

Returning to the basics of our Christian faith, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, the book of Ephesians can be neatly divided into two sections. In the first three chapter, the Apostle Paul focuses on theology. In the final three chapters he shifts away from doctrine and turns his attention to duty. And one of the first duties he mentions is that all of us are called to be part of a local body of believers.

You may not know it yet, but if you’re a believer in Christ, you have been made spiritually wealthy. Well, the book of Ephesians is one of four prison epistles written by the Apostle Paul.

You can’t get right with God by trying harder or doing better. There is only one way to be reconciled to God, and Dr. Ron Jones shares it with us next, on this Monday edition of Something Good. Some two thousand years ago, early in the Apostle Paul’s ministry, a group of people known as the Judaizers had tainted the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote the book of Galatians, at least in part, to refute those false claims. Ron takes us there today, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

I do not nullify the grace of God. For if righteousness were through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose. With these words in Galatians five, twenty-one, the Apostle Paul made his position clear. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. But when some began to poison the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul responded swiftly by writing the book of Galatians.

In his first letter to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul was disciplinary. In his second, he was defensive. What changed? Well, the Apostle Paul wasn’t always an apostle.

After his conversion and subsequent rise to a position of authority in the church, some in Corinth still doubted his credentials.
