Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

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’l...

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 s...

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 hi...

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 a...

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 teac...

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 Ro...

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...

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?...

Well, if you’re a believer in Christ, the Lord’s goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your   life, too, even on the days when He seems far away. Today, Ron explains how the goodness and mercy of God work together for good in our live...

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.”  

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.  

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 te...

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 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.

Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the...

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.

Shepherds have two critical tools with them at all times, a rod and a staff.

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...

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...

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 ha...

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.
