Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Did you know that your prayers could be hindered? Prayer can move mountains. But there are a handful of hindrances that can make your prayer life an uphill climb. Today, Ron covers these barriers to prayer next, as he wraps up 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. In just a few moments here on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us to the end of Ephesians chapter six, to the point where we’re fully dressed and ready for battle, to explain the critical role prayer plays in holding everythi...

And be not conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Those words from Romans twelve, verse two, tell us that as our mind is renewed through time in God’s Word and in prayer, it has the power to transform us, and to prevent us from the enemies’ attempt to poison our minds with his lies. Ron has more next, as he continues his teaching series, “Armored: Dr...

If you’re a believer in Christ, you’ve been given a sound mind. Satan knows this, but that doesn’t stop him from attacking our minds anyway. 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...

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. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones tells us how to combat our adversary, the accuser. Stay with us now as he continues his teaching series, “Armored: Dressed For Victory In Spiritual Warfare,” 

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. When you read about the armor of God in Ephesians chapter six, the very first piece of armor is the belt of truth. How can this piece of battle gear help you in your invisible war with Satan?

How can you tell when Satan has invaded your life? He’ll bring deception, he’ll bring doubt, he’ll bring division, and he’ll bring discouragement. Are you discouraged today? 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 h...

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 Victor...

Find out next, 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, 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....

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.”

The Christian life is made up of two distinct components. Salvation, a one-time event in which your soul is eternally saved. And sanctification, 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 soul, the most critical decision we’ll ever make. But once it’s been...

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,...
