Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Do you want to know what your priorities are? Take a good look at your bank statement. Jesus was a man with great power, uncommon passion, and a charismatic presence. But He was also a man of priority. He lived that way, and—in Matthew chapter six—He taught us to pray that way. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” 

If you’ve been saved by faith in God the Son, then God the Father is also Your Father. Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we can boldly approach the throne of God and call Him “Father.” But, as you’ll hear today, His name is still hallowed, and we’re called to respect and revere Him accordingly. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”  

One of the most beautiful things about the Lord’s Prayer is found in the first two words, "Our Father." Jesus could have said, “My Father.” Instead, He said  Our  Father, and, in doing so, He invited all mankind to address Almighty God in this way. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the first stanza of the Lord’s Prayer, with special emphasis on these first two words—what they meant to...

A passionate and effective prayer life is not built on repetition, but on relationship. There’s nothing wrong with having a conversation with God in which you praise Him more than once, or thank Him more than once, or make the same request more than once. But more than anything, prayer is about developing a deep, intimate relationship with the God who already knows your needs. Stay with us today a...

One of the best ways to learn to do something right, is to see what it looks like to do it wrong. In Matthew chapter six, Jesus gave us a template for talking to God, what you and I know as the Lord’s Prayer. But before He told us how to pray, He told us how not to pray. Ron takes us to this passage next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” 

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” That’s James five, sixteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. When James talks about fervent prayer, he’s encouraging us to pray with unbridled passion. Is that how you pray? If not, what would it take for you to start? Today, Ron offers some biblical insight into the power and necessity of a passionate prayer life, as he...

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.  

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 ser...

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 h...

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?...

“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 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.”  

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 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.”...
