Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

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, ““Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip...

Today, Ron takes us to the book of First Peter, as he continues his teaching series, "Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible. 

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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Ro...

Wherever you are, and however you may be listening, thanks for making us part of your day. Well, how do you attain godly wisdom? What’s the right way to resolve conflict? Why do our prayers sometimes go unanswered? These are some of the questions that are asked and answered in the book of James. Ron takes us there next, as he  continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Throug...

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, “Route Sixty-Six: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”  

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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bibl...

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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” 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 superior...

“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...

To change the way you behave, you first have to change the way you think. Well, before anyone can take the action of putting their faith in Christ for salvation, they first have to believe that it’s necessary, and they have to believe that Jesus Christ is the only means by which they can be saved. Behavior follows belief. That’s why teaching sound doctrine in the church is so critical. Stay with u...

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, “Rout...

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, “Route 66: The Ulti...

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...

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, “Route 66: The Ulti...

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 dange...

“Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for the day of the Lord will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.” Just who is this man of lawlessness, and what is keeping him from emerging on the world scene? Find out next, as Ron takes us to Second Thessalonians in his continuing series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through Th...

In light of Christ’s future return, how shall we now live? Today, we come to the book of Second Thessalonians, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” Some of the believers in Thessalonica were under the impression that Christ had already returned. They were confused, disillusioned, and had begun to shirk some of their responsibilities. The Apost...

“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...

“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 a...

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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Thro...

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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” 

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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” 

“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 throug...

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...

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 toda...
