Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

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, “Route 66: The...

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 found in chapter three, in which the prophet reaches a point of triumphant faith. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”  

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, shari...

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

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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Roa...

"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 this is 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...

“Social justice” is a popular theme here in the Twenty-First Century. But is modern-day social justice the same thing as biblical justice? The prophet Micah was a man of modest means, what today we might call a backwoods country preacher ., and he cried out for justice to those who were oppressing the poor. What kind of justice was Micah talking about?  Is it the same as what many are demanding to...

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 is a foreshadowing of Christ Himself, and offers some 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, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”  

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 t...

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

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 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, “Rou...

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

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 c...

Today, Ron launches Road Trip 5 of his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” We begin with the book of Hosea, in which we find two unusual love stories, one between Hosea and his wife, Gomer, the other between God and the nation of Israel.

It’s one of the most anticipated prophecies in the entire Bible, a seven-year season of tribulation followed by an eternity of triumph. And Dr. Ron Jones takes you there next, on this Thursday edition of Something Good. Today, Ron shares from the book of Daniel, and to a prophecy concerning events that will take place at the end of this age.

When enemies come against you or try to harm you, their actions reveal their character. They can also reveal your own. Well, it’s hard to get a good read on someone’s character until they face adversity. That’s when our true character is revealed. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Daniel to show us what genuine, godly character looks like.

Have you ever wondered if God may have left you? Does He sometimes seem silent or distant, impossible to reach? Coming your way next, Ron takes us to the book of Ezekiel as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” Along the way, he’ll remind us of the promises God has made to Israel, and the promises He has made to all who have put...

“There is none like you among the gods, O Lord. Nor are there any works like Yours.” That’s Psalm eighty-six, verse eight … and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, the glory of God is a prominent theme in the book of Ezekiel. He describes the sum total of God’s divine nature, His attributes and His creative works. Coming up next, Ron takes us to...

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, “R...

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 pl...

“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 ex...

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...
