Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. With those words, the prophet Isaiah showed us our deep need for salvation, and spoke of the only Person, Jesus Christ, who could give it to us. Ron explores two key ideas from the book of Isaiah today, the depravity of man,...

Today, Ron explores the book of Isaiah, the first of the Major Prophets of the Old Testament, and the first book in Road Trip Number Four of his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” Pay close attention today. As Ron will tell you in just a few moments, if you master the book of Isaiah, you will understand the heart of God, and the heart of His...

If you expect marriage to be all sunshine and rainbows, it’s not all your fault. The truth is, you’ve been lied to. Hollywood movies and romance novels might lead married couples to believe that the honeymoon should never be over. Today, Ron takes us straight to God’s Word to show us that conflict is a very real, very natural issue in marriage. How does God instruct us to...

The world wants you to believe that marriage is a cultural construct. Don’t buy the lie. Well, the institution of marriage was created by God Himself. It was His idea. His blueprint. And the reason so many marriages are failing these days is because we’ve replaced His design with one our own. Today, Ron takes us back three thousand years, to a book of the Bible t...

Have you searched in vain for the meaning of life by exploring everything under the sun? If so, maybe it’s time you look  above  the sun. Today, Ron takes us once again to the book of Ecclesiastes as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

“Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.” Well, the author of that depressing line is none other than King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived other than Jesus Christ. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Ecclesiastes, and to Solomon’s thoughts on the true meaning of life, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible,”

What’s the difference between wisdom and knowledge. The book of Proverbs has been called a collection of short sentences based on long experiences. It's human author was King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived other than Jesus Christ. But ultimately, the author is God Himself, and He longs to share His wisdom with all who have ears to hear it. Stay with us now as Ron c...

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That’s Proverbs nine, ten, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. If you’re looking for wisdom, you’d be wise to read the book of Proverbs. Ron calls it counsel from heaven for conduct on Earth. Plenty of people can offer solid advice, and God tells us to seek counsel from friends and pastors and mentors. But fo...

Do you need to recharge your spiritual battery today? Do you need wisdom that can only come from an intimate relationship with God? If so, I invite you to join Dr. Ron Jones right now, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Coming your way next, Ron takes us to the book of Psalms, the second of the five Old Testament Wisdom books. Along the way, he’ll give you four k...

Many believers in Christ would say the book of Psalms is one of their two or three favorite books in the Bible. If you need to recharge your batteries or refuel your soul, the book of Psalms is the place to go. Ron takes us there today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

If God answered all of our questions, we would never need faith. And without faith, it is impossible to please God. When Job lost his children and all his wealth, he never blamed God for any wrongdoing. But he did have plenty of questions, and he began to ask God for an explanation. Ron takes us to Job’s conversation with God next, as he continues his teachi...

It just might be the oldest story ever written, and it comes your way next, on this Friday edition of Something Good. He was a wealthy man, and a righteous man. He had a loving wife, ten healthy children, and all the land and riches a man could hope to have. But his life of prosperity was about to become a season of pain. Ron takes you to his story today as...

It’s one of the most well-known verses in the Old Testament, “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” That Scripture comes from the book of Esther chapter four, verse fourteen. Ron takes us there today to remind us that the providence of God was not limited to the time of Mordecai and Esther. It still applies to us today, no matter...

God often does His best work behind the scenes. No fanfare. No marching bands. No obvious miracles. Well, sometimes God parts the Red Sea or heals a blind man. But more often than not, His approach is more subtle. He is always sovereign, He is always in control, but He is not always performing the noticeably miraculous. For one of the greatest stories of God...

What does it take to build a better life? Today, Ron takes us once again to the book of Nehemiah, where God tells us about the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. But there’s also a metaphorical message about shoring up the broken walls in our own spiritual lives. How do we do this? Ron offers us four practical keys today as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ult...

Rebuilding your spiritual walls, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, the book of Nehemiah tells the story of rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. But it also shows us how to rebuild and restore the broken places of our own hearts and minds. Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bibl...

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Today Ron takes us to the book of Ezra, written by a man of integrity who demonstrated all the qualities of a true disciple.  Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

When God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He used Moses to break out all two million of them. Centuries later, when the Babylonian King told the Israelites they were free to leave their captivity, only fifty thousand Israelites chose to leave. This brief history sets the stage for the book of Ezra, where Ron takes us today in his teaching series, “Route 66: The U...

Do you want to see revival take place here in America? Then come with Dr. Ron Jones right now, as he shares today’s something good radio message from the book of Second Chronicles. Coming your way next, Ron takes us to a time in Israel’s history when it was a divided kingdom, and when most of the kings and the inhabitants of those two kingdoms were living in rebellion against God.

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. That’s Second Chronicles seven, fourteen, and this is Something Good Radio. That promise from God was given to the nation of Israel in the days of King Solomon. Does it apply to other na...

The book of First Chronicles was first written to the Jews who were coming home from exile in Babylon. The writer wanted to remind the Israelites of their spiritual past, the times when they were blessed for their obedience, and the times when they endured the consequences of rebellion. It’s a critical lesson for all of us to learn today, and Ron takes us there next, as he cont...

Returning to your spiritual roots, on this Friday edition of Something Good. The first thing you’ll notice about the book of First Chronicles is that it contains a rather long genealogical record. The writer knew just how critical it was for the people of God to understand their past, so that they might return to right relationship with God.

How can an entire nation return to God? One repentant soul at a time. The book of Second Kings is partially a tale of Israel’s rebellion against God. The nation first becomes divided into two kingdoms. For most of that four hundred year period, with very few exceptions, both kingdoms did evil in the sight of the Lord. And ultimately, Israel was taken into captivity. Ron ta...

God is not mocked. As a man sows he also shall reap. It’s true of individuals. It’s also true of nations. Well, after the reign of King Solomon, and partly due to the latter stages of his reign, the nation of Israel divided into two kingdoms, and with few exceptions, every king, and by extension, the inhabitants themselves, did evil in the sight of the Lord. What...

Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived other than Jesus. But in his old age, he made some foolish choices. Find out what happened next, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good. Today, Ron takes us once again to the book of First Kings, and to some of the decisions that ultimately led to Israel becoming a divided nation.
