Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. When Jesus spoke those words, He was referring to Satan’s kingdom in hell. But He could just have easily been talking about any earthly kingdom, including ancient Israel. Today ,Ron takes us to the book of First Kings, a time in Israel’s history when it was inching ever so closely to a divided kingdom, although the Israelites didn’t kno...

He committed adultery and murder, then tried to cover it up. And yet he was still called a man after God’s own heart. You may be asking, how is this possible? How can someone who fell so badly be called a man after God’s own heart. Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

What does it mean to be a man, or a woman, after God’s own heart? Well, King David was called a man after God’s own heart. And it was God Himself who said so. Why did the Lord describe him this way? How does a person after God’s own heart behave? For answers, stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bibl...

Have you ever found yourself at a moral crossroads, temptation to the left, truth to the right? Well, Israel found itself at just such a crossroads. At a time when God was their king, they asked for, in fact they demanded, a human king. Ron takes us to the story of Israel’s turning point next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip...

When making decisions about how you will live your life, do you follow the rebellious crowd, or the risen Christ? People and even entire nations have at times abandoned the Christian principles they once held dear. America has done it. So, too, did Israel, when it asked God to step down as their king so that they could anoint a human king. That story comes your w...

When is a fairy tale not a fairy tale? Find out next, on this Monday edition of Something Good radio. Today, Ron takes us once again to the book of Ruth. It’s a story of romance, redemption and true love. It reads much like a fairy tale, except in this case, it actually happened. And it points to an even greater love story, that between Christ and the church.

A picture inside a picture, on this Friday edition of Something Good. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Ruth, a story of romance and redemption that gives us a beautiful illustration of a bigger picture, which is God’s redemption of all those who believe in Christ.

The book of Judges is a story of rebellion, confession and deliverance, and it is told over and over again. Seven times in fact, seven consecutive generations of Israelites who kept repeating the same mistakes as the generation before. Ron takes us back to ancient Israel today, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Well, shortly after the death of Joshua, the Israelites, who were living in the Promised Land, begin to rebel against God. In fact, for seven generations, or about three hundred and fifty years, Israel repeated these cycles of disobedience. Each generation falling into the same patterns as the one before. &n...

The Promised Land wasn’t merely there for Israel to take. It was there for Israel to keep. Find out how this applies to you, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good. Today, Ron reminds us that in Christ, we all of us have gained access to the Promised Land. We take possession of it by faith, and we keep possession of it by faith.

It may very well be the worst battle plan in the history of war. But it was God’s battle plan, and it worked to perfection. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Joshua. The Israelites, after forty years of wandering in the wilderness, find themselves on the doorstep of their destiny. What happens next is nothing short of remarkable, as God takes limited people and does a legendar...

Last words are very often important words. Today Dr. Ron Jones takes you to the final words of Moses, right here on something good radio. Well, the book of Deuteronomy is something of a farewell address from Moses to the Israelites. Three separate farewell addresses to be exact. Moses shares them about one month before his death, words of wisdom designed to...

The Bible Jesus read, on this Thursday edition of Something Good. When Jesus was in the wilderness, Satan tempted Him three times. And all three times, Jesus quoted Scripture from the book of Deuteronomy. Ron takes us to this final book of the Pentateuch next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible.”

It’s a trip that should have taken the Israelites two weeks. But because of their unbelief, it took four decades. Well, God had already delivered the Israelites out of Egypt, but it took forty years to get the Egypt out of the Israelites. Ron takes us to the story next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible.”

Some have called it the book of murmurings. Dr. Ron Jones takes us there next, on this Tuesday edition of something good. The book of Numbers is a cautionary tale for all of us. It chronicles the Israelites roller coaster journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, a two-week trip that took forty years to make. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Rout...

Today, Ron takes us to what he calls the handbook of holiness, the book of Leviticus. It points us to the holiness of God, encourages us to live holy lives, and reminds us of the sacrifice Jesus made to spare us from the eternal consequences of sin.

It may be the least read book in all the Bible. But it’s far more interesting and practical than you might think. Well, at first blush, the book of Leviticus may seem boring, dry, and repetitive. But as you’ll discover today, there’s a reason for the repetition. Today, Ron takes us to Leviticus as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimat...

It’s one of the most monumental books in all the Bible, and Dr. Ron Jones takes us there next, on this Thursday edition of Something Good radio. The book of Exodus gives us a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, and the salvation that can only be found through faith in Him. Ron walks us through the second half of Exodus today, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66:...

The book of Genesis is largely about the creation of man and the fall of man. But in Exodus, the second book of the Bible, God gives us a beautiful illustration of the redemption of man. Well, four hundred years have passed between the end of Genesis and the opening of Exodus. God’s chosen people, the Israelites, are enslaved in Egypt, and God sets in motion the events to set t...

Who am I? How did I get here? Why am I here? Where am I going? Answers come your way next, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Genesis to talk about our identity, our origin, our purpose and our destiny. Along the way, he’ll explain why Satan spends so much time and energy attacking the book of Genesis.

The Bible is the holy, infallible Word of God. Every page, every passage, every word is profitable for teaching and reproof. But how do all six hundred thousand words fit together? Today, and for the next several months, Ron answers that question as he takes us on a fascinating journey through all sixty-six books of God’s Word. The series is called, “Route 66: The Ult...

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? Find out ne...

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 her...
