Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

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 teachi...

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 Tim...

“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 Throu...

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 o...

“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...

“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...

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 6...

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 Bib...

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 ma...

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...

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...

You can’t get right with God by trying harder or doing better. There is only one way to be reconciled to God, and Dr. Ron Jones shares it with us next, on this Monday edition of Something Good. Some two thousand years ago, early in the Apostle Paul’s ministry, a group of people known as the Judaizers had tainted the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote the book of Galatians,...

I do not nullify the grace of God. For if righteousness were through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose. With these words in Galatians five, twenty-one, the Apostle Paul made his position clear. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. But when some began to poison the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul responded swiftly by writing the book of Gal...

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” That’s Second Corinthians nine, verse seven, and this is Something Good Radio. The Book of Second Corinthians is largely dedicated to Paul’s defense of his ministry. But it also contains the largest section on stewardship and financial giving in the ent...

In his first letter to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul was disciplinary. In his second, he was defensive. What changed? Well, the Apostle Paul wasn’t always an apostle. He was once Saul of Tarsus, who persecuted the followers of Christ and did so in the name of Christ. After his conversion and subsequent rise to a position of authority in the church, some...

Let’s talk about love, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Corinthian church had plenty of problems, and plenty of questions. Questions about the gift of speaking in tongues, about eating meat offered to idols, about divorce and remarriage. In First Corinthians, the Apostle Paul offers a practical response to these and other issues. ...

Here in America, if you want to take a trip to Sin City, you’ll go to Las Vegas. But in first century Greece, you’d have gone to Corinth. Corinth was Vegas before Vegas. Prostitution and debauchery ran rampant. And when a little of the pagan Corinthian culture began to infiltrate the church the Apostle Paul had planted there, Paul took pen to parchment and wrote them a letter. ...

Today, we return to the Book of Romans, a theological masterpiece, but one that can often be difficult to read and understand. The letter can be broken down into five parts, sin, salvation, sanctification, the sovereignty of God, and Christian service. It’s those final two, sovereignty and service, that Ron talks about next, as he continues hi...

It might be the most intimidating book in all the Bible. Dr. Ron Jones dives into it next, on this Thursday edition of Something Good Radio. Today, Ron launches Road Trip Number Seven in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” It begins with the book of Romans, a difficult book to read and understand, but more than worth the effort. ...

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.” Jesus spoke those words just before He ascended into heaven, and we find them recorded in Acts chapter one. This set the stage for all that followed. Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “Ro...

You could argue that the church in the Book of Acts did more for the growth of Christianity than all the generations that have followed put together. How did they do it? Ron calls it the early church IPO, the initial public outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that the first Christians were able to persevere through hardship and persecution t...

Why should we believe that Jesus is exactly who He claims to be? Find out next, on this Monday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Gospel of John offers many reasons to believe that Jesus is who He said He was. That was the purpose of John’s writing, to convince his readers to believe that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah. Today, Ron offers some rath...

Seeing is believing. Or is it? Well, to hear the Apostle John tell it, it’s the other way around. Believing is seeing. This truth is echoed throughout the Bible, but the Gospel of John places special emphasis on belief, as well as the Person in whom we should believe. John ultimately takes us to the deep end of theology and philosophy, and we dive into those waters next,&n...

When the days grew near for Jesus to be taken up, He set His face like a flint to go to Jerusalem.” That’s Luke nine, fifty-one, and this is Something Good Radio. Jesus’ spent His entire three-year ministry serving the needs of others. Healing them. Helping them. Teaching them. But He never lost sight of His primary purpose, to go to Jerusalem and give His life for th...
