Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

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.

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.”
