Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

He fooled his brother. He deceived his father. He was a trickster and a swindler. And then one day, he picked a fight with God. Today, Ron takes us once again to the story of Jacob, a con man in his early years, a hero of the faith later on. How did this transformation come about? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Cracked Pots: How The Gl...

The first wrestling match, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Well, long before WrestleMania came along in the nineteen-eighties, there was a swindler named Jacob who decided to do the unthinkable. He picked a fight with God.  And even though he lost, he lived. And his life was never the same. Ron takes us to the story of Jacob next … as he continu...

He was once a confident, at times arrogant, young man. Forty years later, on the west side of the wilderness, we find a man whose confidence is all but gone. Today, Ron takes you to that West Side story, to the burning bush where God places a calling on Moses’ life, and Moses does everything he can to get out of it.

If you’re looking for buried treasure, look inside the person you see in your mirror. The Apostle said we, as believers in Christ, have a treasure in earthen vessels. That treasure is the power of God, the power of Christ in us. Today, Ron shows us what that treasure looks like by taking us to the story of one of the greatest heroes of the Christian faith.

“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.” Does that sound like you today? Do you feel inadequate in some areas, weak and powerless?  Are you struggling with sin that has you feeling unworthy? Well, God wants to help you work through these struggles. But in the m...

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” That’s Second Corinthians four, verse seven, and this is something good radio. Today, Ron begins his teaching series, “Cracked Pots: How the Glory of God Shines Through Our Brokenness.”

Whoever loves money never has enough. Whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. Those words of wisdom came from Solomon, in Ecclesiastes chapter five verse ten. Today, Ron explains how the love of money can wreak havoc in our relationship with God. It’s the final installment of his teaching series, “His Money, Your Faith,” and it comes your way next.

Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. In just a few moments, Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Fa...

Have you fallen into the debt trap today? If you’d like to climb out but don’t know how, you’ve come to the right place. Today, Ron shares five practical steps to getting out of debt. They aren’t easy, but they are doable. And let’s face it, no matter how hard getting out of debt may be, it’s far easier than staying in it.

Today, Ron takes us to the all-too-familiar problem of consumer debt. Many people struggle to make ends meet, and part of the problem is they’ve made a bad choice or two along the way. How can you get debt free? What is God’s plan for your finances? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “His Money, Your Faith.”

When you look at your bank account, it may seem like you can’t afford to tithe. The truth is, you can’t afford not to. Today, Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith” by giving us an in-depth look at God’s financial plan, what Ron calls the ten-ten-eighty plan. It’s biblical, it’s practical, and it’s essential for your financial health and your spir...

There are over two thousand verses in Scripture that have to do with money. If it’s that important to God, it should be equally important to us. God’s Word offers us several principles to help keep us from becoming slaves to debt. But as you’ll see today, financial freedom is not the only kind of freedom God offers us.

If you’re wondering if God cares about the way we use our money, consider this, the Bible contains more than two thousand verses on the subject. Money can often distract us from doing God’s will, and it has the potential to enslave us if we’re not careful. Today, Ron shares three keys to managing our finances God’s way as he continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith.”

When Pontius Pilate told Jesus that he had the authority to set Him free, Jesus said, “You would have no authority at all unless it was given to you from above.” Today, Ron reminds us that nothing we have is ours. We are stewards, not owners, of our money, our time, our talents. And when we learn to use our resources God’s way, we may be surprised by the results.

Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. We read those words in Matthew twenty-five, verse thirty-two. What does it mean, and when does this judgment take place? Answers come your way next, as Ron wraps up his teaching series,“What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with Him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. That’s Matthew twenty-five, thirty-one, and this is Something Good. Just days before Jesus went to the cross to pay for the sin of mankind, He said these words to His disciples in what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Today, Ron takes us there, to that day of both joy...

Well done my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of much. Now enter into the joy of your Master. Would you like to hear Jesus say those words to you at the end of the age? If so, stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”

What does it mean to be faithful? Today Ron explores one of the most well-known parables of Jesus. It’s about stewardship, money management, but most of all, it’s about being faithful in all things, just as God is always faithful to us.

The difference between religion and redemption, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good Radio. In Matthew chapter twenty-five, Jesus shares the Parable of the Ten Virgins with His disciples. It’s a story about marriage, but more importantly, about the relationship between Jesus and His bride, the church. Ron unpacks this parable today as he continues his teaching series, “What On...

When Jesus comes again, He will return like a thief in the night. He’ll also be coming like a groom for His bride. Well, what does marriage have to do with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? Perhaps much more than you may have guessed. Ron dives into the subject next, as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. In Luke twenty-one, verse twenty-seven, Jesus spoke those words in reference to His Second Coming, a future event that has been described as the most climactic event in human history. No one knows the day or the hour, but the question Ron wants to ask you today is, in light of what will happen then, how...

The secret things belong to the Lord our God. Deuteronomy twenty-nine, twenty-nine. What are these secret things God is keeping to Himself? Well, there’s one thing in particular, about which almost all of us, believers and unbelievers alike … have been curious for Centuries. Even the angels don’t have the answer.  Ron takes us to heaven’s most closely guarded&nbs...

The prophets spoke of it in the Old Testament. Angels have made reference to it in the book of Acts. Jesus talked about it Himself in the Olivet Discourse. The Second Coming of Christ, on today’s edition of Something Good. The Second Coming of Jesus is mentioned almost two thousand times in Scripture. When God talks about something that much, He’s trying to get our attenti...

Today, Ron takes us to what will be the most climactic even in human history as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”  Brace yourself, today’s message promises to be one you won’t soon forget.

Therefore God will send them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth. That’s Second Thessalonians chapter two, and this is Something Good. Well, those are ominous words from the book of Second Thessalonians. But make no mistake, in the last days there will be strong delusion, and God i...
