Have you ever poured out your heart to God and felt like He might not even be listening? Believe it or not, there are times when God won’t hear our prayers, and other times when He won’t answer them. The good news is, there’s a way to make sure our prayers are getting through to Him. Today, Ron takes us through the four categories of prayer, as well as some of the hindrances to answered prayer. &nbs...
We’re not sinners because we sin; we sin because we’re sinners. In a fallen, sinful world, Jesus is our only hope. Through faith in Him, we gain eternal life, an unbreakable relationship with God. But in the meantime, we still sin, which frustrates our fellowship with God. Today, Ron takes a look at the four stages of temptation, and the four solutions to temptation, as ...
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” That’s Matthew six, thirteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Christian life is a battle against an unseen enemy. Purveyors of darkness that are not only powerful, but highly organized. Just how formidable are these forces of evil? What are their strengths and limitations? Ron shares a few answers next, as he continues his te...
It’s been said that resentment is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die. One of the foundational principles of Christ’s teaching is that we are called to forgive others. When we don’t, we’re only hurting ourselves, and the damage might be far worse than you think. Today, Ron takes us to a familiar parable that reminds us just how seriously God takes forgiveness. &nb...
When you ask God to forgive your debt, you might be asking Him for more than you think. You know, many of us are so used to debt that we almost take it for granted. But when it comes to the debt we owe God, it’s a grave situation, because the debt we owe Him is our life, both in this world and the next. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the debt we owe and at God’s debt forgiveness plan, as he con...
When Jesus taught us to pray “give us this day our daily bread,” He was talking about more than what we have for breakfast! Anytime we pray, including when we say the Lord’s Prayer, we’re declaring our dependence on God. And this phrase, "give us this day our daily bread," refers not only to the food that feeds the body, but food that nourishes the soul. Ron helps us better understand this truth to...
Every good gift and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. You may already be in the habit of thanking God for your food. But how often do you ask Him to provide it? James one, verse seventeen, reminds us that God is a generous God, and that every good thing we have comes from Him, including our next meal. Stay with us now as Ron con...
“Nevertheless, not My will but thine be done.” Jesus spoke those words in the Garden of Gethsemane … on the night before He was brutally tortured and crucified. And when He prayed that prayer, He was modeling for us what He taught us to pray in Matthew chapter six. Thy will be done. Today, Ron examines the decreed will of God, and the desired will of God, as he moves forward in his series, &ld...
Do you want to know what your priorities are? Take a good look at your bank statement. Jesus was a man with great power, uncommon passion, and a charismatic presence. But He was also a man of priority. He lived that way, and—in Matthew chapter six—He taught us to pray that way. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”
If you’ve been saved by faith in God the Son, then God the Father is also Your Father. Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we can boldly approach the throne of God and call Him “Father.” But, as you’ll hear today, His name is still hallowed, and we’re called to respect and revere Him accordingly. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Jesus W...
One of the most beautiful things about the Lord’s Prayer is found in the first two words, "Our Father." Jesus could have said, “My Father.” Instead, He said Our Father, and, in doing so, He invited all mankind to address Almighty God in this way. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the first stanza of the Lord’s Prayer, with special emphasis on these first two words—what ...
A passionate and effective prayer life is not built on repetition, but on relationship. There’s nothing wrong with having a conversation with God in which you praise Him more than once, or thank Him more than once, or make the same request more than once. But more than anything, prayer is about developing a deep, intimate relationship with the God who already knows your needs. Stay with us today as Ron moves ahead in his...
One of the best ways to learn to do something right, is to see what it looks like to do it wrong. In Matthew chapter six, Jesus gave us a template for talking to God, what you and I know as the Lord’s Prayer. But before He told us how to pray, He told us how not to pray. Ron takes us to this passage next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”
“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” That’s James five, sixteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. When James talks about fervent prayer, he’s encouraging us to pray with unbridled passion. Is that how you pray? If not, what would it take for you to start? Today, Ron offers some biblical insight into the power and necessity of a passionate prayer life,...
The day is coming when the door to salvation will close. But for now, it’s open to everyone. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the door of the sheep, and that His sheep hear His voice. In what ways does He talk to us? That’s what we’ll discover today in John chapter ten, as Ron continues his series, “Why Jesus? Seven Reasons He Is Still The One And Only.”
If you want to walk in the light today but don’t know how, you’ve come to the right place. In just a few moments, Ron takes a hard look at this hard saying of Jesus, one that will help you learn to follow the light, and walk in it continually.
What’s true of the body is true of the spirit. Knowledge of God cannot sustain intimacy with God. Today, Ron explores one of the hard sayings of Jesus, “I am the Bread of Life.” What did He mean? And how did those who were with Him respond to His words?
It’s the most important question you’ll ever ask: who am I and why am I here? Coming up next, Ron takes us to Exodus chapter three to remind us that deciding who we’ll be in this life is far less important than knowing where we’ll be in the next.
The world is filled with false gods and man-made idols. But there is only one “I AM.” Today, Ron begins his teaching series, “Why Jesus? Seven Reasons He Is Still The One And Only.” Along the way, you’ll discover not only who Jesus is, but why you should believe that He is who He claims to be.
What does the Bible say about heaven? Maybe not as much as you’d like, but more than you might think. God hasn’t told us everything about heaven, but He has given us a few glimpses. As you’ll hear Ron tell it today, it’s a little bit like watching a baseball game through a hole in a wooden fence. You can’t see the whole picture, but you can see enough to pique your interest. Stay with us now as Ron kic...
