Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

When we pray for a believer in Christ to be healed, God’s answer is always yes. Believe it or not, it’s true. When it comes to healing a born-again believer in Christ, the Lord’s answer is never no. This healing comes in three different ways, and Ron explains each of them today, as he wraps up his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

It’s one of the most frequently asked questions in the church. Why does God heal some and not others? In a manner of speaking, God does heal every believer in Christ. We’re either healed here, or else we’re healed in heaven. But in either case, we’re healed. Ron explores this subject today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Let me ask you, what do you think faith in Christ should look like during times of pain and suffering? In James chapter five, we’re told of four key decisions we can make to help us persevere through adversity in a way that glorifies God. Ron covered the first two in his last message, but he’ll circle back around to them today, and before he’s through, you’ll have a good understanding of all four. 

Jesus said it Himself. In this life you will have trouble. It sure would be nice if life were nothing but picnics and circuses. But the sad truth is all this world can promise us is one battle after another. The question is this: is your faith strong enough to endure pain and suffering and still let the world see the Jesus in you? Today’s message from James chapter five is straight ahead.  

God never asked her to give away all her money. She did it, anyway. Today, Ron takes us to a familiar story from the life of Christ. He and the disciples went to the temple, and they witnessed one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever see. That story and more come your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Failing to plan is better than failing to pray. But God never said you can’t do both. Nothing wrong with setting goals for yourself or having a vision for your life. But God should always be the most important part of the planning process.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. That’s Isaiah fifty-five, eight, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Anytime we’re in conflict with someone, we’re far better off asking the Lord how to handle it. God’s way is always better than a good way. So what exactly is God’s way to handle our disagreements?  

When you’re arguing with someone, the real enemy is someone else. Submit and resist. You’ll hear those two words several times over the next few moments together, as Ron explains how to resolve conflict God’s way and to overcome our adversary, the devil, in the process. Stay with us now as we continue the teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Sometimes God gives us grace for no reason other than His kindness. But every now and then, there’s a condition attached. When it comes to resolving conflict, God is more than willing to give you grace. But as you’ll see today, there’s something you have to do first.  

There’s a reason why we quarrel. And it may not be the reason you think. Make no mistake, conflict is unavoidable. And to learn how to handle it the right way, you need to know where it comes from. That’s what Ron helps us understand today, as he continues his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Which road are you on? The way of the world or the way of the Word. If you’re driving down the wrong road, it does no good to change lanes. You’ve got to change directions. Today, Ron shows you how, as he moves further down the road in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. That’s Proverbs eighteen, twenty-one, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can crush your spirit. All the more reason to choose our words wisely, to build people up, not tear them down.

If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? It’s an important question, one that all of us should ask of ourselves from time to time. Today, Ron explores this critical question as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

You weren’t saved by good works. But you were saved for good works. Long before God formed you in the womb, before the foundation of the world, in fact, He already had good works for you to do. Not to earn His salvation or approval, because you already have both. Stay with us now as we find out more as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
