Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Sin and sin’s ability, on this Monday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, we rarely talk about sin anymore. And we often fail to notice that many of the harsh realities of life are consequences of our sin against God. But God Himself talks about sin many times in His Word. Which is why today, Ron takes us to the book of Zephaniah as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.” It’s a book about the sin of man and the wrath of God, but it’s also a book about the blessings of God.  

In chapter one of Habakkuk, the prophet speaks of a confused faith, one with more questions than answers. In chapter two, he talks about a waiting faith. Today, Ron takes us to the good news in chapter three, where the prophet reaches a point of triumphant faith. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”  

Most of the Old Testament prophets spoke to the people on God’s behalf. But one of them did just the opposite, speaking to God on the people’s behalf. Well, the people in Habakkuk’s day had plenty of burning questions. They wanted to know why there is so much injustice in the world, and why God’s chosen people were being targeted by enemy nations. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Habakkuk, sharing some of the prophet’s questions as well as God’s answers, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”  

Consider these words from Nahum chapter one, verse three. “The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.” What is this Divine wrath the prophet Nahum warns us about? And who are the wicked people for whom this wrath is appointed? Answers are headed your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Minor Prophets.” 

God is a loving God. Merciful. Patient. Kind. But He can also be wrathful. We don’t like talking about the wrath of God. We’d rather focus on His grace, His compassion, His goodness, and mercy. But wrath is a very real part of His character. What does that wrath look like? For whom is it reserved? Ron has answers coming your way next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”

"And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." That’s Micah six, eight, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, what does it mean to do justice? To love mercy? To walk humbly with your God? What do these three qualities look like in day to day life? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, ““Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” 

“Social justice” is a popular theme here in the twenty-first century. But is modern-day social justice the same thing as biblical justice? The prophet Micah was a man of modest means, what today we might call a backwoods country preacher, and he cried out for justice to those who were oppressing the poor. What kind of justice was Micah talking about?  Is it the same as what many are demanding today?  Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”  

God sent the prophet Jonah to deliver a stern message to the rebellious people of Nineveh. Dr. Ron Jones shares their response to that message next, on this Thursday edition of Something Good. Today, we return to the book of Jonah and to his warning to Nineveh about the impending consequences of their sin. It’s a story of obedience, of repentance, and the God of second chances.  

It’s the greatest fish story ever told, and it comes your way next, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Today, we come to the story of Jonah, a runaway prophet who spent three days living in the belly of a great fish. This three-day period foreshadows Christ Himself and offers practical lessons for us today.  

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” Jesus said those words in His Sermon on the Mount. But the idea was communicated centuries earlier through the prophet Obadiah. That’s where Ron takes us next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”
