Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

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.” 

I’m sure you have a favorite food, a favorite team, or a favorite vacation spot. But when it comes to the people around us, what Jesus calls our neighbors, the Lord asks us to play fair, not to play favorites. So how can we live a life free from partiality or favoritism? What would it look like in our day-to-day lives? Ron tackles the subject next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

God has never been one to play favorites. And He doesn’t want us to play them, either. The book of James says there’s no place for discrimination or favoritism in the body of Christ. As he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works,” Ron challenges us to take a hard look at how we treat the people around us and, if necessary, make changes.  

You can read about it, think about it, and talk about it. Or you can get out there and just do it. The word “religion” has a negative connotation in the world, and if you think about it, we don’t even like to use it in the church. But genuine religion doesn’t mean what we might think. As you’ll see today, it’s a transformational experience that leads to a life of submission to Jesus Christ and service to everyone else.  

When your mouth is open, your ears might as well be closed. There’s a time for talking, and a time for listening. And because God gave us two ears and only one mouth, we should probably do a whole lot more of the latter. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Tired of being reeled in by temptation? With God’s help, you don’t have to take the bait. First, there’s desire within us. Next, there’s deception around us. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at what comes next as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

You don’t have to leave your house to find temptation. In fact, you don’t even have to leave your own mind. Temptation is all around us.  On our TV screens, out in public, in our heads. Wherever we are, there it is. If you want a strategy to overcome temptation, or if you’d like to fine-tune the one you have, you’ve come to the right place. Because today, Ron takes you to the book of James to share some keys to winning this battle.  

When life falls apart, you don’t have to. Today, Ron shares an important message about the power of perseverance, as outlined for us in the book of James. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
