The joy God can give you does not depend on your circumstances. It exists in spite of them. The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Colossians from a Roman prison cell, and yet his letter is filled with patience and grace for the believers there. He encouraged them to endure life’s trials without letting those trials steal their joy. Today, Ron challeng…

It is appointed to man once to die, and--after that—the judgment. That’s Hebrews nine, twenty-seven, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. At the end of days, there will be not one, but two separate judgments. The Great White Throne Judgment, and The Judgment Seat of Christ. What will these judgments look like, and who will be judged?

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Coming your way next, Ron continues his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father’s House …

If you had twenty-four hours to live, what would you say to the people you love? What kind of conversation would you have? Something like that took place on the night before Jesus was crucified.

The phrase “fear not” is found three hundred and sixty-five times in the Bible, one for each day of the year. One of the reasons God spends so much time telling us not to be afraid is because in the flesh, we’re prone to being afraid. Fear of death. Fear of the valley. Fear of failure. Fear of success. How does fear compete with faith? And what did…

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me. Psalm twenty-three, verse three tells us that God leads us down the path of righteousness.
