Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Defeating Greed, Part 2

In Ecclesiastes five, verse ten, King Solomon write, “He who loves money never has money enough.” Consider the negative impact of greed. It can divide churches, ruin families, and severely impact your fellowship with God. Today, Ron tells us how we can defeat this deadly sin as we wraps up his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”

Defeating Greed, Part 1

It is not money, but the love of money, that is the root of all kinds of evil. Well, for the past two weeks, Ron has taken us on a journey through the first six of the seven deadly sins. Pride. Anger. Lust. Laziness. Gluttony. Envy. Today, we come to the seventh and final one on the list, greed. God’s Word has much to say about this dangerous vice, and the corresponding virtue that we can use to defeat it. Ron takes us there next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”

Defeating Envy, Part 2

Every vice has a corresponding virtue, one that can help you overcome the sins that drag you down. Today Ron takes us once again to the deadly sin of envy, a vice that can lead to all sorts of larger problems, including murder, adultery and idolatry. What virtue we can use to defeat the deadly sin of envy?  Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”

Defeating Envy, Part 1

In James chapter four, verse two, we read these sobering words. “You envy and cannot obtain, so you quarrel and fight." Well, today Ron takes us to the sixth of the seven deadly sins, envy. It stirs up untold amounts of strife, in relationships … in the church, and as we’ve seen for the past few months, it can divide our society at large. How can we overcome this deadly sin?  Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”

Defeating Gluttony, Part 2

Self-indulgence is the enemy of self-denial and the enemy of Christian discipleship. Those aren’t my words. They’re the words of Dr. Ron Jones, lead pastor at Atlantic Shores Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Well, the world preaches self-improvement and self-indulgence. Jesus taught self-denial and self-restraint. Today, Ron sets the table for us on how to overcome the deadly sin of gluttony.
