Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Defeating Gluttony, Part 1

You may think of gluttony as being addicted to eating too much. But there’s far more to it than that. The Bible has plenty to say about gluttony. And when it does, it always includes words of caution about drunkenness. The word gluttony not only excessive eating, but excessive drinking. Ron digs in to the subject of gluttony today, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”

Defeating Laziness, Part 2

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come on you like a robber, and want like an armed man.” That’s Proverbs twenty-four, verses thirty-three and thirty-four. Being lazy may seem harmless enough … certainly not as destructive as anger, pride or lust. But there’s a reason slothfulness finds its way into this list of the seven deadly sins. Ron tells us all about it next, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”

Defeating Laziness, Part 1

Today, we come to the fourth of the seven deadly sins, laziness. At first blush, laziness doesn’t seem to be all that problematic. Certainly not at destructive as pride, anger or lust, the first three deadly sins. But as you’ll see during the next half hour or so, perpetual laziness brings with it some rather severe consequences.

Defeating Lust, Part 2

And Jesus said, “If your right eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it away.” What did Jesus mean by those words? Are we to take them literally? Ron has answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”

Defeating Lust, Part 1

“You have heard it said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Well, Jesus gave a lot of hard sayings during His life and ministry. The one you just heard was one of the hardest. What did He mean? What are the implications for you and me?  Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.”
