Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Returning to the basics of our Christian faith, on today’s Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, the book of Ephesians can be neatly divided into two sections. In the first three chapter, the Apostle Paul focuses on theology. In the final three chapters he shifts away from doctrine and turns his attention to duty.  And one of the first duties he mentions is that all of us are called to be part of a local body of believers.

You may not know it yet, but if you’re a believer in Christ, you have been made spiritually wealthy. Well, the book of Ephesians is one of four prison epistles written by the Apostle Paul. He was under house arrest in Rome when he penned this letter. The Ephesian believers were living like spiritual paupers, and Paul wanted to change their perspective. Perhaps you need a change of perspective today. If so, stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”

You can’t get right with God by trying harder or doing better. There is only one way to be reconciled to God, and Dr. Ron Jones shares it with us next, on this Monday edition of Something Good. Some two thousand years ago, early in the Apostle Paul’s ministry, a group of people known as the Judaizers had tainted the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote the book of Galatians, at least in part, to refute those false claims. Ron takes us there today, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”

"I do not nullify the grace of God. For if righteousness were through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose." With these words in Galatians five, twenty-one, the Apostle Paul made his position clear. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. But when some began to poison the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul responded swiftly by writing the book of Galatians. Ron takes us there next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” The Book of Second Corinthians is largely dedicated to Paul’s defense of his ministry.  But it also contains the largest section on stewardship and financial giving in the entire New Testament. Is tithing strictly an Old Testament idea? Is it part of the Mosaic Law? And is it still relevant today?  Decide for yourself, as Ron dives into this passage today as part of his continuing series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
