Do Not Be Deceived

By Dr. Ron Jones

Magicians earn their living deceiving people using sleight of hand tricks. With an abracadabra and a now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t, rabbits disappear, handkerchiefs change color, and the queen of hearts moves to the top of the deck.

Far worse than a magician that tricks you is a false religious leader that deceives you. As the end of the age draws near, Jesus said, “False christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).

The best defense against a great deception is a strong dose of the truth. The truth will set you free. It will also protect you from the one who deceives.

what was the fashionable color of scarves at that time? if I remember well, the color orange was prominently displayed on the image!
Deondre Reichert says:
Personally, I love using orange color in images:)

Along with clarity of mind, visual design can also influence how we perceive truth and trust, even when it comes to choosing a color for a scarf. For anyone interested in using colors that evoke warmth and honesty in their work, I highly recommend checking out Skylum’s burnt orange color palette. It’s a beautiful, earthy shade that can add depth and sincerity to any image. Check it out here: Skylum’s Burnt Orange palette for a fresh take on your visual projects!

“Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”

Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

Ron's messages on Something Good Radio have brought me back to God and have led me to rededicate my life to Him.

I just want to take this moment to thank the Lord for what He is doing through you. ... We are thoroughly blessed by the wonderful expository preaching! There is so much more I could say, but I will end here. Thank you. my dear brother, so much.

Your program on the radio is great. I listen to you all the time. Truckers, van drivers and all deliverers are being saved listening to the programs you come up with. God bless you and continue to broadcast more salvation programs for all those on the road, at home, and at work.

My dad passed away. While driving home, I happened upon your radio show. You talked about redemption. I normally would not have listened, but I was intrigued by what I heard. I want to hear more. I’m not a religious person but I couldn’t turn the program off. I want to learn more.

Thank you so much for being a Bible preaching and teaching pastor! You have blessed us with your ministry, and we pray that God will continue to lead you to proclaim His word boldly.
