Light and Darkness

By Dr. Ron Jones

Light and darkness have a unique relationship. Can one exist without the other? Can light or darkness have meaning without the other? Such questions still puzzle scientists and philosophers alike.

The Apostle Paul carried gospel light into dark places throughout the ancient world, especially during his second missionary journey. The moral darkness of paganism hit Paul square in the face when he arrived in Athens, the city that was “full of idols” (Acts 17:16). The Athenians’ dark superstition was on public display and pricked Paul’s pure monotheistic heart.

On the contrary, Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12). Then, He turned to His disciples and said, “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14-16). Are you letting your light shine in dark places so others might glorify your Father in heaven?

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.

Cindy from Minnesota

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.
