Quietest Place On Earth

By Dr. Ron Jones

Imagine a place so quiet you can hear your heart beat. Orfield Labs in Minnesota created an echo-free chamber that absorbs 99.99 percent of all sound, making it the quietest place on earth according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Corporations use the chamber to test the sound levels of products while NASA examines stress levels on astronauts. Not everyone fares well in such a quiet place. The longest anyone has endured the total silence is 45 minutes. Most become disoriented after only a few minutes.

We’ve become too accustomed to noisy places, which make it harder to put these words into practice: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

“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.
