Pastor Ron Merrell · Sep 29, 2025
Pastor Ron Merrell teaches that the private practices God has given us — reading the Bible, prayer, fasting, Sabbath, solitude — are not mere disciplines to make us better Christians but the very means by which we develop and deepen an actual friendship with Jesus. Drawing on John 15, Psalm 1, Proverbs 4, and Luke 10, he calls believers to still themselves in God's Word, communicate with God without ceasing or censoring, and continually align their hearts with His, so that their walk with Christ moves from sporadic religious duty to an intimate, life-shaping friendship.
