Tremper Longman Tribute to Jack Miller
As an academic, my tendency is to turn my relationship with God into an object of study rather than a vital personal faith. I remember when my wife Alice and I moved to Philadelphia to teach at Westminster in 1981, the last place I wanted to go to church was New Life because I was interested in the truth and not in real life. When my wife dragged me to New Life, I found out that truth and passion for God are not at odds with each other. Jack modeled and taught us to be vulnerable and honest with God. He taught us to repent daily and pursue God.
