The Jack Miller Archive

John Freeman Tribute to Jack Miller

I remember being a young seminary student, fresh up to Philadelphia from the Bible Belt in the South. I thought I had landed on another planet when I first saw the neighborhoods around Borad and Olney Streets — the place where Jack class, Evangelsim and Discipleship, met every Monday afternoon for four hours. As we preached on the street, down in subways, and at Temple’s campus — Jack’s steady hope and expectation of “seeing what God’s going to do now”, in the moment is something I’ve carried with me for the past 25 years. It set the standard, for me, for realizing that God is always at work — and is pleased to use redeemed sinners like us to accomplish His work, as we step out of our comfort zones, by faith.
