JOHN MILLER
JOHN MILLER (1882-1968) was born at Blackridge, Scotland of humble parents. He was saved in his youth, baptized and added to the assembly then at Blackridge, halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. He joined the service of the North British Railway Co. as a clerk but that occupation did not tax his mental talents. He belonged to a generation which produced many able brethren who had no opportunity of higher education in secular subjects. Their ability was used on the study of the Bible. There were a lot of such men in the Brethren Movement and some found their way into the Churches of God. He was one of them. At 26 years of age he became a full-time servant of the Lord and, at the relatively young age of 29 years, he was writing papers on doctrinal subjects for the overseers' conference. In 1925 when he was 42 years he was recognised as one of the leading brothers of the Churches of God. In the course of his work as a Lord's Servant he visited most parts of the Fellowship except Nigeria. In the U.K. he was known from the Shetland Isles to the Channel Isles, not only by saints in the Churches of God. He studied the whole scope of Bible teaching and his vision took in the world. As a man, he was a very able man; as a man of God, there were few his equal. He was outstanding in any group of men and at all times a pillar among his fellows. Had he been a politician he would have made his mark among the great ones of the earth. He spoke like an orator as one may hear from a few tapes of his ministry which are available. There are many, many articles in Needed Truth and Bible Studies and Intelligence. His notes of the books of the New Testament can be obtained from Hayes Press. He married Mary Smith, daughter of a former Lord's Servant, David Smith and they had ten children.

The Way of God - JOHN MILLER
CHAPTER ONE: THE WAY OF GOD IN GENESIS
The subject of The Way
runs through the entire Scriptures, and through all dispensations, from the garden of Eden right on to the Millennium. God has ever had a right way in which people should be found walking. The word way
may simply mean a passage or a road, but in the Scriptures way
as a manner of life has a much more frequent usage.
The first use of the term the way
in the Scriptures is in Genesis 3.24, which reads, So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
God, in planting the garden of Eden, planted the two most important trees in the midst of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2.9). When man sinned by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he became as God to know good and evil, but without the power to do the good, whereas God, who also knows good and evil, cannot do evil. This made a mighty difference between God and man both then and now, for by nature none of the human race can do good (Romans 3.9-12).
The fruit of the tree of life had quite evidently the power to do good to the body of man, and now man, in his spiritually dead state, lest he put forth his hand ... and eat, and live for ever
, was driven out of the garden of Eden. The Cherubim and the flame of a sword turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. God, who planted the garden of Eden, quite evidently made paths or ways in the garden, so He made a way to the tree of life. We are told nothing of a way to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. These two trees stand at the head of the story of mankind. Life and death were set before Adam and Eve, and they could make their choice. Moses said to Israel when he set the commandment of the law before them: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live
(Deuteronomy 30.19).
Many in Israel were like Adam and Eve; they chose death rather than life. It is still the same today, with sinners, and also in some cases with saints, who, instead of being guided by the word of God and exercising faith therein, give place to the thoughts of others or their own thoughts. See what God says about this in Isaiah 55.8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
The next reference to the way
is in the days of Noah, in times before the Flood. And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth
(Genesis 6.12). I
