Jesus; He lives for Himself! As He once died as our Substitute, He
now lives as our Substitute. The exchange is His life in place of
mine.

The Indispensable Principle

I would like to begin with what I call the indispensable principle.
When we come to study the Bible there are many helps. There are
word studies and books of sermons and all kinds of aids but there is
only one principle that is indispensable. You can’t live without it.
That is total reliance of God’s Holy Spirit. It’s God’s book. Only
God can reveal God. I can’t reveal God. Only God can reveal God.
This Bible is like the Lord Jesus. There is a human side and a divine
side. Some people only get the human side. Only God can give the
divine side. He promises that if we would come as little children He
would reveal Christ to us. Gal. 1:15&16, “But when He who had
set me apart even from my mother’s womb, and called me through
His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach
Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh
and blood…” What was true of Paul is true of each one of us. He
set you aside when you were born. In His grace He called you. Now
He wants to reveal His Son in you and then He’ll send you out.

I am Ed Miller and I’m a redeemed sinner and a lover of the Lord

a redeemed sinner can know the Lord on this side of heaven. I seek
Him and I pray that you are also seeking the Lord. I wish my Lillian
could have joined me. She has an illness and is unable to travel but
she promised that she will be praying for us during these days. I’m
following the suggestions of our Brother Frederic to share
fundamental truths. It’s limiting but it’s so important to have the
foundations. There are so many foundations, it was not easy to
choose which to speak on.
So, as I waited upon the Lord, I thought I would share the
foundations that have most helped me. Nothing will be new. I’m
sure you have heard all of this before. I pray that it will be alive and
fresh. The thing that is going to make it alive and fresh is that we’ll
