Luke Miller was born March 16, 1904 in Limestone County near Belle Mina, Alabama. In 1923 he married Mattie Lee Ballentine who was a great encouragement to him during his ministry. Another influence in Miller\u2019s life was Marshall Keeble, who baptized him in Decatur, Alabama.\u00a0 Keeble became a father-like figure in Miller\u2019s life. A few years later, after extensive preparation, Miller was ready to give his first sermon. The sermon, which Miller estimated would be 30 minutes, was given at a meeting conducted by Mr. Keeble. However, the excitement of the audience in Florence, Alabama led Miller to preaching his first sermon in three minutes. Miller spent a large amount of time in revival meetings with Mr. Keeble.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>The white Church of Christ in Port Arthur, Texas asked Miller to serve in their church in June of 1935 to preach a series of meetings to the African-American community of Port Arthur. Over his years of service in the Churches of Christ Miller baptized approximately 10,000 people. After one gospel meeting in Corsicana, Texas he baptized 216 people. In 1940 he published a collection of his sermons titled Miller\u2019s Sermons which explores topics from dancing to baptism by immersion.<\/p>\n
