About me

I was born and raised in Northern (Superior) Wisconsin about 80 miles from the Canadian border; and, yes it gets very cold there! At the young age of 32 I began to feel called into ministry. One night at a church dinner, my wife Judy and I sat at a table next to our district superintendent. In the course of our conversation, he said that he had a small church that needed someone to supply the pulpit until he could appoint a new pastor. My pastor suggested that maybe I could do that. I agreed, and two Sundays later, my wife and I drove to that small rural church. Little did we know that I would fill the pulpit in that church for thirteen years!

I have now been in the ministry for 35 years after also serving churches in Virginia and Maryland. I am currently retired...well, sort of. In my retirement, I am now serving as part-time Pastor of First Evangelical Covenant Church in Superior Wi. I began writing books about seven years ago, and still enjoy speaking and teaching when I can. My wife Judy passed away in 2021and I have since remarried to My wife Crystal.

I have a deep desire to help people grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s Word. My books are what I call a “Quest for Discipleship”. As I said, I am a published author and I have nineteen books which include my latest called "Tell Me, Show Me, Fill Me, Change Me"; "In It For Life"; “By His Hand”; “Show and Tell”; “The Promised Gift”; “Jars of Clay”; “The Kingdom of God”; “From the Pastor’s Desk”; “More From the Pastor’s Desk”; "T.E.A.M."; "Let Earth Receive Her King"; "Therefore" "Principles from Proverbs"; "God's Top ten"; "Prayer Changes Things", "5 R's of Revelation" and two "Renewed Faith" 90 day devotionals all by Life Ministries Publishing.

Daily book quote - from In It For Life;
Chapter 2 - part 2
"God can do what He says He can do!"

    How often do we pray for something, while deep down inside, or way in the back of our minds, we don’t really think God will do it? That’s doubt. Not that we don’t believe God is able to do it, but, that somehow, for whatever reason that He won’t. Maybe because we have been brought up closer to the “cessationism” group, the “things like that don’t happen any more” group, then we like to think.  Listen, if we believe He is able, we must also believe He will! 
    Do you remember the statement I gave “A faith unchallenged is a faith unchanged?” For some people, their faith and their belief system hasn’t changed in so long, they have spiritual cobwebs.  Galations 5:25 says: “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” What does that mean?  It means that we need to keep up with what the Spirit is doing culturally and genera-tionally in and through the church. For some, it means that we need to broaden our biblical concepts of who God is and what He can do.
