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 "The Kingdom;

    "Although God had no more prophets; although He did not speak; He was certainly present and in control of preparing the world and His covenant nation for the coming of Jesus who would teach and preach of the true kingdom of God that is “near you” and “in you” and is “to come!”
    The prophetic silence came to an end when John the Baptist appeared on the scene. Although John appears in the four Gospels of the New Testament, he was in fact the last of the Old Testament prophets. His death and the initiation of Jesus’ ministry marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. From this point forward the Kingdom of God would be preached and taught. Jesus came to reconnect us with the Father and his glorious Kingdom…the connecting link is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is what connects us (the physical) with the Kingdom of God (spiritual). Jesus said that He was “the Way” “the door” “the gate” “no one comes to the Father except through me” he said. So you could put this all together and say that; You must be “born again” in order to “see” much less understand or “enter” the Kingdom of Heaven…When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, we receive the Holy Spirit…the Holy Spirit is given to “convict; guide; teach; comfort; give understanding; give power to; and connect our spirit with God’s will and purpose for us. All of the Gospels help us to discover these facts! All of the Epistle letters of Paul help us to understand God’s expectations and how to live as “kingdom people”. The problem is that many people get stuck in the door! The purpose of both the Gospels and the Epistles are to prepare us for Revelation!"
