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"

    From the time I first read this scripture there were two things that stood out to me. Jesus says that “no one can see” the Kingdom and then he says “no one may enter” the Kingdom…unless he is “born again.” Obviously both of these statements are true. To be born again is a prerequisite for both.
    We know that we must be born again according to John 3:3-18 and according to John 14:6 Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” I always like to say “The truth is that Jesus is the only way to life.” So, the only way we can “enter” the Kingdom of God is through believing in Jesus Christ as the only Son of the Father.
    However, to “see” the Kingdom of God is a little more involved. The word“see” really has three dimensions or levels; the first of which is Knowledge which equals Information. The second is Understanding which equals Comprehension. The third level is Wisdom which equals Application.
