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"

If the kingdom was to be God directed, with theocratic rule, then Samuel was God’s instrument for that purpose. This was all part of God’s original plan which would culminate with Jesus his Son ruling God’s Kingdom forever and ever! However, Israel wanted a human king to rule instead of God. They wanted to walk by sight and not by faith, but they had to learn that the wrong king is worse than no king at all. So God directs a series of events that brings Samuel and Saul together.
    Saul fails as king to follow God and it says in 1st Sam. 16:14 “the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul.”He did not lose his kingship, but he lost his power and ability to rule, and as such, Saul became a king who was just filling a position.
Question: Do you think this has anything at all to do with the 1000 year reign of Christ?
(I’m thinking along the line that many Christians seem to be just filling a role with no power.) On the other hand; “Well done, good and faithfulservant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things."
