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";
 
    Now, let’s look at Exodus 19:5 “and you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” (Which means separated unto God) It is by means of this covenant that Israel is organized into a nation. But, not an ordinary nation like all the others, Israel was to be a theocracy, a kingdom ruled by God.
    The covenant here is presented as being voluntary. Israel can choose to enter into the covenant or not, and the means of entrance is obedience. This covenant is made after the exodus from Egypt which is a symbol or type of redemption. The covenant is one of voluntary or willing obedience which follows God’s redeeming work. Is there any symbolism here? What ought to follow God’s redeeming work through Jesus in us? Obedience. Once again, the key word here is – “willing.”
