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"

What is a Kingdom?
*It has a King or Lord who is sovereign over all his domain.
*Succession of Rulership follows a bloodline.
*There is a domain or territory.
*There is a constitution or royal covenant.
*There are citizens or a community of subjects.
*There are laws and acceptable principles.
*There are certain rights or privileges.
*There is a code of ethics or acceptable lifestyle expectations.
*There usually is an army to enforce and protect.
*There is a “commonwealth” or economic security.
*There is a “social culture” of those who are part of the kingdom.

How many of these things can you find in the Bible concerning the “Kingdom of God” and you and I as the church as part of that kingdom?
    "We have already seen that God is a covenant making God; the first was a “covenant of obedience” between God and Adam; the second was a “covenant of nature” between God and Noah; the third was a “covenant of grace” between God and Abraham; the fourth covenant is a combination of the first and third, in that it is a covenant of “willing obedience and grace” between Himself and the people of Israel. Key word being “willing.” God never forces himself on anyone. We must willingly come to Christ and enter the Kingdom of God."
