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 Promised Gift";


    "Without the death of Christ as a final sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary at Passover, we could never find complete forgiveness for our sin and the assurance of eternal life! Without the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, we would not have the power and the enablement we need to live the life to which we have been called to live until Jesus comes again at the Trumpet call of God!

    I want to close this teaching by telling you that that perhaps the most important thing I have spoken of is the “Feast of Trumpets.” It was a foreshadow, a symbol, of the return of Christ. And, like the Feast of Trumpets followed next in order after the Feast of weeks, so the coming of the Lord will be the next great event in the calendar of time since Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit.  Just how near it is, no one knows. But, if we see the true significance of God’s Word today, we can understand the importance of assurance and peace.
    If you are reading this and you are still standing on the wilderness side of the Jordan, so to speak; if you are still wandering and wondering in this world; I urge you to take care of this matter of the soul without delay. For “in the twinkling of an eye” the scripture says, “the trumpet will sound” – and my friends – in light of God’s Word; prophecy; and what is going on in our world today…I believe the lips are on the trumpet!"
