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"

"Talk about hitting bottom, Solomon went from being God’s man full of wisdom, to having the Kingdom torn from his hands by God. And, the only reason God didn’t do it to Solomon directly was because of David. Not because of the good Solomon had done in the past, you see that didn’t matter. Solomon couldn’t say, “But God, I did this and I did this, I wrote three books of the Bible” - doesn’t that count? Those things didn’t really matter now, because a good start isn’t enough in the eyes of God.
Question; why did disaster strike in the life of Solomon and in the life of the Jewish nation? (Because they stopped walking in the ways of the Lord.) Any thoughts?
    And let’s not forget what God says one of the purposes of the Old Testament is, "these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come." (1st. Cor.10:11)
    Let me also ask; why has disaster struck our nation? Why is our debt getting bigger? Why is crime getting out of control? Why is morality at rock bottom? Why all the natural disasters? Why is aids and drugs claiming the lives of millions? Why are sinful lifestyles gaining an increasing acceptance? Why are so many hooked on drugs and alcohol? AND why are our young people violent, directionless, valueless and hopeless? I will answer my own question - Because our nation has left the God it once trusted in!
    You know it is so easy to sit back and judge our nation, to point our fingers and shake our heads and say to ourselves, "Man, I just don’t see why they don’t get it, how come they can’t see what is so obvious? But while we do that, there are many Christians who at one time accepted Christ, were immersed into His name, had their sins washed away and who laid a good foundation...they had a good start, but a good start isn’t enough in the eyes of God. A good start and past victories don’t make up for a lousy finish! By not voting or not speaking we are part of the problem."
