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"

“So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?  If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”
    Notice that Jesus speaks of a “kingdom” and a “home” and you could add a “church”, a “business”, a government, even a nation. And, notice also that he did not say it “might not stand” he said it cannot stand!” The key of unity works both ways – as much as disunity locks up or binds God’s power and authority…unity will loose or release God’s power! The power of unity is so great that at the tower of Babel God himself said that nothing would be impossible to those who “unite” – who “agree” – who have the same “purpose and goals.” The final statement is this; “If the kingdom of God is within you, then the key of “childlike faith” and the key of “unity” must begin where?  IN YOU!
    How many Kingdom keys or principles do you think you can find? Whenever you come across what you think is a principle you should highlite it somehow. (Example – “You reap what you sow”) Do you think that is a principle of the Kingdom?
