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;

    "Here is what this mean for us. The world is created and built on the principles of the kingdom of God. Live according to the principles of the Kingdom and you will discover that life works, and your life is filled with certain blessings; I like to call it “God’s favor.” Go against the principles of the kingdom of God and you will experience everything from difficulty to disaster. God made the world, and he also built laws into it which determined the way we are to live. Every microscopic, living cell operates according to God’s design, as well as the farthest and largest star in space. What this means is that you can be an atheist and not believe in God, or a rebel who does not obey God, and it does not matter; you are still under those laws! You must obey the laws of God or invite disaster. You may not believe in God, but if you jump off a building which is 100 feet tall, you are going to die, because the physical law of gravity, which God has built into the universe, will prevail over your disbelief and rebellion. The moral laws of the universe work in the same way.    
    For example, your body was made for marriage and sexual fidelity within that relationship. If you walk according to that moral law, you will discover that life works best that way. If you break that moral law, you will discover that there are not only dysfunctional relationships that follow, but possible physical disease as well. Even the stress of a troubled relationship can cause physical and emotional problems. Your body was made to obey the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus. The whole world was made that way, because it is all based on the kingdom of God!
    The same holds true for what we call “social laws”. What are some examples of social laws? Things like love, respect, honesty, etc.  Life, for the most part and our relationships with others, is pretty good if we obey. If we fail, the opposite is true, and life is miserable. And, again, this is true whether you believe in Jesus and desire to obey him or not. We have the freedom to rebel against these kingdom principles, but we do not have the freedom to escape their consequences! You do not break God’s commandments, they break you — This is a fact which thoroughly frustrates those who do not wish to be under the reign of God; because ultimately, they are! You can build your house upon the Rock or on the sand. You do have the freedom to choose."
