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;

    So, what have we missed? We have missed the greatest invitation of all time to be a part of the kingdom of God; and to be a part of it NOW! The Kingdom Of God, is not just a concept about something that is in the future, (about heaven) the kingdom is a dynamic reality that we are invited to live in right now, today.
   In Matthew 7:13 Jesus said; and listen to this with a “here and now” perspective; “wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to LIFE, and only a few find it.”
    Just before this in 6:33 he said “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”. What are “all these things”? Worry about what will we eat, drink, and wear. Will we worry about these when we get to heaven? No, we worry about them here and now.
    OKAY – if the kingdom is available now - to everyone - and if the kingdom here and now is place of transformation…then I have to ask; how much transformation into the likeness of Christ do we see taking place in His church?
