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;

There are 4 ways that we can truly demonstrate our love for God:
First, we love God with our worship. “God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” When we worship God, it should be a genuine, grateful expression of our love; “we love because he first loved us.” We ought to come to church prepared to worship; prepared to show or demonstrate our love for God.
Second, we love God with our walk. It is through our lifestyle that we demonstrate our love.
Third, we love God with our words. The words we speak have a defining effect on our thoughts and our attitudes.
Fourth, we love God with our wants and wishes. What is it that you wish for today? What is the upper-most desire that directs your thoughts and your actions?
God does not expect us to come into his presence with perfect worship, or a perfect walk, or to be perfect in speech or in our desires; but he does expect us to grow in all these things.
