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.

    In the Book of Jeremiah 9:23 - “This is what the Lord says; Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom; or the strong man boast of his strength; or the rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast about this; that he understands and knows me”.  When someone knows God and has a relationship with Him, there are evidences of it in their lives;
1.   Those who know God shall “stand firm and take action” says Daniel 11:32.  In a world of ungodliness and apostasy they stand firm in their faith, and take action against those things that dishonor God. (Such is the story of Daniel and his three friends in the Book of Daniel chapter 3.)
2.   Those who know God desire to spend as much time possible with Him. Whether in worship, study, prayer, devotions, all these become priorities in our life. (Our desire is to know Him better.)
3.   Those who know God have a boldness for God. They are not afraid nor ashamed of their faith or their testimony of what God has done in their lives. Their boldness is not “arrogance” that pushes people away, but rather it draws others to want to know this God too. Remember, you can only testify to that which you have experienced personally.
4.   Those who know God know peace. Real peace. Peace of mind, peace of heart, and soul…a peace with God. And with peace, comes contentment. It’s a “peace that passes all understanding” – we have a hard time even explaining it.
