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.

    When we look at the world in which we live, the vastness of the heavens as well as the beauty of a delicate flower, it immediately spawns the questions; Who? What? When? Where? Why? And How?  In searching for answers to those questions man has two avenues which to pursue; One leads to God, the other away from God. One accepts “IN the beginning God”…the other does not. The Bible matter of factly states that “anyone who comes to Him must first believe He exists”. That’s step one. We cannot search in the direction of God without step one. Amen?
    We can get to know God better because God has chosen to reveal himself in three specific ways; 1. Through Creation. 2. Through His Spirit. And, 3. Through His Word.
    Verses 7-11 speak of God’s Word, and we are given five different terms to describe it; “His Law; statutes; precepts; commands; and His ordinances”  The nature of these terms are described as “perfect; trustworthy; right; radiant; pure; sure; and righteous”. And the result of knowing these things it says; “revives the soul; gives wisdom; gives joy to the heart; gives light to the eyes; it endures forever; and are all together more precious than gold”;  “by them your servant is warned”… What parent has never said to their child; “Don’t say I didn’t warn you!”… But, “IN KEEPING THEM” - in doing them - in applying them to our lives - “There is great reward”… Not just reward in the sweet by and by, but great reward here and now! The avoidance of pain and stress and the consequences of wrong choices is great reward, is it not?
