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.

    Now, among these “communicable” attributes, theologians put wisdom. As God is wise in himself, so He imparts wisdom to man whom He has created. The first nine chapters of Proverbs are devoted to this subject of wisdom, and are worthy of our reading, meditation and study.
    In the New Testament (Eph. 5:15) we are told to “live as wise, not as unwise” In (Col. 4:5) “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders” And, of course, (James 1:5) “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, and it will be given unto him”.
    Where can we find the wisdom of God? The Bible tells us that we must first learn to reverence or “fear” God. It says “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” We must also learn to receive and understand God’s Word. Paul wrote to the Colossians; “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, with all wisdom”. He also told Timothy that “all scripture is able to make you wise unto salvation.”

    Many today who profess to be Christians never learn wisdom. I challenge you to look at your own life and ask “Where does your wisdom come from?” Do you spend as much time in God’s Word as you do reading the newspaper or watching T.V.?
