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.

Scripture - Romans 1:18-32 
Let me put some of these scriptures together and emphasize the words that have to do with knowing God; “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them…Men are without excuse…For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him…They exchanged the truth of God for a lie…Futhermore, since they did not think it worth-while to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over… Although they knew God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these things but also approve of those who practice them”.
    When I think about the knowledge that most people have about God, I find that many people - both inside and outside - the church, know many of the stories…And they can name many of the people in God’s Word…But, some-how they missed the revelation of God himself.

    We speak of the Book of Revelation, being the last book of the Bible, but in fact, this whole book from beginning to end is a “revelation” of God. God’s whole purpose in giving us His Word is that we might come to know and understand him better…and, in that, to really come to “know” him, not just know about Him.
