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.

There is a difference between thinking about, pondering over, or forming an opinion about something without facts or experience and seeking. Webster’s Desk Dictionary defines seeking as “to try to find, discover, or obtain truth.” One seeks by study, teaching, reading, prayer, interrogation, personal experience, digging in depth, searching for clues, and making use of all senses—sight, smell, sound, touch, and yes, even taste. Psalm 34:8 says, “Taste and see if the Lord is good!” The question becomes this: how many of these ways have you honestly sought truth?
“If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever”   (1 Chronicles 28:9).
“In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God”
(Psalm 10:4).
“Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart” (Psalm 119:2).
“I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me” (Proverbs 8:17).
“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6).
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33).
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened” (Matthew 7:7).
“God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us” (Acts 17:27).
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).
