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.

Truth is God’s nature and he doesn’t have anything in him to be anything else. His truth shows us the way things really are, and…how things will be - in the future - whether or not we choose to believe or heed His words.
    The Book of Titus begins with the words; “Paul, a servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of truth that leads to godliness”. Whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or any other aspect, His word is always true, and if heeded, leads to godliness.
     We are all familiar with the thought that our bodies need the right routine of food, rest, and exercise to run properly and efficiently. If filled up with the wrong fuel of alcohol, drugs, or an excess of the wrong foods, we lose our power, we begin to function improperly; and ultimately to “seize up” physic-ally. What we are slower to grasp, is that the same is true spiritually. We were also made to run spiritually on the practice of worship; law-keeping; truthfulness; honesty; self-control;  discipline; and service to God. If we abandon these things…or substitute other things in their place, we progressively “die” spiritually. The conscience dries up; our capacity for truth dwindles; loyalty and honesty are eaten away; and our character begins to disintegrate.
