About
I am a bi-vocational pastor in Cornerstone Church in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. I work in sales for a software company that helps small businesses and community organizations to easily update the content on their websites and get found on search engines. (Check the website, give me a call, mention my blog, and I’ll get you a deal.) In February I will celebrate my 10-year wedding anniversary to Diana. We have five children and we home-school.
For most of my blog posts I assume that I have a Christian audience. I welcome everyone to participate in the discussion. It’s just that most of my posts are of interest to Christians, so I generally assume commonality on that ground.
I love to embrace questions and doubts. I don’t mean that I will answer your questions and doubts, though I may be able to. But I have plenty of my own. They caused me to take several years off from ministry, and at one point question whether I was really a Christian anymore. I think I’ve found a path through the question back to a position of faith, but I’ve still got all sorts of concerns and doubts. I’ve come out different on the other end than I was at the beginning.
I enjoy being challenged (though, of course, not attacked). I welcome your feedback whether you agree or disagree. Come join the feast.
…Okay, it’s a stupid blog title. Got something better? Drop me a line.
I saw your blog entitled “N. T. Wright Wrecked My Life” and decided to try to contact you. I am planning to do some articles on Daniel for planetpreterist.com that will be centered around the theme of repudiating the view toward Daniel held by Wright and others of similar persuasion. If you are interested in dialoging with me, please send me your email contact.

The book of Daniel reveals the history of Israel, not the history of the church (except that the church is promised as an everlasting kingdom in chapter 7 of Daniel). Those who have tried to make Daniel something besides a history of Israel have totally missed the mark. Also, those who do not believe in predictive prophecy will never be able to understand Daniel. The chrono-specific Danielic prophecies have been greatly misinterpreted over the years for that reason, and because, as the Book of Daniel itself tells us, the prophecies were sealed up by God centuries ago, to be understood fully only at the time of the end, which is now (the modern ingathering of Jews to Israel is the evidence showing that we are living in the time of the end). I’ve written a new book (“Daniel Unsealed: An Explanation of the Chrono-specific Prophecies in the Book of Daniel, chapters 7-12″) that explains the prophecies and the way God is using Israel in history, including our own time. It simply takes the chrono-specific prophecies (all of them) and matches each with its fulfillment in history. I might add, all of the prophecies in Daniel have now been fulfilled, with the exception of the resurrection of Daniel mentioned in chapter 12 of Daniel, and I explain them in the book. You can check out Chapter One of my book at http://www.prophecysociety.org and decide for yourself if it’s of any interest to you. Chapter One explains how the capture of the Temple Mount in 1967 was the fulfillment of chapter 8 in Daniel. God bless your search for His truth.
