About Pastor Dave

Until my retirement 2 years ago, I pastored an independent Bible church in Northwest Montana for nearly 38 years. During that time I also helped establish a Christian school, and a Bible Camp. I am married and have children and grandchildren.

So Little Time

                                                  One of my good friends with whom I worked at Hyster Company as an engineer many years ago always signed his communications: “So many books, so little time.”  As I was preparing my message for this past Sunday on the doctrine … Continue reading

When All Else Fails, Read the Instructions

        That little, seven-word warning ought to appear on every “some-assembly-required” package, whether it is a Bar-B-Que, a play structure, a plastic model airplane, or some  high-tech piece of equipment–anything that comes disassembled.
