Dr. Jim Carlson was in full-time ministry for forty years before retiring in 2011. He has Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Bethel Theological Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota.

After serving as a Navy Chaplain during the Vietnam War, he and Marilyn lived in Hawaii for six years and planted Calvary Church of the Pacific which overlooks Pearl Harbor. The congregation is still going strong and is presently pastored by a full-blooded Hawaiian, Dr. Peter Kamakawiwoole. In subsequent years, Rev. Carlson served as senior pastor of Village Baptist Church in Thornton, Colorado and Cornerstone Baptist Church in Ludington, Michigan (where he ministered for twenty-four years).

Jim and Marilyn have two sons, a daughter and eleven grandchildren. They retired to Kentucky to be near their daughter and her family. Jim is presently writing historical fiction and has two published novels on Amazon with a third coming out this August. His second novel, Edla’s Destiny, containing a clear presentation of the gospel, has been downloaded 4000 times by readers in ten countries during the past year.

God’s Plan for Your Life Are you certain you have eternal life and will go to Heaven when you die? What would you say if you were standing before God right now and He asked you, “Why should I let you into My Heaven?” God’s Purpose: God loves us and has a purpose for our lives. The Bible says it this way: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16) Our Need: As we search for meaning in life, we discover that our sinful nature keeps us from fulfilling God purpose for our lives. We are all sinners by nature and by choice. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) God’s Provision: God is holy and just and must punish sin. Yet He loves us and provides forgiveness for our sin. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6) Our Response: The only way Jesus can affect our lives is for us to receive Him. We must surrender to Jesus as Lord. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Rom. 10:9-10) My Commitment: “Dear Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God and died to forgive me of my sins. I know I have sinned. I ask You to forgive me. I turn from my sins, and I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. I want to live for You the rest of my life. Amen.”
