About The Scarlet Worm

My name is Roger and I love and served my country as a Marine and as a police officer in my younger years. I now have 15 beautiful grandchildren I love to see as often as possible and impact their lives as well as my four great kids and their spouses. In my spare time I serve as the Director of Olivet Ministries International with my wonderful wife of 57 years, loving God's chosen people to Himself. Then during the month as the stress builds up I turn a wrench on my old 51' Willys pickup, per the doctor's orders or maybe throw a worm in the water and wait for the fish to bite or write another book. I asked God to let me finish 10 books before He takes me HOME. Two are with Amazon, one is with the publisher, two are with the editor, two are being written, that makes seven. Only three to go! And I can GO!

“Portraits of Prayer in Genesis” (Enoch – # 3)

Posted on August 3, 2011 by The Scarlet Worm

What is, ‘Faith’ anyway? The answer is found in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is simply believing, God! Faith is the confident assurance, the confident boasting, of … Continue reading →

“Portraits of Prayer in Genesis ” (Enoch – Part #2)

Posted on July 31, 2011 by The Scarlet Worm

‘Enoch walked with God and for God!’ We are given this fact two times in Gen. 5:22-24, I believe it’s repeated for emphasis so we won’t miss it. Gen. 5:22 says, “Enoch walked” (yalak) this word means, ‘to walk about.’ … Continue reading →
