Well, I was asked to do an intro on myself, which is new to me...usually I just pop up on a forum and eventually people just get to know me as we go, but I guess its only fair I introduce myself, so ya'll know what you are dealing with.
Ya'll can call me Derk. I was raised in church and was saved at a young age, but in my teens fell away for some time into unrighteous living because I did not truly believe. However, through this struggle, I began to really seek the truth on my own. I began to study not only Christianity but also other religions, searching out the "contradictions" that each one had. I eventually returned to Christianity, as I could find no real contradictions in scripture, and found that the Bible was just too right to deny. No other "Holy Book" I have read came anywhere close. I returned to Christianity and a few weeks later surrendered my life to ministry.
Since then, I have been consistently studying scripture at a couple of different Christian Colleges and Seminaries. I do open air evangelism and go on the occasional missions trip as much as I can. I am deeply involved in the college ministry at my Church and am part of the leadership there.
My greatest weakness is that sometimes I can get too Political. I have very strong feelings about how this country should be led, and often can offend or burn people without knowing it or meaning to. If you could help me with that brothers, by helping keep me accountable for what I say, I would be greatly obliged.
So now ya'll know me. If you have any questions, fire away!
