Derek's Story

I was a philosopher, a professional philosopher. And I looked here and looked there and looked everywhere for the answer to life’s problems. And then one night in 1941 in an army barrack room somewhere about midnight I had a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. And in that encounter I discovered I had met the answer. And then a little later I read in Colossians concerning Jesus Christ, “In Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” And I said to myself, “Why should I grub around any longer in the rubbish bins of human wisdom, when all the treasures are hidden in Jesus Christ?”
