I need to tell you something of critcal importance! I care about you as a person, and ( just know that you are listening to a hypocrite telling you these things I'm about to tell you; I don't honor them always as I should ) I very much urge you to listen to this to the finish: The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins- I speak for all who are children of God through faith in Jesus the Christ and His gospel, which can be thought of as being the story of Jesus's life, His purposes for being sent, and what He accomplished to win our salvation: now receive the knowledge of this truth: that our nature is sinful and that we have transgressed God and owe Him a debt of justice to be repaid; ( being hell; just forget your human logic behind justice ); we all are sinners and by default are due for the judgement of our sin, but with God's remarkable free gift of justification and forgiveness, with the work of Christ's life, the death+punishment and resurrection from the dead, being the "means" you could say, for this salvation of ours (the believers) to be won for us: whoever will have their faith ( and, according to my interpretation that this is not just a hearing of the facts, and claiming to yourself or to others "I believe it" with your mouth, and doesn't cause you to live according to the life Christ set out for us; but this rather is a faith that cries out to God "have MERCY on me!" and depends on Him ( Jesus and His finished work ) as your only hope for forgiveness and being saved, that through Him, you'll be pardoned from the Judgement of your Sins by God, because of His finished work, in what He came into this life to do, and you be reborn, ( a change of heart about your life and reality with your new knowledge of the truth, the truth that sets you free ) and be saved! Now, being a believer is not wearing a cross chain or putting a cross bumper sticker on your car or reposting some Christian meme on your phone; in fact there's so many people who *think* they're Christian, but they're living a lie, and that's scary. Faith without works is dead, and although we are saved by faith alone, the faith that SAVES is NEVER alone; thats like claiming you trust someone to catch you, but you won't do the trust fall to let them catch you; now if you believe Jesus, live according to the life he set out for us. ( we won't be perfect at it though ). Upon believing, once God marks you as His Own with the presence of the Holy Spirit ( the Spirit and power of God) in your heart, which will dwell within you!, this will bring about a life, bearing fruits for God! And you will be reborn as a new creature! With a renewed heart, no longer being a slave to your own sin but now walking by the Spirit ( described by the Bible as being a Comforter, Teacher, and Convictor of your sin to your conscience ) and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self, and passions contrary to the things of God). Basically in simpler terms that with being born again, with the Holy Spirit entering you forever, the Holy Spirit will influence your conscience/heart, prompting you away from walking in the deadness of the ways of your sin ( albeit, we won't be perfectly successful at it in this life; the Bible says that the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak; the Spirit and the flesh do battle against each other in the being of a person; we won't go on to be sinless, but surely we will sin - LESS, because Christ came not only to save us from the consequence of sin, but also from the power and influence of sin as we live out our lives ); repent your sins! Repent. Turn away from your sins ( again, I am hypocritical for saying this because I can always be better at honoring all these things I'm saying ), but dont take lightly the knowledge of the things of God and the chance you have to be saved in this life! Repent and believe in Christ and Christ's Gospel! Amen, i hope all who read this have a heart to hear; eternity is ETERNITY, and this life is NOT eternity; it's like a vapor in the wind; and again, the whole overall theme of everything I'm saying is GOOD NEWS- that's literally what "gospel" means, good news! We HAVE a savior! The Son of God Jesus Christ! What a glorious thing! And a strong hope for eternal life! There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus; they have passed from death ( and hell ) to life! My prayers and best wishes to you all who read this, Grace and Peace from the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father be with you!! ❤
This is beautiful, this amazing Man of God has truly been gifted by the Lord with a gift that those in heaven partake of casually. Its amazing to see this amazing child of the Lord in action. He is not of this world, and those who are rooted in the Lord are also not of this world, wanted to ask for a song request, HOLY FOREVER by Bethel Music, God bless you dad for being amazing, God is with you and your family always
Absolutely amazing. I know he could play it flawlessly how it was written if he wanted to. It's as if he gets bored and he needs to spice it up in his own fashion and that's amazing because everything is in perfect key and tempo. He adds apreggios and scales just for fun to fill in the gaps 🤣
Hi Derek and team. I was just wondering if Derek has ever heard Manuel De Falla's "Ritual Fire Dance". If not I highly recommend Alicia de Larrocha's version here on youtube. It's not an easy piece but it has a very memorable melody that sticks out. If I can catch a live stream I will definitely request it. Also, its a pretty distinctive spanish style piano piece that I would love hear Derek's take on. I haven't really heard him play anything with this spanish style before.
I think it’s more akin to how drummers tend to make odd movements and expressions when in the zone, as many others do in other types of performing, like sports, dance, video gaming, etc. Kobe’s rat face, for another famous example.
And why were you not at Paris performing this song… Right after Céline Dion performed hers. Maybe, she could’ve stayed on stage and you could’ve performed together… If there are in fact, words to this song. Love this song, they love the movie that goes with it. 1:30
Hello I hope all is well, I was wondering if you could play if I am with you, it’s a wonderful piece from a show called jjk. Thank you if you are able to play it.
Hey, Im wondering if Derek would like to give a listen to a band by the name of Polyphia, to a song of theird named Playing God? And if he was so intrigued by it, if he'd give his hand at a rendition of it? I just think he would have the loveliest time with a piece like it.
We each have something special. I love Derek’s special talent
My special taken is pooping without wiping :)

Casual perf.
Thanks for the thrills
Derek even dwarfs Beetroothoven and Liszt with his inventiveness, them guys would 'ave stood by in awe.
Absolutely wonderful to see this. I have a better understanding of this gift. ❤Beautiful.
The man just turns it on and delivers magic!
Thank you for being light in this world
( light of the world: Christ )

I'm sure you've heard this before, but I would love to see Derek's reaction to "Rush E"
Hi Derek, can you play TV advert jingles.
bravo

so interesting. i think he turns his head to listen to way the music sounds at different angles… He’s so locked in

can you do scenes from an italian restaurant by bill joel please :)
And why were you not at Paris performing this song… Right after Céline Dion performed hers. Maybe, she could’ve stayed on stage and you could’ve performed together… If there are in fact, words to this song. Love this song, they love the movie that goes with it. 1:30
Can you play "Playing God - polyphia"
This man is a solo orchestra
Bro, he scratched his face mid song & kept going like nothing 😂 just wow
Please play beer by itchy worms🙏🙏🙏im begging
Can you play Building Mode 1 from The Sims soundtrack??

he often likes to play scales up and down, i wonder why he does that
Amazing, but absolutelu nothing like Liszt
Sorry but that’s not Liszt at all. That’s chariots of fire with a touch of Czerny.
