Image
You cannot talk about evil without assuming a moral framework.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The church should provide a setting in which people can express their questions.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The Biblical world-view is the only one that accepts the reality of evil and suffering while giving both the cause and the purpose, while offering God-given strength and sustenance in the midst of it.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers who have been deified by man. Is that these moralists came to make bad people good. Jesus came to make dead people live!
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Time isn't just a fleeting thing. It never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When you find your definitions in God, you find the very purpose for which you were created. Put your hand into God's hand, know His absolutes, demonstrate His love, present His truth, and the message of redemption and transformation will take hold.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When secularization has had its full sway, it will leave a generation devoid of shame. And if you show me a generation that lacks shame, I will show you a generation that is monstrous in its appetite... never satisfied.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Life has been reduced to temporal pursuits disconnected from all the other disciplines necessary for life to be meaningfully engaged.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The four absolutes we all have in our minds: love, justice, evil, and forgiveness.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Everyone - pantheist, atheist, skeptic, polytheist - has to answer these questions: 'Where did I come from? What is life's meaning? How do I define right from wrong and what happens to me when I die?' Those are the fulcrum points of our existence.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
How have we come to a place in society where millions of babies can be slaughtered and disposed of in the name of progress? Shocking but real.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Our sense of wonder is a blessing from God, given so that we would be continually amazed at His beauty and creation.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
If you can make any religion look idiotic, chances are you haven't understood that religion.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When we talk politics, we moralize. When we talk morality, we politicize.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Wonder is retained by wise pondering.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
In a post-modern culture we need an apologetic that is felt and seen because if post-moderns are not feeling it, they are not believing it.
