Truth is not only a matter of offense, in that it makes certain assertions. It is also a matter of defense in that it must be able to make a cogent and sensible response to the counterpoints that are raised.

More quotes by Ravi Zacharias
An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Ravi Zacharias
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
Ravi Zacharias
I remember the time an older man asked me when I was young, Do you know what you are doing now? I thought it was some kind of trick question. Tell me, I said. You are building your memories, he replied, so make them good ones.
Ravi Zacharias
When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.
Ravi Zacharias
What is right has to win the day over what we may see as rights.
Ravi Zacharias
Having killed God, the atheist is left with no reason for being, no morality to espouse, no meaning to life, and no hope beyond the grave.
Ravi Zacharias
Truth cannot be sacrificed at the altar of pretended tolerance. Real tolerance is deference to all ideas, not indifference to the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
The questions of today's average young person, who is the product of America's intellectual bastions, have been virtually unaddressed by the church.
Ravi Zacharias
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.
Ravi Zacharias
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
What does it mean to be human? It means we are created in the image of God for the glorious reality of being in permanent fellowship with Him.
Ravi Zacharias
In the pursuit of truth, intent is prior to content, or to the availability of it. The love of truth and the willingness to submit to its demands is the first step.
Ravi Zacharias
I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on our part to live it out.
Ravi Zacharias
For the Christian, worship is co-extensive with life. Life is already an expression of worship.
Ravi Zacharias
But life's joys are only joys if they can be shared.
Ravi Zacharias
We need to learn how to handle critique and how to address an antagonist.
Ravi Zacharias
It is easier to hide behind philosophical arguments, heavily footnoted for effect, than it is to admit our hurts, our confusions, our loves, and our passions in the marketplace of life's heartfelt transactions.
Ravi Zacharias
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
Grace misunderstood will always lead to jealousy.
Ravi Zacharias
The grace of forgiveness, because God Himself has paid the price, is a Christian distinctive and stands splendidly against our hate-filled, unforgiving world. God's forgiveness gives us a fresh start.
