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.

More quotes by Ravi Zacharias
In today's society, looking good and feeling good often trumps doing good and being good. And some people don't know the difference anymore.
Ravi Zacharias
I am thoroughly convinced that when the last chapter of humanity is written, we will find that the implications of atheism, i.e., living without God, if consistently carried through, will have made life plainly unlivable within the limits of reason or even common sense
Ravi Zacharias
If you can make any religion look idiotic, chances are you haven't understood that religion.
Ravi Zacharias
If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.
Ravi Zacharias
The cross stands as a mystery because it is foreign to everything we exalt- self over principle, power over meekness, the quick fix over the long haul, cover-up over confession, escapism over confrontation, conform over sacrifice, feeling over commitment, legality over justice, the body over the spirit, anger over forgiveness, man over God.
Ravi Zacharias
In Christian engagement, the goal is to win the person who is of the other worldview - not to destroy the person.
Ravi Zacharias
Who is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
No matter how much we try to run away from this thirst for the answer to life, for the meaning of life, the intensity only gets stronger and stronger. We cannot escape these spiritual hungers.
Ravi Zacharias
We cannot discuss human rights, when we are denying people the right to live.
Ravi Zacharias
When we talk politics, we moralize. When we talk morality, we politicize.
Ravi Zacharias
Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.
Ravi Zacharias
There is a danger when we give young people only a catalog of dos and don'ts. In these young minds, the gospel is not intellectually credible.
Ravi Zacharias
To be born in India is to arrive into the world swimming in religion.
Ravi Zacharias
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
With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference.
Ravi Zacharias
The church should provide a setting in which people can express their questions.
Ravi Zacharias
In naturalism, man is actually very insignificant, but arrogates to himself stupendous power. In Christianity, man is actually the apex of created significance, but is called to see it in abject humility.
Ravi Zacharias
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
Life has been reduced to temporal pursuits disconnected from all the other disciplines necessary for life to be meaningfully engaged.
Ravi Zacharias
There are so many needs in the world, and our hearts cannot carry them all. You must walk to the priorities God has set before you.
