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
Image
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
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.
