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
We cannot discuss human rights, when we are denying people the right to live.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The first and foremost reality is that suffering and death are not only enemies of life, but a means of reminding us of life's twin realities, love and hate.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Today there is no greater force in the molding of the North American mind than the invasion of the imagination by the visual media.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Our intellect is not intended to be an end in itself, but only a means to the very mind of God.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
We all want Canaan without going through the wilderness.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Evil is a violation of purpose, the purpose of your creator and mine.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
As I see our world, I have never seen greater confusion, greater loss of meaning, greater uncertainty, and greater fear of what looms in front of us. Politics has gotten out of control everywhere. Nobody sees a mascot or a leader, and everyone wants to know what really lies ahead here.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The assurance of Heaven is never given to the person. And that's why at the core of the Christian faith is the grace of God. If there's one word I would grab from all of that, it's forgiveness - that you can be forgiven. I can be forgiven, and it is of the grace of God. But once you understand that, I think the ramifications are worldwide.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Ours is not a problem of the intellect but of spiritual poverty. That is why we need a Savior.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
Competence is a big word. It is important. I almost want to nuance it with the idea of giftedness because sometimes you can teach a lot of skills on exposition but a person may not have the competence or the giftedness to do it. Therefore, it is very important to have that.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
One of the most staggering truths of the Scriptures is to understand that we do not earn our way to heaven. ...works have a place--but as a demonstration of having received God's forgiveness, not as a badge of merit of having earned it.
Ravi Zacharias
