More quotes by Ravi Zacharias
We do our universities a disservice when we brand them as a lost cause. There are some frightfully honest students out there, and when their questions are respectfully dealt with, many admit their vulnerability.
Ravi Zacharias
I do not believe that one can earnestly seek and find the priceless treasure of God's call without a devout prayer life. That is where God speaks.
Ravi Zacharias
We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right.
Ravi Zacharias
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
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
Success is more difficult to handle than failure.
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

Ravi Zacharias
If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.
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
Redemption is prior to righteousness. You cannot be righteous until you are first redeemed.
Ravi Zacharias
My longings, my hopes, my dreams, and my every effort has been to live for Him who rescued me, to study for Him who gave me this mind, to serve Him who fashioned my will, and to speak for Him who gave me a voice.
Ravi Zacharias
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
Only when holiness and worship meet can evil be conquered. For that, only the Christian message has the answer.
Ravi Zacharias
The use or abuse of Christianity in contradiction to the very message of the gospel reveals not the gospel for what it is, but the heart of man. That is why atheism is so bankrupt as a view of life, for it miserably fails to deal with the human condition as it really is.
Ravi Zacharias
All religions do not point to God
Ravi Zacharias
What is right has to win the day over what we may see as rights.
Ravi Zacharias
The New Atheists are not open or willing to go where the evidence leads, unless that evidence sustains their own naturalistic assumptions. They have covertly reduced all philosophical thought and deduction to-- ironically-fait h!
