Image
Truth cannot be sacrificed at the altar of pretended tolerance. Real tolerance is deference to all ideas, not indifference to the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We cannot discuss human rights, when we are denying people the right to live.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Christianity is not a political theory. It is not even a cultural theory. It is, at its root, all about changing the heart of each man and woman, boy and girl, so that we begin to think God's thoughts and act in accordance with his character.
Ravi Zacharias
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
Only when holiness and worship meet can evil be conquered. For that, only the Christian message has the answer.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
Evil is a violation of purpose, the purpose of your creator and mine.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
You cannot talk about evil without assuming a moral framework.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
How have we come to a place in society where millions of babies can be slaughtered and disposed of in the name of progress? Shocking but real.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Jesus came to save souls in his fathers name with love and only love that is why he turned up as a man, so why can't we see his real message?
Ravi Zacharias
Image
It can be frustrating to see how society has taken the sacred out of everything.
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
If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When secularization has had its full sway, it will leave a generation devoid of shame. And if you show me a generation that lacks shame, I will show you a generation that is monstrous in its appetite... never satisfied.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The atheist risk everything for the present and the future, on the basis of a belief that we are uncaused by any intelligent being. We just happen to be here. That one is willing to live and die in that belief is a very high price to pay for conjecture.
Ravi Zacharias

With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference.
