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.

Faith in the biblical sense is substantive, based on the knowledge that the One in whom that faith is placed has proven that He is worthy of that trust. In its essence, faith is a confidence in the person of Jesus Christ and in His power, so that even when His power does not serve my end, my confidence in Him remains because of who He is.

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.

An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
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
I think the media plays into the hands of false induction, genuine seduction taking place, wrong deductions, and the inevitable reductions. That's the way and the path of the visual.
Ravi Zacharias

You can't take treasured beliefs from the past and mock them.
Ravi Zacharias

Truth has been relegated to subjectivity beauty has been subjugated to the beholder and as millions are idiotized night after night, a global commune has been constructed with the arts enjoying a totalitarian rule.

Evil is a violation of purpose, the purpose of your creator and mine.
Ravi Zacharias

The questions of today's average young person, who is the product of America's intellectual bastions, have been virtually unaddressed by the church.

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.

Wonder is retained by wise pondering.

Truth is not only a matter of offense, in that it makes certain assertions. It is also a matter of defense in that it must be able to make a cogent and sensible response to the counterpoints that are raised.
