Ravi Zacharias
Image
To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right.
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
I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on our part to live it out.
Ravi Zacharias

Ravi Zacharias

Ravi Zacharias
Image
Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Isn't it ironic that after 70 years Russia wants God back while we are trying to kick him out?
Ravi Zacharias

If you can make any religion look idiotic, chances are you haven't understood that religion.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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!
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Life has been reduced to temporal pursuits disconnected from all the other disciplines necessary for life to be meaningfully engaged.
Ravi Zacharias

Changes in language often reflect the changing values of a culture.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Everyone - pantheist, atheist, skeptic, polytheist - has to answer these questions: 'Where did I come from? What is life's meaning? How do I define right from wrong and what happens to me when I die?' Those are the fulcrum points of our existence.
Ravi Zacharias

You see misery, you see misfortune, you see pain, you see suffering. It's all part of the fatalistic way of looking at life.
