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
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
Having killed God, the atheist is left with no reason for being, no morality to espouse, no meaning to life, and no hope beyond the grave.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
I am thoroughly convinced that when the last chapter of humanity is written, we will find that the implications of atheism, i.e., living without God, if consistently carried through, will have made life plainly unlivable within the limits of reason or even common sense
Ravi Zacharias

In Christian engagement, the goal is to win the person who is of the other worldview - not to destroy the person.
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.

The older we become, the more difficult it is to fill our hearts with wonder. Only God is big enough to keep filling us with wonder.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Today, sensitivities are at an all-time high - and rightfully so. Tolerance of different races and religions have been lacking over the years, but pluralism has given way to relativism.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
What does it mean to be human? It means we are created in the image of God for the glorious reality of being in permanent fellowship with Him.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
In churches, we live with the danger of one-way verbal traffic.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
All religions do not point to God
Ravi Zacharias
Image
To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer.
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
Image
What is right has to win the day over what we may see as rights.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We need to learn how to handle critique and how to address an antagonist.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The purpose of prayer and of God's call in your life isn't to make you number one in the world's eyes but to make Him number one in your life.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Does that not sound odd to you? When God decides who should live or die, he is immoral, When you decide who should live or die, it's your moral right. There was a pin-drop silence.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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.
