Image
When your life is changed by Jesus, you are a new creature. God not only changes what you do, He also changes what you want to do.
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
Evil is a violation of purpose, the purpose of your creator and mine.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
God put enough into the world to make faith in Him a reasonable thing. But He left enough out to make it impossible to live by reason alone.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The first and foremost reality is that suffering and death are not only enemies of life, but a means of reminding us of life's twin realities, love and hate.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
You cannot talk about evil without assuming a moral framework.
Ravi Zacharias

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
The denial of an objective moral law, based on the compulsion to deny the existence of God, results ultimately in the denial of evil iteself.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When we talk politics, we moralize. When we talk morality, we politicize.
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
Image
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
Image
With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The four absolutes we all have in our minds: love, justice, evil, and forgiveness.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
To be born in India is to arrive into the world swimming in religion.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
If you can make any religion look idiotic, chances are you haven't understood that religion.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
Time isn't just a fleeting thing. It never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.
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
The questions of today's average young person, who is the product of America's intellectual bastions, have been virtually unaddressed by the church.
