Quote

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.

Image
In churches, we live with the danger of one-way verbal traffic.
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
The Biblical world-view is the only one that accepts the reality of evil and suffering while giving both the cause and the purpose, while offering God-given strength and sustenance in the midst of it.
Ravi Zacharias
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
The world is larger and more beautiful than my little struggle.
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
If you can make any religion look idiotic, chances are you haven't understood that religion.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We all want Canaan without going through the wilderness.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers who have been deified by man. Is that these moralists came to make bad people good. Jesus came to make dead people live!
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The mocker will not have the last laugh. You see, dancing on the grave of an extinguished Christianity is farcical at best. Because the grave is empty. And the one who knows the way out of the grave sits in the heavens and laughs.
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
For many in our high-paced world, despair is not a moment it is a way of life.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Evil is a violation of purpose, the purpose of your creator and mine.
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
Image
We talk so much about one's rights... so little about what is actually right.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
My longings, my hopes, my dreams, and my every effort has been to live for Him who rescued me, to study for Him who gave me this mind, to serve Him who fashioned my will, and to speak for Him who gave me a voice.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
In naturalism, man is actually very insignificant, but arrogates to himself stupendous power. In Christianity, man is actually the apex of created significance, but is called to see it in abject humility.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The person who demands a sign and at the same time has already determined that anything that cannot be explained scientifically is meaningless is not merely stacking the deck he is losing at his own game.
