Quote

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.

We all want Canaan without going through the wilderness.

Today there is no greater force in the molding of the North American mind than the invasion of the imagination by the visual media.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Love is hard work. It is the hardest work I know of, work from which you are never entitled to take a vacation.
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

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.

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.
Ravi Zacharias

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

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
We have to find the back door to peoples' hearts because the front door is heavily guarded.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Every worldview has to bring together reason and faith.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The cross stands as a mystery because it is foreign to everything we exalt- self over principle, power over meekness, the quick fix over the long haul, cover-up over confession, escapism over confrontation, conform over sacrifice, feeling over commitment, legality over justice, the body over the spirit, anger over forgiveness, man over God.

What you applaud you encourage, but beware what you celebrate.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
In his book Modern Times, the historian Paul Johnson referred to Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini as the three devils of the twentieth century. Interestingly, Nietzshean dogma influenced each of them.

Isn't it ironic that after 70 years Russia wants God back while we are trying to kick him out?
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Nothing, absolutely nothing, has a more direct bearing on the moral choices made by individuals or the purposes pursued by society than belief or disbelief in God.
Ravi Zacharias

What is right has to win the day over what we may see as rights.

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
When I do things my way, I exhaust pleasure very quickly. It is not that Christianity has failed to teach me how to delight in God's presence it is that I have failed by seeking pleasure through godless ways or by resisting God's provision for me because it is not what I want.
