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.

More quotes by Ravi Zacharias

Image
The grace of forgiveness, because God Himself has paid the price, is a Christian distinctive and stands splendidly against our hate-filled, unforgiving world. God's forgiveness gives us a fresh start.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We need to learn how to handle critique and how to address an antagonist.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
My premise is that the popular aphorism that 'all religions are fundamentally the same and only superficially different' simply is not true. It is more correct to say that all religions are, at best, superficially similar but fundamentally different.
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
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

Most of the intellectual elite of the USA completely disavow the idea of absolute truth.
Ravi Zacharias

If you can make any religion look idiotic, chances are you haven't understood that religion.
Ravi Zacharias

Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.
Ravi Zacharias

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.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
For many in our high-paced world, despair is not a moment it is a way of life.
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
When we talk politics, we moralize. When we talk morality, we politicize.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When you think of it, really there are four fundamental questions of life. Youve asked them, Ive asked them, every thinking person asks them. They boil down to this origin, meaning, morality and destiny. How did I come into being? What brings life meaning? How do I know right from wrong? Where am I headed after I die?
Ravi Zacharias

The world is larger and more beautiful than my little struggle.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
You see misery, you see misfortune, you see pain, you see suffering. It's all part of the fatalistic way of looking at life.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When secularization has had its full sway, it will leave a generation devoid of shame. And if you show me a generation that lacks shame, I will show you a generation that is monstrous in its appetite... never satisfied.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The four absolutes we all have in our minds: love, justice, evil, and forgiveness.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
There are so many needs in the world, and our hearts cannot carry them all. You must walk to the priorities God has set before you.
