Image
We have to find the back door to peoples' hearts because the front door is heavily guarded.
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
Image
Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Christianity is not a political theory. It is not even a cultural theory. It is, at its root, all about changing the heart of each man and woman, boy and girl, so that we begin to think God's thoughts and act in accordance with his character.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Isn't it ironic that after 70 years Russia wants God back while we are trying to kick him out?
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
Only when holiness and worship meet can evil be conquered. For that, only the Christian message has the answer.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When we look into the human heart we see the lust, the greed, the hate, the pride, the anger, and the jealousies that are so destructive. This is at the heart of the human predicament, and the Scriptures call this condition sin.
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
We are redefining terms and rewriting laws and removing fences everywhere you turn, and we seem to think we can do that with impunity.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
For many in our high-paced world, despair is not a moment it is a way of life.
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
As I see our world, I have never seen greater confusion, greater loss of meaning, greater uncertainty, and greater fear of what looms in front of us. Politics has gotten out of control everywhere. Nobody sees a mascot or a leader, and everyone wants to know what really lies ahead here.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Grace misunderstood will always lead to jealousy.
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.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
What you applaud you encourage, but beware what you celebrate.
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?
