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
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
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

Ravi Zacharias

In a post-modern culture we need an apologetic that is felt and seen because if post-moderns are not feeling it, they are not believing it.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
You'll never get to a person's soul until you understand their hurts.
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
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
Only when holiness and worship meet can evil be conquered. For that, only the Christian message has the answer.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The older we become, the more difficult it is to fill our hearts with wonder. Only God is big enough to keep filling us with wonder.
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
To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge

You can't take treasured beliefs from the past and mock them.
