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.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We all want Canaan without going through the wilderness.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When we talk politics, we moralize. When we talk morality, we politicize.
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.

Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.

Truth by definition excludes.
Ravi Zacharias

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

Every time you get on your knees and pray to God, 'Holy' keeps the respect and reverence while 'Father' brings Him close & intimate.
Ravi Zacharias

We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
I thank the Lord that, even though things were so wrong in my life here, I finally was brought to the realization of what all those struggles were about. There are some wonderful things from your painful past, things with a beauty you may not have realized at the time.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Every religion at its core is exclusive.
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
In Christian engagement, the goal is to win the person who is of the other worldview - not to destroy the person.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When your life is changed by Jesus, you are a new creature. God not only changes what you do, He also changes what you want to do.
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
Our sense of wonder is a blessing from God, given so that we would be continually amazed at His beauty and creation.
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
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.

The questions of today's average young person, who is the product of America's intellectual bastions, have been virtually unaddressed by the church.

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