Image
A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
To be born in India is to arrive into the world swimming in religion.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.
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.
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
Time isn't just a fleeting thing. It never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference.
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
For many in our high-paced world, despair is not a moment it is a way of life.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
I do not believe that one can earnestly seek and find the priceless treasure of God's call without a devout prayer life. That is where God speaks.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Today, sensitivities are at an all-time high - and rightfully so. Tolerance of different races and religions have been lacking over the years, but pluralism has given way to relativism.
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
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
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
No matter how much we try to run away from this thirst for the answer to life, for the meaning of life, the intensity only gets stronger and stronger. We cannot escape these spiritual hungers.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
One of the most staggering truths of the Scriptures is to understand that we do not earn our way to heaven. ...works have a place--but as a demonstration of having received God's forgiveness, not as a badge of merit of having earned it.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Atheism is an exercise in intellectual contempt.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life.
Ravi Zacharias

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