We do our universities a disservice when we brand them as a lost cause. There are some frightfully honest students out there, and when their questions are respectfully dealt with, many admit their vulnerability.

More quotes by Ravi Zacharias
You can't take treasured beliefs from the past and mock them.
Ravi Zacharias
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
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
Competence is a big word. It is important. I almost want to nuance it with the idea of giftedness because sometimes you can teach a lot of skills on exposition but a person may not have the competence or the giftedness to do it. Therefore, it is very important to have that.
Ravi Zacharias
Only when holiness and worship meet can evil be conquered. For that, only the Christian message has the answer.
Ravi Zacharias
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
We have to find the back door to peoples' hearts because the front door is heavily guarded.
Ravi Zacharias
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?
Ravi Zacharias
What you applaud you encourage, but beware what you celebrate.
Ravi Zacharias
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
The world is larger and more beautiful than my little struggle.
Ravi Zacharias
In Christian engagement, the goal is to win the person who is of the other worldview - not to destroy the person.
Ravi Zacharias
God put enough into the world to make faith in Him a reasonable thing. But He left enough out to make it impossible to live by reason alone.
Ravi Zacharias
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.
Ravi Zacharias
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
It is easier to hide behind philosophical arguments, heavily footnoted for effect, than it is to admit our hurts, our confusions, our loves, and our passions in the marketplace of life's heartfelt transactions.
Ravi Zacharias
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
The mocker will not have the last laugh. You see, dancing on the grave of an extinguished Christianity is farcical at best. Because the grave is empty. And the one who knows the way out of the grave sits in the heavens and laughs.
Ravi Zacharias
There is a danger when we give young people only a catalog of dos and don'ts. In these young minds, the gospel is not intellectually credible.
Ravi Zacharias
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.
Ravi Zacharias
