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." – Ravi Zacharias

Without the will, marriage is a
mockery; without emotion, it is a drudgery. You need both. – Ravi Zacharias – Ravi Zacharias
------------------------
Chivalry in love has nothing to do with the sweetness
of the appearance. It has everything to do with the tenderness of a heart
determined to serve. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------------------
"In
today's society, looking good and feeling good often trumps doing good and
being good. And some people don't know the difference anymore." – Ravi Zacharias
---------------------
Faith in the biblical sense is substantive, based on
the knowledge that the One in whom that faith is placed has proven that He is
worthy of that trust. In its essence, faith is a confidence in the person of
Jesus Christ and in His power, so that even when His power does not serve my
end, my confidence in Him remains because of who He is. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------
We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not
everything we believe is right. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------------------
A man rejects God neither because of
intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God
because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God. – Ravi Zacharias
---------------------
Time isn't just a fleeting thing. It never moves
forward without engraving its mark upon the heart—sometimes a stab, sometimes a
tender touch, sometimes a vise grip of spikes, sometimes a mortal wound. But
always an imprint. – Ravi Zacharias
----------------
I
have always marveled that so many religions exact revenge against dissenters.
It only weakens the appeal of their own faith and contradicts any claims they
might have made that "all religions are basically the same." If all
religions are indeed the same, why not let someone be "converted" to
another religion? – Ravi Zacharias
---------------------------
The Christian's
faith isn't a leap into the dark. It is a well-placed trust in the Light of the
world, Jesus. –Ravi Zacharias
--------------------------
We need
clarity & conviction. In an age of increasing relativism & soft
convictions, we must ask ourselves what we believe about the Gospel. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------------------
"The Gospel is a 'show and tell' faith. Love is
our primary apologetic and must frame our way. Truth and love are not opponents
but seamless partners in the Christian way of being." – Ravi Zacharias
-------------------
Apologetics
is the seasoning, the Gospel is the main course. You do not want too much of
the seasoning or it will make the main course insipid. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------------
Historic figures have homes to visit for posterity;
the Lord of history left no home. Luminaries leave libraries and write their
memoirs; He left one book, penned by ordinary people. Deliverers speak of
winning through might and conquest; He spoke of a place in the heart. – Ravi Zacharias
-------------------
You cannot enter the Kingdom of God
by being moral. You first need a redeemer, and science cannot give you that
answer. The answer is a Savior. – Ravi Zacharias
--------------------------
When truth is placed into a moral soil, it will sprout
& bring forth the right kind of fruit. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------------------
Love is hard work. It is the hardest work I know of,
work from which you are never entitled to take a vacation. – Ravi Zacharias
----------------------
Who is God? God is your Holy Father.
Every time you get on your knees
& pray to God, "Holy" keeps the respect & the reverence;
"Father" brings Him close & intimate.
The
Christian faith is the only faith that calls God our Father. – Ravi Zacharias
-------------------
A calling
owns you. A calling is greater than you
are. And you will take on the challenge
even with lesser pay." - Ravi Zacharias
----------------------
Keep doing what you’re doing; you
never know who is reading what you write in the quietness of their heart. –
Ravi Zacharias
--------------------
There is an immense difference
between a worldview that is not able to answer every question to complete
satisfaction and one whose answers are consistently contradictory. There is an
even greater difference between answers that contain paradoxes and those that
are systemically irreconcilable. - Ravi Zacharias
--------------------
Once again, the Christian faith
stands out as unique in this test, both as a system of thought and in the
answers it gives. Christianity does not promise that you will have every
question fully answered to your satisfaction before you die, but the answers it
gives are consistently consistent. There may be paradoxes within Christian
teaching and belief, but they are not irreconcilable. - Ravi Zacharias
--------------------
“Let me write
the songs of a nation, I don't care who writes its laws,” says Andrew Fletcher
Music is a language of the soul. Music brings emotion
into reality.
Music is very seductive. It can make the means and end
in itself. Don't let it become a God.
In forms we will differ and there maybe errors, but
never corrupt the substance.
The substance that you sing about must always be
pointing people to the truth that is greater than its instrument.
Our church needs balance - understanding music for
the young and not forgetting memories for the elderly.
Bring together the kind of music that will connect
the present to the future. – Ravi Zacharias
------------------------
The grace of forgiveness, because God
Himself has paid the price, is a Christian distinctive and stands splendidly
against our hate-filled, unforgiving world. God's forgiveness gives us a fresh
start. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------------
Time isn't just a fleeting thing. It
never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart—sometimes a stab,
sometimes a tender touch, sometimes a vise grip of spikes, sometimes a mortal
wound. But always an imprint. – Ravi Zacharias
----------------------------------
A common objection to the existence
of God goes something like this: "There cannot be a God, because there is
too much evil in this world."
Here's the problem with that
objection. When you say there's too much evil in this world you assume there's
good. When you assume there's good, you assume there's such a thing as a moral
law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil. But if you
assume a moral law, you must posit a moral Law Giver, but that's Who you're
trying to disprove and not prove. Because if there's no moral Law Giver,
there's no moral law. If there's no moral law, there's no good. If there's no
good, there's no evil. – Ravi Zacharias
-------------------------
The cross of Christ 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, comfort over sacrifice, feeling over
commitment, legality over justice, the body over the spirit, anger over
forgiveness, man over God. – Ravi Zacharias
-----------
Love is the supreme ethic. Where
there is the possibility of love, there must be the reality of free will. Where
there is the reality of free will, there will inevitably be the possibility of
sin. Where there is sin, there is the need for a Savior. Where there is a
Savior, there is the hope for redemption. – Ravi Zacharias
