My longings, my hopes, my dreams, and my every effort has been to live for Him who rescued me, to study for Him who gave me this mind, to serve Him who fashioned my will, and to speak for Him who gave me a voice.

Ravi Zacharias

What we need is not a religion that is right where we are right, but one that is right where we are wrong.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Need Oneself Religion Right Wrong
I am absolutely convinced that meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain; meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure. And that is why we find ourselves emptied of meaning with our pantries still full.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Happiness Meaning Ourselves Pain
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

Acceptance Offering Purpose Religious Strength
You’ll never get to a person’s soul until you understand their hurts.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Hurt Person Soul Understand Yourself
Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Apology Fragment Greatness Love Need Person Willing
Having killed God, the atheist is left with no reason for being, no morality to espouse, no meaning to life, and no hope beyond the grave.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Beyond God Grave Hope Kill Life Meaning Reason
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

Alone Enough Faith God Himself Impossible Reason World
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

Demand God Himself Intellectual Man Need Refusal Rejection
Love is as much a question of the will as it is of the emotion. And if you WILL to love somebody, you can.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Emotion Love Question Willing Yourself
Where the eye is focused, there the imagination finds its raw material. The right focus must be won at immense cost and discipline. Train the eye to see the good, and the imagination will follow suit.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Discipline Eyes Focus Follow Imagination Material Raw
Who is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Answer Goal God Purpose Question Satisfaction Seek Truth Yourself
A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Dangerous Feeling Mindset State
The ultimate test of any civilization is how we treat the most vulnerable… what we do to our children. Our world has lost its direction.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Children Civilization Direction Lost Ourselves Ultimate
You cannot really have the world and hold on to it. It is all too temporary and the more you try to hold on to it, the more it actually holds you. By contrast, the more you hold on to the true and the good, the more you are free to really live.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Goodness Hold Live Temporary True World Yourself
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

Dance Grave Heaven Laughter Oneself See
Many Christians have so busied themselves with programs and activities that they no longer know how to be silent and meditate on God’s word or recognize the mysteries that are in the Person of Christ.
RAVI ZACHARIAS

Activity Busy God Meditation Mystery Person Program Recognition Silence
