Ravi Zacharias


Frederick Antony Ravi Kumar Zacharias was born in India in 1946 and immigrated to Canada with his family twenty years later. While pursuing a career in business management, his interest in theology grew; subsequently, he pursued this study during his undergraduate education. He received his Masters of Divinity from Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois. Well-versed in the disciplines of comparative religions, cults, and philosophy, he held the chair of Evangelism and Contemporary Thought at Alliance Theological Seminary for three and a half years.

He has multiple other doctorates and degrees from a variety of colleges and seminaries.

For 35 years Ravi Zacharias has spoken all over the world and in numerous universities, notably Harvard, Princeton, and Oxford University. He has addressed writers of the peace accord in South Africa, the president's cabinet and parliament in Peru, and military officers at the Lenin Military Academy and the Center for Geopolitical Strategy in Moscow. At the invitation of the President of Nigeria, he addressed delegates at the First Annual Prayer Breakfast for African Leaders held in Mozambique.

Dr. Zacharias has direct contact with key leaders, senators, congressmen, and governors who consult him on an ongoing basis. He has addressed the Florida Legislature and the Governor’s Prayer Breakfast in Texas, and has twice spoken at the Annual Prayer Breakfast at the United Nations in New York, which marks the beginning of the UN General Assembly each year. As the 2008 Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer, he gave addresses at the White House, the Pentagon, and The Cannon House.

Commentator Chuck Colson referred to Zacharias as "the great apologist of our time."

In our human imagination, we so often perceive our heroes to be something larger than life. We exalt them in ways that do them disservice. We make them to be almost plastic in our imaginations. And when they bleed or grow old or stumble, we either cast them aside or find some way to perpetuate the myth. To sustain this illusion in our minds, we build statues and erect monuments, and artists paint them with haloes to establish their surreal personae. We convince ourselves that they are or were something essentially different from the rest of us. This

Once humanity violated that single rule and took charge, however, hundreds of laws had to be passed, because each injunction could die the death of a thousand qualifications through constant exceptions to the rule.

La verdad, por tanto, es el hilo que separa la verdadera espiritualidad de la falsa. La espiritualidad no asigna relevancia a la vida; por el contrario, es la verdad lo que le otorga relevancia a la espiritualidad. No obstante, ¿dónde encontramos el hilo de la verdad? Bueno, Jesús nos dio la respuesta cuando dijo: «Si se mantie nen fieles a mis enseñanzas, serán realmente mis discípulos; y conocerán la verdad, y la verdad los hará libres» (Juan 8:31-32). Él también afirmó: «Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida» (Juan 14:6). En últimas, el hilo más importante que mantendrá unidos a todos los demás es que Jesús sea la verdad en tu vida. La Palabra es la verdad, es Cristo, y la verdadera libertad está inextricablemente conectada a él. Si rompes ese diseño, pierdes la vida. Si lo honras, encontrarás la verdadera libertad.

Morality was never a means of salvation for anyone. The moral threads of a life were intended to reflect and honor the God we serve; they are not a means of entering Heaven.

Teaching at best beckons us to morality, but it is not in itself efficacious. Teaching is like a mirror. It can show you if your face is dirty, but the mirror will not wash your face.

Jesus did not only teach or expound His message. He was identical with His message. “In Him,” say the Scriptures, “dwelt the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” He did not just proclaim the truth. He said, “I am the truth.” He did not just show a way. He said, “I am the Way.” He did not just open up vistas. He said, “I am the door.” “I am the Good Shepherd.” “I am the resurrection and the life.” “I am the I AM.” In

I do not believe that one can earnestly seek and find the priceless treasure of God’s call without a devout prayer life. Each of us is the temple of the Lord, and it was the Lord who said, “My house will be called a house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:7). That is where God speaks. The purpose of prayer and of God’s call in your life is not to make you number one in the world’s eyes, but to make him number one in your life. His calling is perfect, and he has a specific place for each one.

When God puts a broken life back together, He removes the scars because He builds from the inside out. And when God steadies a faltering life, He puts you on His footing.
