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."

Religions that attempt to keep the body sacred while denying the Creator’s hand are in the same boat as skeptics who try to protect life while saying it is nothing more than matter.

Listen to this incredible explanation by one of atheism’s champions, Richard Dawkins, of Oxford: In a universe of blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won’t find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no other good. Nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.5

But here, Christianity provides a counterchallenge to remind them that they have not escaped the problem of contradiction. If evil exists, then one must assume that good exists in order to know the difference. If good exists, one must assume that a moral law exists by which to measure good and evil. But if a moral law exists, must not one posit an ultimate source of moral law, or at least an objective basis for a moral law? By an objective basis, I mean something that is transcendingly true at all times, regardless of whether I believe it or not. This argument is very compelling and must be given due consideration by anyone who denies the existence of God but accepts the presence of evil.

El plan de Dios es que experimentemos un amor alimentado por su propio amor y practicado con sus límites prescritos. Piense a qué se parece el amor aparte de Dios. Millones de vidas son lastimadas diariamente en el nombre del amor, incluso hasta unas pocas vidas probablemente devastadas en su escuela hoy por desagradables notas para romper relaciones amorosas que son dejadas en las taquillas. El amor quizás haga que el mundo gire, pero el amor erróneo nos da mareos. El amor está en el corazón del gran plan de Dios para nosotros y nuestro mundo. La intención de Dios es que experimentemos su amor: un amor sagrado. Tenemos el tipo de amor correcto para pasar a otros cuando experimentamos su amor (1 Juan 4.19). ¿Qué tiene que ver todo esto con el sufrimiento? Todo. Como ve, cuando los escépticos afirman que un Dios bueno nos haría escoger solamente el bien, ignoran completamente lo que es el bien a los ojos de Dios. El bien comprende una elección. Es una vida voluntariamente y totalmente vivida para Dios aun cuando esa decisión es dura y costosa. Es un amor de Dios y para Dios que nos lleva a través de las más duras batallas de la vida. Cometemos un error mortal cuando pensamos que un amor aparte de Dios es todo lo que necesitamos para conducirnos a través de los momentos duros de la vida.

Hay una manera mejor de pensar acerca de nuestras mentes: la Biblia nos manda a renovar nuestras mentes para pensar como Él piensa, no quitarlas quirúrgicamente (Romanos 12.1-2). Anímese al pensar que la Biblia está llena de personas que pensaban fuertemente. Algunos hasta debatieron con Dios, pero no les cayó un rayo encima, ni fueron castigados de otra manera: • Moisés se preguntó si Dios había tomado la decisión correcta al enviarlo a liberar los israelitas esclavos en Egipto (Éxodo 3.11). • Habacuc miró al mal descontrolado y al sufrimiento del mundo y le gritó a Dios: «¿Hasta cuándo?» (Habacuc 1.2). • Natanael abiertamente expresó su cansada opinión de las raíces de Jesús (Juan 1.46). • A Tomás le permitieron ver y tocar las heridas de Cristo para creer que había resucitado de los muertos (Juan 20.24-29). • Los habitantes de Berea dedicaron tiempo para probar con las Escrituras hasta la enseñanza del apóstol Pablo (Hechos 17.11). • No somos suficientemente inteligentes. Eso es absolutamente falso. Me doy cuenta de que todos estamos creados con diferentes habilidades. Pero no tenga miedo del material que parece estar muy por encima de su entendimiento. ¡Usted sí tiene la habilidad de luchar en él! No diga: «Esto es demasiado duro para mí». Cuando era más joven, ponerse en puntillas para llegar al envase de galletas no lo hacía a usted más alto. Tratar con ideas es asombrosamente diferente. Extender su entendimiento le hace mucho más alto, mucho más inteligente, para su próximo estirón espiritual.

Without truth, spirituality is nothing more than a hopeless confession that sheer matter alone does not answer life’s deepest hungers. Truth is the thread that separates true spirituality from false spirituality. Spirituality does not give relevance to life; rather, truth gives relevance to spirituality.

The problem of pain has remained the single greatest question, not only for the skeptic who uses it as an excuse to doubt God’s existence, but also for the believer who questions God’s purpose.

Philosophically, you can believe anything, so long as you do not claim it to be true. Morally, you can practice anything, so long as you do not claim that it is a “better” way. Religiously, you can hold to anything, so long as you do not bring Jesus Christ into it. If a spiritual idea is eastern, it is granted critical immunity; if western, it is thoroughly criticized. Thus, a journalist can walk into a church and mock its carryings on, but he or she dare not do the same if the ceremony is from the eastern fold. Such is the mood at the end of the twentieth century.

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.
