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."

All religions are not the same. All religions do not point to God. All religions do not say that all religions are the same. At the heart of every religion is an uncompromising commitment to a particular way of defining who God is or is not and accordingly, of defining life’s purpose.

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.

My relationship with God is intimate and personal. The Christian does not go to the temple to worship. The Christian takes the temple with him or her. Jesus lifts us beyond the building and pays the human body the highest compliment by making it His dwelling place, the place where He meets with us. Even today He would overturn the tables of those who make it a marketplace for their own lust, greed, and wealth.

I left the altar rail and went back to the pew where the others were kneeling like four shadows, four unrealities, and I hid my face in my hands. In the temple of God that I had just become, the once eternal and pure sacrifice was offered up to the God dwelling in me. The sacrifice of God to God. Now, Christ born in me, a new Bethlehem, and sacrificed in me his new Calvary, and risen in me: offering me to the Father, in himself, asking the Father, my Father and his, to receive me into his infinite and special love — not the love he has for all things that exist, for mere existence is a token of God’s love, but the love of those creatures who are drawn to him in and with the power of his own love for himself.3

In a culture rife with power and position, where the home bespoke volumes, shame would not be the path of choice for anyone. Had the virgin birth not been true, to assert that truth would be the path of cultural ostracism, if not suicide for all of them.

He came softly, unobserved, and yet, strange to say, everyone recognized Him. . . . The people are irresistibly drawn to Him, they surround Him, they flock about Him, follow Him. The sun of love burns in His heart, light and power shine from His eyes, and their radiance, shed on people, stirs their hearts with responsive love.

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.

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
