Last
night, my wife and I heard Christian apologist Ravi
Zacharias speak at one of the local churches in St. Louis. Our own church, Central Presbyterian
Church, was the host, but our church sanctuary is too small to accommodate
the crowds that would come to hear Zacharias.
And
come they did.
We
first heard him speak on a radio program some 14 or 15 years ago. We were
returning home from a family vacation at Gulf Shores, Alabama, and my wife was
trying to find a radio station somewhere in rural Mississippi. She finally
found one, and we listened to an incredible program, by a man with a wonderful
speaking voice and an intellect to match. We had never heard of him before, but
now we have, many times.
Here
are a few of the notes I took last night:
“The
hostility of atheists to Christianity is nothing more than hate and venom
masquerading as intellectual thought.”
“Truth
is that which conforms to reality as it really is. Truth, by definition, excludes.
Truth is exclusionary.”
“Sin
is never rational. Sin is never common-sensical. The human heart is desperately
wicked.”
“God
still uses us in spite of ourselves.”
I’ll
have more on what he said tomorrow.

So glad I popped on at just the right time to see this. Being in the middle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel [my Reese Chronological Bible]much of this time, just reminds me so much of what we, as Christians, in our present-day culture [both here and world-wide] is walking through over and over again. Need to stay on target and not become flexible and un-Truth focused.
Looking forward to more. And you and your wife were blessed abundantly to be at the ... as I often say ... "right place, right time".
good post...bring it on.
Ravi Zacharias is so good. I just had my eleventh grade Bible class read "Jesus among other gods."
Glad to hear it was good and thanks for the notes. Can't wait to hear more about it.
This is one of those "I wish I would have been there," times. Looking forward to what else you share.
What a wonderful experience Glynn. I would love to hear him speak in person. I am always blown away by the depth of his knowledge and wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm looking forward to more.
