RZIM: Just a Thought Broadcasts

In the Old Testament story of Jacob's life we see a man that is running from the consequences of his actions until God literally grabbed a hold of him. God then asks an important question of Jacob that can apply to everyone. Listen to today's program as Ravi Zacharias describes this interaction and the resulting life lesson.

Having an eternal perspective can have an effect on all of life's meaning and purpose. Listen to today's program as Ravi Zacharias explains what it is that gives our lives purpose.

In today's Just A Thought, Ravi Zacharias describes an image of God as a painter and our hearts as canvas on which He is creating a masterpiece. Listen as this imaginative wordscape draws your attention to the wonderful work of God in our lives.

Dennis Prager, a Jewish thinker and talk show host, presents an interesting question while debating Jonathan Glover, an Atheist from Oxford. Ravi Zacharias relates what Dennis says and summarizes the reality of living out a worldview and its consequences.

G.K. Chesterton, an early 20th century apologist, said "God is like the sun, you cannot look at it, but without it you cannot look at anything else." Ravi Zacharias uses this statement to illustrate how man's search for meaning cannot exclude the principle author: God.

Citing a quote from C.S. Lewis, Ravi Zacharias describes a serious spiritual condition where people become so focused on the promotion of God's existence that they entirely miss the heart of the message. Listen as he describes this condition on today's Thought.

We find the prophet Jonah in a ship on the sea in the middle of a storm running from God's will for his life and what is he doing? He is sleeping. Ravi Zacharias exclaims that many believers today are similarly sleeping while a storm is raging around them, he urges Christians to heed the lesson of Jonah.

When it comes to proof for God's existence, the book of Romans declares that it is not the lack of evidence but rather man's suppression of that evidence that is the problem. Ravi Zacharias explores this concept with an illustration from the life of Jonah on today's Thought.

When communicating the truth of the Bible to people of a different worldview be careful not to belittle or humilate them in an effort to show the error of their belief. This advice is something that Ravi Zacharias has lived by throughout his ministry as an apologist.

Ravi Zacharias recounts an example of how miss-communication often occurred in his home land of India between an Indian and a tourist trying to get information. From this example Ravi makes a connection between this experience and how christians sometimes attempt communication with those outside the faith.
