RZIM: Just a Thought Broadcasts

Ravi Zacharias points out that for the Christian all of history takes on significance due to the fact that God is involved in all of it. Much of the Bible is filled with the recounting of historical events describing God's participation in the lives of his people.

All throughout history God has used individuals to communicate his truth and declare the events that are to come. On today's Thought Ravi Zacharias describes some of those individuals and how God has included them in His story.

A.W. Tozer once said, "Give me Genesis 1:1 and the rest of the Bible poses no problem for me." When asked about the amazing, unbelievable stories of the Bible, Ravi Zacharias agrees with Tozer that once you believe there is a God then the impossible becomes possible.

William Temple said "worship is the submission of all of our nature to God". Ravi Zacharias builds on this idea as he explains that worship should be involved with everything we do. Listen today's Thought as Ravi gives practical examples of how a life is lived in worship.

Just as Jesus called out to God as his father in his prayer at the Garden of Gethsemane, Christians also have the same access to God as our heavenly father. As a person becomes a Christian they are joining the family of God and gain a new identity and purpose for their life.

Pluralism can be a good thing when it allows for the discussion of different philosophies, but when pluralism leads to moral relativism then reason is removed from the argument. Listen to today's Thought as Ravi Zacharias explains and illustrates how this happens.

Ravi Zacharias asks "Do you hunger and thirst after his will?". With this question he is challenging believers to follow God's will no matter what and be willing to move at his direction.

On the wall above the judges at the courtroom where the Nuremberg trials for Nazi war criminals were held is a copy of the 10 Commandments. This is a picture of how the human heart and its actions will be judged by the standard of God's law. Ravi Zacharias has a warning for each of us when it comes to our choices and actions: the need to maintain a constant guard on your heart.

Like the prophet Balaam in the Old Testament who looked out only for himself, we as sinful believers need to watch out so as not to fall into the same temptation.

Ravi Zacharias describes how he saw saris made in India with a father and son team. He observed that though the son did the actual weaving it was only at the direction of the father who had the design in his head the whole time. In today's Thought he describes how this is similar to God's working in the lives of his children.
