RZIM: Just a Thought Broadcasts

Philosopher David Hume created his own test to examine the validity of religious truth claims. Today on Just a Thought Ravi Zacharias shows how Hume invalidates his own test based on how it is constructed.

Jesus answered people's questions in a unique way that gets at the source of the person's dilemma. This dilemma of believing in the gospel is often portrayed by the secularist as a choice between faith and reason.

Much damage has been done to the witness of Christianity through the ambition and arrogance of some in the ministry. In today's Thought Ravi Zacharias has a warning about elevating the gift of the evangelist over the calling to evangelize.

Muslims claim that the one miraculous sign accomplished by Mohammed was that the Quran was written in the most pure form in the language of Arabic. However further investigation of the language of the Quran calls into question the purity claim.

When comparing Jesus to Mohammed there is a stark difference between the two in the area of miraculous signs. Jesus Christ was virgin born and there were many miracles performed by Him, the followers of Islam do not claim the same for Mohammed.

Ravi Zacharias often faces hostile listeners to his message about the reality and attributes of God. Rather than confronting these hostile hearers in an argumentative way he seeks a winsome approach to present the truth in a loving way.

Psychologists say that the reason that we live in such violent times is due to the absence of fathers in families. Ravi Zacharias agrees with this idea, but has a different father in mind regarding what is needed to bring peace in the world.

In an episode of a popular television show two guests on the talk show claimed that scripture endorsed their immoral behavior and several members of the audience rejected this claim, but did not know the Bible well enough to back up their statements.

Ravi Zacharias recounts a story as an illustration of the power of the Word of God to change lives.

After visiting a refugee camp in Cambodia Ravi Zacharias was struck by the humanitarian needs of his audience. He has a caution for the church in regards to being too comfortable and ignoring the needs of the poor around the world.
