The revelations of the sexual misconduct of Ravi Zacharias have been devastating to the Christian community. Should we even talk about this? He is dead, shouldn't we just let it rest? In this episode, I argue why it is important for us to talk about what happened to Ravi Zacharias.

Day 64



Today’s Reading: Luke 20



Not everyone who asks you a question wants an answer or wants the truth. Listen to one of the most profound questions ever asked. It was a question someone asked of Jesus, and the one who asked it never stopped to hear the answer: “Pilate said to Him, ‘What is truth?’ And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews . . .” (John 18:38).



Pilate asked the question and did not even give the One who is called “the truth” a moment to answer. I don’t know if he was really interested. Many times people ask questions, not for the answer, but to see what side you have taken. Their question is for exposure not for truth.



In today’s reading, that is what Jesus faced three times. The religious were asking questions not to know the answer but to see what “side” He was on.



Today in this hostile culture we are in, we face the same thing in our workplaces, college campuses, even the local coffee shops. Maybe we can take a page out of Jesus’ book, from His methods of dialoguing in a hostile environment.



Let’s look at two of the three situations. Notice what was asked and then notice how Jesus responded:



On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him, and they spoke, saying to Him, “Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?” Jesus answered and said to them, “I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me: Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?” (Luke 20:1-4)



They watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could deliver Him to the rule and the authority of the governor. They questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and you are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” But He detected their trickery and said to them, “Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” (Luke 20:20-24) 



Jesus did the same thing with every ill-intentioned question. Remember, none of these religious people were asking Jesus to hear the answer but to discover what side He was on. Or as apologist Ravi Zacharias explains that every question comes with an assumption. That is why C. S. Lewis said, “Nothing is so self-defeating than a question that has not been fully understood.”



Let’s take a page from Jesus. What did He do in each situation? Jesus asked questions to the questioner. He questioned the question. Many ask questions but never have been questioned themselves.



I have seen preachers on television being asked these kinds of questions—from hosts on the Today show to Oprah to reporters on CNN and Fox News. Every time they are asked a question as Jesus was, they answer it and get in trouble. Instead of doing what Jesus did, some of these pastors wrongly assessed that these people wanted an answer, which wasn’t true. They wanted to know their side, so the attack could commence.



Answer the question when people want an answer. Question the question when people want to fight.



Jesus would not let them catch Him, but His questions put them on the defensive. One of the most explosive questions Christians are asked today: What is your view of same-sex marriage? Let’s take a page from Jesus: What question can we ask in return that would turn the tables?



Maybe something like this: Do you believe in God? Do you think this is something important enough that He has something to say about it? Would you believe in God even if He contradicts what you think? So where would you find out what God thinks?



Someone said, “Most people dismiss the Bible not because it contradicts itself but because it contradicts them.”



The next time someone asks you a question, take a page out of Jesus’ playbook and ask a question in return.

One of the most popular Christian Apologists died recently and left multiple victims of abuse.  This caused great distress in the Evangelical Community.  Amidst all the book burning we look at his legacy and try to understand the tradition he came out of.

Join us as we sit Across the Counter from Author, Speaker, and Pastor Tullian Tchividijan.In this ATC Episode:• Embarking on a bold exploration of downfall and redemption, Tullian joins us to share the tumultuous narrative woven into his book &amp;amp;quot;Carnage and Grace.&amp;amp;quot; His memoir, a raw depiction of personal dissolution and the formidable journey back to faith after an affair, offers profound introspection on what it means to rebuild amidst the remnants of a very public collapse. • How being the grandson of Billy Graham impacted his thoughts on his own humbleness.• As a pastor re-entering his pastoral duties, Tullian confronts the challenges of finding a publisher brave enough to embrace his transparent account and the nuances of guiding a congregation wrestling with the tensions of judgment and grace. His story is not only his own but a mirror reflecting the broader complexities within the Christian community as it grapples with its leaders&amp;amp;apos; imperfections.• Navigating the murky waters of sin and restoration, this episode illuminates the delicate dance of condemnation and compassion within the church. We reflect on the collective astonishment and struggles faced when leaders we hold in high esteem falter, examining our own responses to the fall from grace of figures like Ravi Zacharias whom he knew for many years. It’s a candid discussion on the paradoxical nature of the church as both a refuge for the broken and an arena for scrutiny, and how we might better foster a restorative environment. Join us for this intimate and impactful conversation that resonates with anyone seeking to understand the rocky road to redemption!Connect with Tullian:Instagram: @tulliantchBuy his new book: https://www.amazon.com/Carnage-Grace-Confessions-Adulterous-Heart/dp/1632966379?crid=1173LKQDT1HK&amp;amp;amp;keywords=carnage+and+grace+tullian&amp;amp;amp;qid=1705002492&amp;amp;amp;sprefix=Carnage+%26+Grace,aps,110&amp;amp;amp;sr=8-1&amp;amp;amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;amp;amp;tag=lucidbooks148-20&amp;amp;amp;linkId=9bd352a736a038cc5c7e5af6dfd30b66&amp;amp;amp;language=en_US&amp;amp;amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl&amp;amp;amp;fbclid=PAAaanNg7QEIR6VwInBpzXsYsIHHQomo9lXPC2ddUzXGLz0uZ2b9rPPmP7Gy4_aem_AaNl3HJCG8QiplUR6wc7pO54gWGgIbkyMaYbToekJVhWaxch8kQIFErAlv6GvwABYP4Beliefs espoused by the guests of ATC are not necessarily the beliefs and convictions of ATC. That said the intent of our podcast is to listen, remain curious and never fear failure in the discovery life giving truth.
