The LORD seems to be doing a new work ... one that many aren’t aware of yet ... & until He gives the “green light” and confirms more, all I can ask is that you just pray. Enough about me ...
One of the 21st century’s greatest minds, greatest evangelists, greatest apologists will soon be with the LORD Jesus (barring a miracle). When I found out that Ravi Zacharias was dying of cancer, my heart sank. I was encouraged to listen to him; however, honestly ... I didn’t care about what anyone else had to say at that time in my life. I started caring after I heard his story. The LORD saved this man after a failed suicide attempt....& through the empowerment of God’s Holy Spirit, Ravi has left a trail blazing around the entire world. From big arenas to the palaces of countries who are hostile to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Ravi was there. From liberal universities to closed nations, he met opposition with such grace & poise & power from on high. Ravi dared to respect cultures, other faiths, and people who were/are so very different from him ... and folks, at least, respected - many, loved - him for doing so. Practical. That’s who Ravi has been to me. His theology wasn’t put so high above my head that I couldn’t reach it. The questions he’d answer seemed so mind blowing, and his answer would be so deep.....and yet so very simple. Christianity across the entire world has benefited from this saint of God. I know people, personally, who have been changed because of Ravi & his ministry.....they are friends with Ravi. What about you, Christian? What about me? Do we love Jesus with absolute abandon? Will we be available to leave a trail blazing for the kingdom of the God we say we love & serve? Will we dare to leave the comforts of home for His glory? Will we saturate ourselves with that which causes us to constantly re-evaluate our lives? Willing to change ideas/ideologies that don’t line up with the Word & the LORD’s calling on all of our lives? Will we love this world? Will we dare to love the Scriptures enough to dive headlong into them without any form of media interference so that we, too, can be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us? Can we serve with a level of honor and respect that doesn’t compromise the truth of Scripture, as Ravi has? Go & serve. Go & proclaim. This isn’t the call for just a few. This wasn’t just Ravi’s call. This is the call for all of our lives. The ground is fertile. The harvest is ready. But the laborers are few. Be salt in one person’s world today. Be light in that person’s dark world today. For more information about Ravi Zacharias, his ministry, resources, updates on his health ... please visit http://www.rzim.org ...
