There’s something about Ravi Zacharias that I really like.
Could be the accent, could be his akward eye-closing/extreme squinting when he recites long passages from memory, explains something very diificult very simply, telling a detailed story, or simply stating his name. Whatever it is, I appreciate him.
He told a few too many stories. Not that I want a Josh McDowell statistic-fest but give me some more theology and philosophy.
He’s brilliant, articulate, and has a great sense of humor.
I sat thinking why this church was packed (I’m guessing 800 people or so), to hear an apologist speaking. I mean come on, he’s no, “Your Best Life Now” type of guy.
He’s very likable and he truly seems like a man of God and i never say that sort of thing. It puts the poor guy on a pedestal. But it seems that he is of admiarable character.
Also, I think one of the reasons Ravi connects with such a large audience is that he uses himself as a bridge to the more academic world. I think the average church-attender who enjoys a good three point sermon full of illustrations and reads Max Lucado and Charles Stanley, is overjoyed when they understand a point that Ravi makes.
“Because if he is so brilliant and I understand him, then maybe I aren’t so dumb”
I could be off on that. Mayeb im the dum one.
And though I do wish we would a little more of his content found in his books, it was great to hear him. Indeed a blessing to the Body.
