"You don't understand. Now I'm a chef.  I'm no longer a prostitute…" she said as she filmed the interview. I was standing off to the side and had put my hand up to protest when she graciously thanked us.  But she had insisted.  She said she needed to be able to do that.  That was three years ago, after she had completed a culinary course through a Wellspring scholarship.

It has been said that writing makes an exact person.  I wish it were as easy to agree with that statement as it is to believe it.  The truth is that even in writing you have to be selective about what to include and to discard.

Writing to a young pastor, the Apostle Paul urged the young Timothy to take the things he had heard and entrust them to reliable witnesses who would be qualified to teach others (see 2 Timothy 2:1-2). Clearly, the church across the ages and cultures has taken this charge seriously. Here at RZIM, we do too.

In the current climate and direction of the nation's leadership as it pertains to the sanctity of life, sexuality, and marriage, there is a deep and disturbing sense of where we are headed.

The enlightenment is under threat. So is reason. So is truth. So is science, especially in the schools of America.

In response to the essays presented by Richard Dawkins and Karen Armstrong in "Man Vs. God" (Saturday, September 12), I would add that the combination of Dawkins and Armstrong as presenting two contrary views on the existence of God is in itself a "creative act." For one, God is a fairy tale and for the other "at least it's a nice fairy tale." One may as well have asked Bin Laden to write his thoughts on America and then ask Chavez for a counter perspective. Amazing. Even by today's media manipulations, that raises the benchmark.

Atlanta has a beautiful burst of pear blossoms and cherry blossoms in March and April, and it is the prettiest time of the year here.  It has come and gone but other flowers will bloom.  So we love springtime.  For me, this year’s spring was also a time to prepare my heart and mind for the vitally important. . .

Dear Friends,

I am writing this just a little over two weeks after my back surgery. So many of you  have written or phoned and prayed from all over the world and before I say anything else, I want to thank you. I have been deeply touched by your love, your care and your prayers. All of your prayers were needed and answered.  One of the pictures sent to me was of a group of children from the red light district of Bombay. These kids are being cared for and given the love of Christ by a most unusual man, his family and his team. The picture said it all: These precious little ones with their eyes closed and their arms raised, praying up a storm for my healing. How does one adequately respond to such tender and determined faith? The Lord told us all to become as one of them.

Ravi continues to progress well in his recovery, in spite of the fact that he heals more slowly than most people and seems to see recovery as another challenge to overcome. But after a few mis-starts he is learning to pace himself better and is really doing well in his recovery, almost entirely with no pain medication. Massage therapy with oils mixed specifically for him because of their healing properties seem to be helping him immensely.

From Ravi Zacharias:

Recently a doctor friend gave me the totally unexpected news, after he had seen my most recent MRI, that the surgery that was done in 2002 to fuse three discs in my lower back had actually not been successful and that there is no fusion.  Not only that, the bolts that were in place to stabilize the back are loose.  One thing led to another and a series of other tests, due to some new symptoms I am experiencing, was set in motion. 

Ravi's interview on Thursday, May 8th with Paul Edwards.

"Pray for your leaders ... If there's ever been a time in our nation's history when we are longing for a leader who would be wise, this is it." - Ravi Zacharias

When Sam Harris wrote his book Letter to a Christian Nation, stating that Christians display “murderous intolerance,” Dr. Ravi Zacharias felt called to answer. The End of Reason is a clear and powerful response to the “utter bankruptcy” of Harris’s New Atheism as it explains the true nature of God, the foundation for evil in the world, and the basis of true morality.
