For those who are unfamiliar with Dr. Ravi Zacharias, he is a brilliant Christian professor, author, speaker, apologist, and lecturer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravi_Zacharias

He is (in my opinion) one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. He is also a very humble, gentle, and committed Christian. For decades, he has spoken and debated at universities, colleges, military academies, conferences, and governments around the world.

This short video is just a taste of his brilliance.

A Muslim Student Challenges Ravi Zacharias

In his wonderfully penned letter above in response to the Islamic terrorism in Paris, you can see the pain and outrage in his heart regarding these events, but also witness his hope - in that of Christ Jesus.

I hope Ravi's words may bring the same hope to those here who may read them.

Killers who do not represent a country and whose belief is debated ad nauseam as to whether it is a version or a perversion are truly sinister and are the cancerous cells of our time. They are protected by having no roots either in country or belief. The West is being taken down in small portions till one day the lie of the murderers being protected by smooth-talking power brokers with a bodyguard of lies will be seen for the terrifying belief that it is. No contrary view will be allowed then. For now, the layers of distortion cover the graves of the murdered. The whole world has become a courtroom where clever lawyers make truth unattainable. Whether it be 9/11 or the carnage at the Boston Marathon or blown-up planes or Paris, we will not find answers because to ask the question is either to receive a lie from some politicians or many in the media, or to invoke the wrath of hate-filled killers.

In that one paragraph, Zacharias all at once dissects and lays bare the lie of liberalism in our culture, media, and politics.

Thanks, bro!

If Ravi Zacharia wrote it, it has to be great!

In Jesus is our hope. All else is shifting sand.

Then one of them asked the cleric a question that was as pointed as could be. It was a powerful question with an irrefutable fact within the question. The question laid bare a reality that was deemed blasphemous. The next day that man and his family were murdered, just for asking a fact-laden question that was unanswerable without conceding the truth. For that, he and his family paid with their lives.

OK, What was the question asked?
