Let My People Think is a half-hour program heard weekly. The radio outreach of RZIM is a listener supported ministry that powerfully mixes biblical teaching and Christian apologetics. The programs seek to explore issues such as life's meaning, the credibility of the Christian message and the Bible, the weakness of modern intellectual movements, and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. http://www.rzim.org/radio/ en-us Copyright 2008, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) webmaster@rzim.org (RZIM) Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:59:47 GMT Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:59:47 GMT Saturday Sunday Ravi Zacharias no RZIM, Ravi, Zacharias, apologetics, Christianity, LMPT, Let, My, People, Think rzim.org webmaster@rzim.org “Why is God allowing this to happen to me?” Often, the most powerful answer to this question is an honest, “I don’t know.” Too many times we try to force meaning or explanation onto someone else’s suffering without fully understanding the entire situation. Often, in our desire to comfort a hurting person, we glibly look past the fact that God is present to comfort them - with or without our words. So how can we learn to truly be a blessing when others struggle or go through hardship? By looking once again to the story of Joseph with Ravi Zacharias. http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD107-2.mp3 http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD107-2.mp3 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 05:00:00 GMT 00:26:00 The Chinese character wei is read as “danger,” while the character ji is read as “critical moment” or “turning point.” When these two characters are combined, they form weiji - the word for “crisis.” Often we find that the conflicts and crises in our lives are dangerous moments that can build or burn our soul and the people around us. Join Ravi Zacharias today as he shares the story of Joseph, and the young man’s journey “Through Conflict and Crisis.” http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD107-1.mp3 http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD107-1.mp3 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 05:00:00 GMT 00:26:00 One of Clint Eastwood’s more successful movies was “In the Line of Fire,” a film that centered on the psychological struggle between a legendary Secret Service agent and a deranged assassin. The crucial question of the movie for both characters was whether or not they were willing to trade their life for the president’s. Ultimately, both characters are willing to pay the price for their goal - one, to kill the president; the other, to protect him. As Ravi finishes his look at Nehemiah today, a question arises for you: are you willing to trade your life for God’s will? http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD112-2.mp3 http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD112-2.mp3 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 05:00:00 GMT 00:26:00 You’ve probably heard the old adage, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Or maybe even, “Nothing comes for free.” In a culture dominated by commerce and business, it’s even become a point of skepticism if someone offers something without cost. Experience teaches that with everything we seek to do, there’s a cost associated with it. Today, Ravi returns to the book of Nehemiah to look at the cost paid by the Jews to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem, and to help you examine what costs there are as you follow God. http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD112-1.mp3 http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD112-1.mp3 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 05:00:00 GMT 00:26:00 The decade of the 80’s produced a number of fascinating causes: Live Aid; Farm Aid; Hands Across America; Save the Whales; Save the Snail-darter. People would drive hundreds, if not thousands of miles, to participate in the cause of the moment, just to feel like they had supported something worthwhile. And that same sense of purpose is sought by many today - “Give us something to stand for!” we cry. We hear that cry in many churches today - “Give us something to stand for!” And the response is, “Jesus Christ.” Join Ravi today as he finishes his message “Is There Not a Cause?” http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD111-2.mp3 http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD111-2.mp3 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 05:00:00 GMT 00:26:00 Do you know what a pink ribbon means? How about a yellow one? Are you familiar with the red ribbons that some wear? You’ve seen some variation on this theme everywhere - stickers on cars, pins on lapels, T-shirts that others are wearing. And whether you’re promoting breast cancer awareness (pink ribbon), honoring our troops in the field (yellow ribbon), or trying to get people to pay attention to the AIDS crisis (red ribbon), you’re standing for a cause you believe in. Some people lament that there are no good causes left, but as Ravi Zacharias shares through the story of Nehemiah, God has given us the greatest cause of all. http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD111-1.mp3 http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD111-1.mp3 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:00:00 GMT 00:26:00 If you visit certain parts of the Grand Canyon National Park, there are guardrails up to keep tourists from going any farther. Those rails are there to remind the visitors of a truth: if you come close to the edge, one of two things will happen. Either you’ll back away or go over. The apostle Paul found himself making a presentation to the ruler Felix, a presentation that brought Felix to the edge of truth and forced the Roman tyrant to make a decision. How will you respond to the truth of Jesus Christ? Will you go over the edge or back away? Consider your answer today as Ravi Zacharias presents part one of his message, “Flirting with the Truth.” http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD150-2.mp3 http://htod.cdncon.com/o2/rzimht/MP3/LMPT/LMPTCD150-2.mp3 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 05:00:00 GMT 00:26:00 If you visit certain parts of the Grand Canyon National Park, there are guardrails up to keep tourists from going any farther.

So, what is the proper diagnosis of our situation? What does it mean to say that humanity is lost? Is the situation really that bad?
