Ravi

Last week, a few of us got the chance to listen to Ravi Zacharias speak in Williamsburg.  Ravi is a Christian Apologist. Christian apologetics is a field of Christian Theology that aims to present a rational basis for the Chrstian faith, defend the faith against objections, and expose the perceived flaws of other world view. (according to Wikipedia) :) The title of his discussion was Deliver Us from Evil: Restoring the Soul in a Disintegrating Culture. 

He spoke for about an hour the did a Q&A, taking questions from the audience.  For most of the evening I was trying to process all that he brought to the table.  By the end of the night though, Ravi helped me to fall more in love with my God. Paul's prayer to the Ephesians reflects how I felt after that evening:

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19

What a night.  Thanks Ravi, for helping me stand in awe of God.

In fact... Matt sat on the stage in the choir section and got a great rear view of Ravi :)
