[UntoHim]

Mike, I'm sorry that you were not impressed with this quote. Due to time and space contraints I'm rather limited on how much I can fit into the little box on the right hand side of the homepage. Over the course of a year, I try to be as eclectic as I can with the hundreds of quotes and quips, but there is simply no way that I'm going to find something that is going to catch even the slightest interest of, much less impress, every forum member or lurker who happens to be stopping by on any given day.

Most of the time I try to find a quote that might have some sort of application to the interests and concerns of current and former Local Churchers. In the case of this particular quote from Ravi Zacharias, it kind of struck me as applicable to the Local Church because of their noticable disengagement with the culture and society around them. I've never been to Taiwan, China or anywhere else in Asia, so maybe this dynamic applies more to those of us in North America.

All this being said, I was able to dig up the passage in Zacharias' book (Byond Opinion: Living the Faith that we Defend) that might give the wider context you are seeking:
