Just wanted to share this message in regards to my good friend and a hero of the faith, @ravizacharias. A couple of things, please join me in prayer for Ravi and his family as he battles this fight against cancer. Also, if Ravi has touched your life or inspired you along the way, I would love for you to share your story in the comments. I hope to be able to deliver your comments to Ravi and his team to encourage them in this time.

Yes I’ve only seen a few of Zacharias’ things but I know he has had tremendous impact on some fiends of mine. Prayers.

And that was a beautiful tribute by Tebow.

There would be no greater reward possible than to be before the Lord at the Bema Seat and hear Him declare to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant”. I expect that to be the case with Ravi.

Ravi is a truly extraordinary man with as much wisdom as I could imagine a man could have.

I would strongly encourage all to watch this brief video from one of the many forums Ravi did. You can witness his brilliance on display as he is questioned by an unbelieving young man.

At least watch the first 45 seconds.

Love watching Ravi Zacharias taking questions on YouTube! He’s brilliant and a wonderful Christian apologist.

Forgive me for stating it, but seems like every time I hear about Tebow this year, the story involves him crying about something. A few weeks ago, one of his dogs died. So he posted photos of that tragedy. Now this.
I hope things go well with Tim and is wife. Maybe tell us when they are expecting a baby. Or just wait till the child is born.

I didn’t even know that Ravi Zacharias was ill. I used to listen to him in the car when I was living someplace sort of remote and had to drive a lot. He was a wonderful evangelist and scholar. Prayers for him.

I don’t sleep well and often wake in the middle of the night. It’s very frustrating but one thing that soothes me is if I go to the a.m. Christian station and hear Ravi on giving a message. He’s such a beautiful man truly made in the image of God.

Tebow is the real thing. He really did visit sick children in hospitals. I wish so much he would have been successful in pro football. It so badly needs a good example like Tebow.

Maybe someone could contact Mr. Zacharias and tell him there is still hope. There is a man named Joe Tippens who had lung cancer and was sent home to die. His body was riddled with tumors everywhere. He was told by a friend that there is a cheap,easily available drug that appears to knock out cancer. He had nothing left to lose so he spent his remaining time researching it. Long story short, Mr. Tippens is alive and well today and he is trying to spread the word of his survival story to anyone who will listen. Here is a youtube link to an interview that he did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WxiPf-NEDk.

Tim was smart to leave pro football with his body, brain and inner spirit all still going strong. Think of those like Mark Gastineau. Early Onset Dementia, starting at age 61. Soon to be followed by parkinsons’. It’s very likely, his time as a pro football player brought these conditions on.
All the cumulative damage.

I’ve heard Ravi in person several times and actually got to meet him many years ago before he became so well know.

He actually spoke on two separate occasions at a church I attended when I first became a Christian.

His brilliance in Christian apologetics as always been breath taking. He is truly a man blessed and used by God.

Ravi is possibly the foremost Christian Apologetics warrior of our age. He taught this old man that we are all leaving soon, alive or dead, departed with and when our Lord calls us out. Ravi’s Apologetics had a very real impact on my life and understanding of the urgency to reach out to others. I look forward to meeting him in the clouds ....

Wow. Zacharias has cancer? That’s very sad. He’s the best! We’ll put him on our prayer list along with Rush.
