I absoluetly love this guy. This first paragraphy is a perfect example of what Ravi is doing all around the world. I bolded a couple of things and inserted one parenthesis.
Ravi speaks at the Mormon Tabernacle
At the invitation of over 50 churches and institutions under the banner of Standing Together, an evangelical ministry, Ravi Zacharias recently gave a three-part lectureship "In the Pursuit of Truth" at two universities in the Salt Lake City area and at the Mormon Tabernacle. The Salt Lake Tribune reported, "For the first time in 105 years, a preacher of another faith was at the pulpit of the Tabernacle on Temple Square on Sunday night, urging evangelical Christians and Mormons to turn to Jesus Christ." Dwight L. Moody was the last evangelical to speak there in 1899.
On November 14 Ravi spoke on "Who Is Jesus? Defending Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life" to over 7000 people who filled the Mormon Tabernacle and an overflow setting. His message was followed by a standing ovation. (From Mormans!)Ravi addressed the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ and noted that there are deep doctrinal differences between Christianity and Mormonism. Yet as the Tribune observed, "His hour-long sermon emphasized aspects of Christian doctrine for which Mormons have a different understanding, such as sin, salvation through the cross and the Trinity. But his overarching message—that Jesus Christ is the answer to the longing in all human hearts—was one that resonated with both evangelical Christians and Mormons."
The previous evening (November 13) Ravi addressed students at the University of Utah, where he spoke on "The Basis For Truth, Defending the Notion of Absolute Truth." He concluded his lectureship with "The Loss of Truth: The Crumbling Moral Foundation" on November 15 at Weber State University. Both forums were followed by standing ovations and a time of question and answer.
