Ray Comfort (1949 to present) is a New Zealand-born Christian evangelist, movie producer, and author who currently lives in the United States. Some of his books include: Hell’s Best Kept Secret, Scientific Facts in the Bible, and The Evidence Bible. Comfort is both an evangelist and an apologist with a passion to lead people to Christ. He loves to do question and answer type interviews with everyday people and tries to get the people he interviews to think about the logical implications of their answers on a variety of spiritual subjects. I pray that the following quotes by Comfort will cause you to ponder the seriousness of the gospel message.1
“The more a nation gets into darkness, the more it’s going to hate the light. The more it’s going to run from the light. And we have a generation of people who have given themselves to darkness, and they’ve embraced atheism, because it gets them away from moral responsibility to God.”
“Every song has a composer, every book has an author, every car has a maker, every painting has a painter, and every building has a builder. So, it isn’t irrational to take this simple logic a little further and say that nature must have had a Maker. It would be irrational to believe that it made itself.”
“If you are not concerned about your neighbor’s salvation, then I am concerned for yours.”
“We each need to look into eternity and then ask ourselves what we are offering this generation.”
“Atheists who keep asking for evidence of God’s existence are like a fish in the ocean wanting evidence of water.”
“It is amazing that we hesitate to talk about the wrath of God, for fear of making sinners feel fearful. The fear they feel this side of the grave will be nothing compared to the fear they feel when they stand before Almighty God.”
“Christianity doesn’t offer a smooth flight; it provides a safe landing. The promise of Jesus is not one of happiness, He promises righteousness.”
“The Bible diagnoses the cancer of all cancers and prescribes the cure of all cures.”
“This society in which we live is radically changing. What previous generations saw as evil is now embraced as being good. It is a dangerous and slippery slope upon which we stand when we reject what Solomon called the beginning of wisdom – the fear of God.”
“We need to pray for our nation like never before, and then put legs to our prayers and preach the gospel to a sin-loving and Hell-bound world. To pray for America and at the same time ignore that command to preach the gospel to every creature, is nothing but empty hypocrisy. It is to honor God with our lips and have cold hearts that are far from Him. May He give us a love that moves us from the pews into the streets, and from our homes into our universities. God save us from the cozy comfort of lukewarm contemporary Christianity.”
“Comparing Jesus with history’s greatest of human leaders is like comparing the sun to a flashlight with no batteries.”
“The friendly preacher who fails to warn of the reality of Hell, betrays the Son of God with a kiss.”
“Darwinian evolution is unscientific, unobservable, unbelievable, but understandable in a world that hates God.”
“Either there is a God or there isn’t. Both possibilities are frightening.”
“It is embarrassingly unscientific to speak of anything creating itself from nothing.”
“God’s standard of judgment goes down to the intents of the heart.”
“It’s important to understand that an atheist is someone who believes the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. Some fundamental atheists will deny this by trying to redefine ‘nothing’ as being ‘something,’ because such a thought makes them look like a fool, which is precisely what the Bible says that they are.”
“Evolution is unobservable. It’s based on blind faith in a few dry bones and on unreliable dating systems in which the gullible trust. Kids should be allowed to make up their own minds about this issue, and not be censored to ‘one side is all we will let you hear.’”
