L.T. Jeyachandran hails from Tamil Nadu in South India. He graduated from PSG College of Technology, affiliated with University of Madras (Chennai), and later received a Master of Technology degree in Structural Engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chennai. L.T. worked in several parts of India for 28 years as a Senior Civil Engineer with the Central (Federal) Government. The last position he held was that of Chief Engineer in charge of 13 states of India in the Eastern Zone while based in the city of Calcutta.
L.T. discovered the meaning of new life in Christ Jesus during his undergraduate college days. He has been involved in preaching the Gospel in conferences and is well known as a Bible expositor. He is a keen student of theology and comparative religions, and also interested in the study of Indian and foreign languages. He is knowledgeable in both Hebrew and Greek and is thus able to handle Scripture effectively in his ministry.
He took early retirement from the Government in November 1993 to join Ravi Zacharias International Ministries in India and functioned as Director of Ministries there till December 2000. In that capacity, he had been training leaders in seminars for Christians and conducting open forums for people from other faiths. He also served as a Bible teacher for RZIM and other conferences.
Since January 2001, L.T. has been working as Executive Director of the Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (Asia-Pacific) office overseeing the ministry in that region. He is based in Singapore with his wife, Esther. They have two children, Preeti and Pranay. Preeti and her husband David live and work in Dhaka, Bangladesh with Oasis Transformation. They have a daughter, Alisha, and a son, Ashray. Pranay and his wife Vani live outside of London, England, where Pranay works as a market research executive. They have two daughters, Manarah and Ameiyah.
View all articles by L.T. JeyachandranLet us conclude our discussion of the existence of God by reference to certain passages from the Bible. (This study should also incidentally help us to see why we claim that the absolute standards of God have been spoken into our world of relativity only in the words of Judeo-Christian Scripture). Paul's argument in Romans 1:19,20 provides the framework for the methodology we have adopted to work towards the existence of God. "...what may be known about God is plain to them, for God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse".
When we look at the macro-world, which is one part of "what has been made", we discover our own insignificance - "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of man that you care for him?" (Psalm 8:3,4). David goes on to say in Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands". The Psalmist comes to a very similar conclusion with reference to the micro-universe. He says, "I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well". (Psalm 139:14).
When we observe the state of our moral behaviour, you cannot but agree with prophet Jeremiah when he says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? I, the LORD, search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve". (Jer. 17:9,10). In this passage we hear the voice of the Eternal, Infinite, Ultimate Prescriber of all perspective laws. We are also accountable to Him for all our moral actions.
So whether we take a telescopic view into the distances of the Universe, make microscopic scrutiny of the infinitesimal world of the living cell or observe 'stethoscopically' our own moral motions, we come to the inescapable conclusion that there is a Personal God who is the uncaused Cause of all that we can and we cannot see and His character becomes the standard by which we human beings stand judged.
