Criss Jami Quotes

Faithfulness imparts God’s reason for all circumstances. No matter what the world says, losing is no longer an option Picture Quote #1

When we look for success, it should be for the sole purpose of boasting sincerely in Christ. There’s no other reason for it. Success is only worth it when the more intense it gets for you, the more you find yourself bragging for his glory rather than your own Picture Quote #1

The pressure of adversity is the most powerful sustainer of accountability. It’s as though everything you do is multiplied by 50 in order to surpass those with a head-start. I was never capable of slacking when at the threshold of failure Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest gifts from God is the eternal perspective. It is a level of fearlessness, a level of understanding where one can experience even emotional harmony with God Picture Quote #1

Authors can write stories without people assuming that they are autobiographies, but songwriters and poets are often considered to be the characters in their works. I like Michelangelo’s vision, ‘I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free Picture Quote #1

Discernment is the son of good judgment and the father of self-control. When mixed with an already clear conscience, the ability to read the true motives of a critic keeps one’s conscience both clear and at ease Picture Quote #1

When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as ‘too good to be true.’ They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where all the good people have gone Picture Quote #1

Maturity is when you’re able to say, ‘It’s not just them. It’s me.’ Picture Quote #1

One of the Christian’s biggest fears is appearing ‘too Christian’. God forbid, because that’s often characterized as god-awful! We want to be one, but without being ‘one of them’ Picture Quote #1

The sea in all its vastness is its own, real world. Man is nature’s sci-fi Picture Quote #1

Philosophy may serve as the bridge between theology and science. All atheism is a philosophy, but not all philosophy is atheism. Philosophy (‘love of wisdom’) is simply a tool depending on how one uses it, and in some cases, logically understanding the nature of God and existence Picture Quote #1

I believe God himself will someday debate with and answer every objection arrogant men can come up with against him; I believe he will humble us and humor himself. Know-it-alls, pseudo-intellectuals, militant anti-theists, for Christ’s sake, or rather their own sake, best beware of getting roasted by their own medicine. Ah! Our delusions of trying to argue against an omniscient Creator Picture Quote #1

Everyone has a natural slant towards seeking themselves. This gets in the way of seeking God unless God intervenes Picture Quote #1

Man was created to glorify God. Now, that may encompass other things which God has planned for each man, but essentially, man was created to glorify God Picture Quote #1

Whenever you feel like feeling like a devil’s advocate, Bible-thump. That, in a worldly world, is the great irony and satire of evangelism Picture Quote #1

Christians walk as strangers in the world: They are untamed. They are free. To persevere with love, yet untamed by man, is often what leaves that open space for divine revelation when God so wills Picture Quote #1

As a writer of philosophy, it’s good to ask oneself, ‘Will I still believe this a week from now, or months, or even years? Picture Quote #1

If you use a philosophy education well, you can get your foot in the door of any industry you please. Industries are like the blossoms on a tree while philosophy is the trunk - it holds the tree together, but it often goes unnoticed Picture Quote #1

Beware: open-mindedness will often say, ‘Everything is permissible except a sharp opinion Picture Quote #1

Because there are hundreds of different ways to say one thing, I, being a writer, songwriter, and poet, speak childishly and incoherently. In speech there is so much to decide in so little time Picture Quote #1

Many people in a rather reckless context claim to ‘just tell it like it is’. In actuality, nobody really stresses what one says so much as the motive behind what one says; hence, he is merely blowing hot air and detracting from ‘what is’ Picture Quote #1

Everyone claims to be okay with freedom of religion, but the moment you mention God there is a strange tension that fills the air. If there was a 6th sense, that would be it Picture Quote #1

Every exceptional bias against Christianity I find to be evidence for its validity Picture Quote #1

Mankind, in all his lusts, punishes himself. The gods have to do very little Picture Quote #1

The humble ones are always learning and improving, and their secret is always that it’s a secret Picture Quote #1

Because you’re always learning, the chief lesson remains: you still know nothing Picture Quote #1

The petty man wants to use God for himself; the ambitious man wants God to use him for God Picture Quote #1

There have been times I’ve felt so much art in my soul I grew sick of artists Picture Quote #1

Pure wisdom is the ‘fruit of life’ banal platitudes are the ‘bane of existence’ Picture Quote #1
