Famous Chuck Ammons Quotes

“Truth be told, there really isn’t any such thing as “Christian Art.” Just like “Beauty” and “Justice,” “Art” belongs fully to the Lord. It’s all his , meaning that, in the end, we can only speak of good art or bad art; art that is a worthy representation of God’s heart or some severely diluted or distorted misrepresentation of the Master Artist.”

“The road of sin always ends in despair instead of delight and in anger in place of awe, because you and I make tremendous children, but terrible compasses! God alone is our anchor. It is only when His Name, His Word, His Promise, and His Presence are elevated as our treasure that we will ever experience hope. The system of sin is built to get us to shift our gaze and to lose our days playing the game of shame, or entitlement, or both. And our enemy doesn’t care which way we minimize the Cross. He will gladly take us focusing on the mirror to bury ourselves in shame and regret, or to spend our lives comparing to and blaming everyone else. As long as we remain on the throne of our lives, it doesn’t matter which way we flip the coin.”

“For all of those lamenting how bad the world is getting, may I suggest to you that our greatest hindrance to revival isn’t all of the sin they’ve been holding, but the love that we’ve been hoarding?”

“But blessing and protecting someone because they abide by your rules or love you back isn’t agape love. It’s merely insurance protecting our own investments. And Jesus said even the pagans know how to do that. When it comes to the foundational way Jesus called us to follow through, we don’t get a safety net. Love costs us. And sometimes the cost of love is pain, grief, and heartbreak. Love means laying down our lives:”

“Jesus is saying the defining mark of His Church is that she will move to every place hell attempts to set up camp and when she arrives, the enemy will have no choice but to flee. The work of the Church is the continual eviction of the kingdom of darkness in her city.”

“Shame lurks most often in the thoughts that silently condemn, while entitlement patriotically camouflages itself behind our “God-given rights.” Yet whether you flip the coin to the side of shame or to entitlement, both play the game by endorsing a broken view of humanity and worth. Shame and entitlement both owe their survival to a hierarchical view of the world.”
