Great quotes from Ernest:

God does amazing things wherever you are.

When you’re in a church, sometimes you feel obligated to believe things that sometimes just aren’t true.

The meat is that we live by the Spirit.

He came to teach us to endure suffering for the sake of love.

When you understand the way of the cross, it changes your whole mindset.
