Some things you just never forget.

Have you ever heard about someone who allegedly died and saw heaven? We’ve heard all of these stories before, but I have major reservations about believing what they saw is accurate. You see, Scripture is our final authority, not somebody’s personal experience. Paul, probably the greatest Christian of all time, speaks about when he saw…
