Does the Word shape your thoughts about Heaven or old songs and your desires?

This issue has caused me some grief over the years and it is such a petty issue. Yet, some have made it a massive doctrine to be staunchly defended like the Trinity and Substitutionary Atonement.

What Is Truth? A Battle Of Worldviews Series
