Good Intentions

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according the Scriptures". 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4

We live in a society that struggles to follow through on their intentions.  There are so many different people, different tasks, different jobs, different wants vying for our attention, our effort, our energy, our allegiance, that it is easy to mix up our priorities.  We have the best of intentions to make it to church, to spend time in prayer, to read our Bible, to tell other people about Jesus, but how often does it actually happen?  Sadly and far too often, it does not happen very much.  It has been said, "The pathway to Hell is paved with good intentions."  The problem is that good intentions are just that, intentions, and not what actually happens or takes place.
