You have heard this quote before I am sure. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
I don’t know if mine will lead me to hell but they will definitely lead me to mediocrity and uselessness to the kingdom of God.
These are some of my stones that I tend to pave with with…
1st Stone – I intend to spend more time with individuals and pour into them because that is how true discipleship and spiritual transformation takes place.
2nd Stone – I intend to intentionally date my wife and play with my kids because they deserve more than my leftovers.
3rd Stone – I intend to exercise more because my body does not need to resemble a temple to be one.
4th Stone – I intend to spend more personal worship time because out of my time with God flows my attitude toward others.
5th Stone – I intend to become more efficient with my calendar and my time because God deserves everything he can get out of me.
6th Stone – I intend to read more and sharpen my leadership skill because bad leadership is a sin.
7th Stone – I intend to share the love of Jesus more and not rely on “lifestyle evangelism” that never leads to evangelism.
8th Stone – I intend on laughing more because who wants to follow an angry person.
9th Stone – I intend on giving more because I am rich.
10th Stone – I intend on helping the needy more because what I can give is needed by someone.
All of those intentions without execution will lead me to be a lazy, ineffective leader that will have little to no impact on the kingdom of God. What are your stones?

i intend to put more emphasis on my family and less emphasis on all other things.
i intend to truly love others, despite their flaws because i am loved unconditionally.
i intend to aid in waking up the sleeping church because we’ve got a lot of work to do.
i intend to make time for people and issues instead of making myself busy to avoid them.
i intend to rest more because who wants an exhausted worker?
i intend to train myself to listen before i think because how can i hear the needs of the world if i’m not listening?
i intend to actively pursue others in my prayer life because
i intend to change the world.
