"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"...John Ray...1670. This is a much debated statement over the centuries and some even say it in the Bible. I searched for it and could not find it. My belief is that our flesh is filled with "wants" to do things for God. We fail easy and therefore I do not believe that we are held accountable for wanting to do something for the Lord and failing to follow through. It has been my experience that what God wills in us to do will be done and without any reservation on our part.
It is like wanting to give to every charity organization who does a great work for Christ. It is better to choose the charity closest to your heart and go with that one. Mine is missions and Right to Life. When you see starving children on television while you are eating dinner, a great wave of guilt most likely will come over you. It may be that this is where you are to give, but the safer way is to stay with what is closest to your heart. God is working in the world and He has not forgotten anyone! We need not jump to the beat of a commercial that would cause us guilt. If you do give to a world organization to help, make sure of their creed! UNICEF is evil for they give to planned parenthood.
Rejecting Christ is the road to hell. It is the only road to hell.
