Flee to Follow
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1 Timothy 6:11
Reading:
1 Timothy 6:1-16
How well do I honor (visibly and in my heart) those to whom I am accountable?
What evidence exists that I value “the name of God and his doctrine”?
“He is proud” — would such a description alarm me if it were applied to me?
“Godliness with contentment” — what’s with that? And what does one have to do with the other?
What is my own perspective of wealth, money, gain…and stuff?
“Flee these things” — how and why and when…and did I yesterday?
Am I committed to being one who will “lay hold on eternal life” rather than one who “will be rich”?
“I give thee charge…keep this commandment” — which one? And how would I summarize it?
