1 Timothy 6:11-12

 "But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.  Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."  1 Timothy 6:11-12

I am most interested in one thing for the purpose of this blog today - the movement.  Notice that we must flee from something.  You will have to go back into the earlier parts of 1 Timothy to figure out exactly all these things, but one of them is the love of money spoken about in verse 10.  But whatever all these things are we are to flee from them.  I think that we have to flee because on our own we would find ourselves in the midst of these things.  These things come naturally to us.  And so we are told to run away quickly from them.  You do not flee something casually, or carefully, you simply run away.  But we are also told to run toward something - movement.  We are to pursue 6 things.  And notice that pursuit implies chasing until they are caught.  And since these things (at least most of them) are demonstrable to not be caught until we are glorified, we will be pursuing them for a lifetime!  So do not give up - keep pursuing the things that God tells us to pursue!
