11 But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.

I love vs 11... "Flee from these things,...and pursue... What a great reminder that it is not only shunning the evil things of this world but (and I think more importantly) pursue Christ, fight the fight, obey our calling!

Lord, help me to Hate Evil and Pursue Christ!
