The aim of the Christian is to keep a light touch on this world knowing that WE do not have to strive to get ahead. Unchecked desires leads to harmful living. The “love of money” is literally describing a person who gives an ungenerous amount. The Christian is to:

• Pursue OR build his life on biblical truths.
• Fight (v.12) NLT for eternal things
• Command (v.17) NLT
• Guard (v.20) The truths you’ve been taught
