Pursue the Father 1. Love the other 2. Detach from created things 3. Appraise self rightly Applying God's Word to Life Describe a time when you didn't put first things first. What do you see around you that seems out of order? Why do so many get the order wrong when it comes to doing good and trusting Christ? Do you think that we struggle to understand that apart from Christ we can do nothing? What would change if we did? Who is difficult to love? How do you detach from created things in a culture fixated on things? How do you maintain the inward/outward balance of the Christian life?
