We're surrounded by the following messages: live for pleasure; satisfy your appetites; don't worry about tomorrow. This is the stupidity of anyone being a slave to their appetites. If we as Christian men want to counteract such slavery, we need to grow in the virtue of temperance. Self restraint and moderation give us the freedom we truly want as followers of Christ.
My notes:
- Temperance is not total abstinence.
- Temperance is the brake pedal for your appetites.
- Moderation gives us freedom to maximize higher pleasures.
- Temperance doesn't mean there aren't moments of feasting.
- Personal thresholds are a great way to practice temperance.
Here's the tool I use to get guys started with setting personal thresholds. It's a piece of the CT12 challenge - a spiritual exercise for guys who feel stuck.
