Temperance: Proverb and Ezekiel 18th Chapter
Temperance: Fruit of the Spirit

Temperance means to restrain from or be absent from

Through out the word of God men and women alike have been tempted. Some gave in and some refused. In every case there is a lesson to be learned.

The Bible talks about sexual restraints. In the book of Ezekiel 18th Chapter it is a sin to look upon your neighbors wife in that manner or to touch a women during her menstruation. Intimacy should not be.
Even for husbands and wives to restrain themselves from each other as to fasting.

Restraints from strong drinks: Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is thereby is not wise. Proverbs 23:20-21 Be not among winebibbers, among riotuous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the gluttons shall come to poverty and drowsiness shall clothes a man with rags.

Temperance with food: Proverbs 23:2 When sitting down with a ruler consider diligently what is before thee. Put a knife to thy throat if thy be a man of great appetite. It is not wise to sit and eat at every table. This saying goes spiritually and naturally.

We must be temperance even with our words that come from our mouth:Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverb 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. I Thessalonians 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with you own hands as we command you. Even so the tongue is a little members; and the tongue is a fire a world of iniquity so is the tongue among our members that it defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the course of nature. James said out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren these things ought not so to be.

It is my prayer for each of us that we let God have his perfect way in our lives and that we let the fruit of the spirit dwell in us. Peace my Royal

    The bible gives us many examples on alcohol and how can having a drink affects your brain and ability to make correct decisions. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise” (Proverbs 20:1 KJV). Throughout reading the bible we find many verses about how drinking wine or alcohol affects your vision and perception. Also, throughout the whole bible God recommends us not to consume it. One important thing we must keep in mind is that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we must watch what we put in it. “What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body , and in your spirit , which are God’s” ( 1Corinthians 6:19-20…

    Most couples get married with the idea that they will somehow live a blissful happy ever after life. Most never realize that the wedding is only a ceremony, a snapshot in time of overwhelming joy and exhilaration soon to lose its luster to the dross of selfishness and many other relationship killers. Marriage, on the other hand is a marathon not a sprint, a lifetime of two people intentionally working to live together and become one. God proclaimed to the first man that he, “shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” (Gen 2:24) God’s intent for marriage is intimacy. The Hebrew word used here in Genesis is (דָּבַק, dabaq , daw-bak), which simply means to cling or adhere to. Couples are commanded by God to get to know one another in a special closeness to the point they are as “one flesh.” Adam’s sin caused God to pronounce a curse on the intimacy of the relationship that would affect couples until this day. God pronounced a curse upon the relationship between Adam and Eve. (Gen 3:16). It may be debated exactly what the curse meant, but it is clear that the dynamic of the relationship between man and woman had now changed. Ronald Hawkins in his book, “Strengthening Martial Intimacy” lays out a biblical based roadmap on how to regain and…

    In 1620, the first booze came to America was on the Mayflower. Then on the ship, people carried more beer than water.(143) The Puritans on the ship didn’t oppose drinking, they just opposed drinking too much. The famed Puritan preacher Increase Mather wrote that “Drink is in itself a good Creature of God, and to be received with thankfulness, but the abuse of drink is from satan.”(144) Not only Puritans, America’s native-born also like drinking.(145) “In the…

    History of Ems

    The History of EMS PARM 102 Prof. Rita Elliott Ivy Tech Community College Feb. 3, 2009 The beginnings of EMS were nothing like the EMS that we know today. The first emergency medical teams started in first half of the 20thcentury and operated out of funeral homes. They would transport the sick and injured to hospitals as well as take the deceased to the funeral home. The funeral home employees had little knowledge of first aid and were in the business only because the hearses were large enough to transport the stretchers. After World War IIthe first real ambulance services began to appear. Although it was a step in a good direction away from the funeral home service, the new ambulance crews were still untrained and poorly equipped. There were no minimum training requirements for employees, so in most cases basic first aid was the only knowledge they had. It was still better than nothing at all. In the late 60’s a national standard of training for pre-hospital care personnel was established. It involved a series of presentations, manuals, and slides. It was the first attempt at basic training requirements for EMS. 9-1-1 had its beginnings in the late 60’s also. The number was beginning to be recognized and set aside as the number for emergencies. Although the EMS system was beginning to improve in the 60’s, there was still a lack of consistency. Few states had written a standard of training yet. The ambulances and the equipment carried on them was poor quality also. The aid bags could weigh as much as 100 pounds and was very inconvenient to carry in emergencies. Radio communication in the 60’s was also unreliable. An estimated five percent of ambulances had any communication with hospitals. Also, many ambulances would only transport patients to their own hospital, regardless of how close another hospital was, or how much better equipped another hospital was for the situation. In 1970the national registry of Emergency Medical Technicians was established. The…

    Most everyone including the church views human sexuality to be separated from theology. Penner and Penner (2003) argued that this is not a biblical interpretation of human sexuality. God's value of the sexuality of the individual and sexuality in the marriage relationship is clearly depicted in the Bible. Sexuality, Penner and Penner (2003) contend, is a gift from God to be experienced and enjoyed between a man and his wife. The relationship between a man and his wife, is one of the deepest commitment one human can make to another. It is a lifelong commitment to honor, cherish, and to be faithful until death to another person. God has given the precious gift of sex within the context of a marital relationship only.…

    Temperance, eat not to dullness. Franklin states some associate temperance with eating and drinking, but wasn't his intentions. My reasoning for why I feel this is one of the most important virtues is because one should always keep cool no matter what situation.
