Interesting, a temperate man “has a clear focus on life and…doesn’t live in a constant state of anxiety because of world conditions.
In other words, the temperate man is one who trust and relies on Christ so that nothing depends on anything else. His life is measured by that relationship. His family, work, recreation, investment, future, etc. is fully dependent on His walk with Christ and not economy, health-care, achievement, etc.
It is interesting as well how Getz brings faith, hope, and love to be the hallmark attributes of the temperate man.
Take some extra time and review the “probing questions” and the “practical suggestions” that Getz makes on pages 52-53.
