One great piece of mischief has been done by the modern restriction of the word temperance to the question of drink.  It helps people to forget that you can be just as intemperate about lots of other things.  A man who makes his golf or his motorcycle the center of his life, or a woman who devotes all her thoughts to clothes or bridge or her dog, is being just as “intemperate” as someone who gets drunk every evening.  Of course, it does not show on the outside so easily; bridge mania or golf mania do not make you fall down in the middle of the road.  But God is not deceived by externals.

C. S. Lewis

“Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness.  Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.  But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.  But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

Joshua 24:14-15
The New International Version
