Seasonal Virtues
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers. (Psalm 1:1-3)
Virtue needs to be dwelt on, it goes well for who ever does.
In an evangelical Christian world 'theology' has been knighted unnoticed now, waiting 'submerged' in the gospels. Jesus taught and demonstrated more 'virtue' than 'theology/doctrine'.
Nigh on two centuries ago Rev. Charles Spurgeon wrote:
It is said in praise of the tree firmly planted by the rivers of water that it brings forth its fruit 'in its season'.
Good men should aim to have seasonal virtues. For instance, a forgiving spirit is golden if it displays itself in the moment an injury is received. It is but silver if it shows itself on speedy reflection. And, it is merely lead if it appears after a delayed time of cooling.

'Theology' is simply man's attempts to think God's thoughts after Him.
