Being on Time?

Is it really that important to be on time to work, church, etc.

I mean as long as we show up whats the problem. We're giving. we're involved.

At work I jump in (when I get there) and do my job.

15 min. maybe a 1/2 hr shouldn't be that big of a deal right?

This looks like a set up....

(sneakily looking around)

Drives me nuts!

If you say you are going to be there at a certain time, then be there at that time!

It is my opinion that if you are consistently late for church, it is a sign that there are idols in your life.

That of course doesn't apply to people who may have jobs that prevent them, or other emergencies.

I mean chronic latebugs.

I actually mentioned this while teaching Wednesday night.

...or that YOUR time is more valuable than anyone else's. It's just rude to be habitually late.

One of my pet peeves is people being late for church --- Yet, they can be on time for work and any where else they go!

Me too.

That speaks loudly and clearly about priorities.

This one is on time for Church. Numero uno priority.
My wife being from the Philippines had to work on that.
That is one area I won't compromise in.

One of my pet peeves though is people who are to early.
I have had people come to a meeting a 1/2 hour early than wonder why they have to wait.
