Dear steward,
One of the downsides of being the “Christian productivity guy” is that no one cuts me any slack for being late!
If I’m even a few minutes tardy to a meeting or event, it seems somebody always takes it upon themselves to give me a hard time about it.
But the truth is I don’t mind a little ribbing, and I actually kind of like the added accountability. Because I firmly believe that being on time is simply a practical way for Christians to love others. And, frankly, it’s not something I’m always the best at it. So I’ll take take the encouragement to be punctual where I can get it.
But there are actually better (and more biblical) reasons to be someone who is on time for things. This week I wrote down three of the most important reasons why Christians should make a point of being punctual. And I also included the 5 most helpful tactics I’ve found for improving in this area.
