Keeping appointed times. The practical expression of love-of-neighbor (respect for the other's time) and of integrity in keeping one's word (the appointment is a small covenant). Christ's let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay (Matt 5:37) covers the bound nature of all commitments, including stated times. Ecclesiastes 3:1: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. The biblical man's yes-at-3pm is yes-at-3pm, not yes-at-3:20-most-days. Habitual lateness reveals either disordered priorities (other matters always preempt the appointment), disrespect (the other person's time matters less than mine), or weakness of will (I cannot organize my own movements). Christ Himself moved with deliberate pace toward His appointed hour. The modern excuses (busy schedule, traffic, last-minute things) are usually self-deception. The punctual Christian honors his word and his neighbor with the same small act.
