Accountability (Revised)



I try to see good in everyone, so what about accountability? Does it matter? I think so. Do we make excuses for bad behavior? It seems a lot can be explained and diagnosed by "experts" and much sympathy is offered by "ministers." It seems they have solutions in religion or a "pill." However, it seems to me that erroneous conduct should be exposed and corrected (this may take much courage), rather than enabled. When an athlete ("...as an athlete..." 2 Timothy  5:2) performs a play that results in a goal, it may be described as "well-executed."

Early Christian teaching instructs that those in the ministry are to be "industrious."

The Path: Discipline (Athletic)



In continually relying on vehicles and technology, people have lost understanding of their humanity. Many are out of touch. They are not on the straight path and are not aligned. This is in part why prize-winning athletes (especially working athletes in the trades) should be more appreciated - because they are in tune with their bodies and realize what's involved in achieving high standards of honest living. They understand that strong health is not instant, but is built step by step... over time.  So, not as a "Rabbi" (Matthew 23:8 NIV) and not as a "Reverend." The example here is quite unmistakable, "...as an athlete..." (2 Timothy 5:2 NIV). Notice "...STRICT TRAINING..." (1 Cor. 9:25, my emphasis).  #NoShortCutToExcellence
