“But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.”

     On every sports team there is a captain. His job is to be the leader of the team in every way. He is the one who gets on player’s case who is slacking, rather that be in school or in the games. The captain has to set the standards. But if the he does not set the example in the class room and on the field, then he has no position to correct his teammates. He must look at his work ethic, his grades, and his character first, before he can say anything to them. I think this verse ties in with responsibility, which has been a topic the last few days here at the ranch.

Application:

     I’ll be the one to initiate cleaning in the men’s dorm every weekend so that it always gets done.
