Time is the subject of several of the most enigmatic parables, such as the parable of the vineyard workers.  The workers measure their value and expectation for compensation in terms of time, but the master compensates the workers independent of time.  The parable teaches the power of [[God]] to forgive the person who repents late in life as easily as the person who finds God as a young man.  But the parable also reflects the timelessness of God in contrast to the time-obsessed nature of man.

Time is a valuable resource, and each person has the responsibility not to squander the gift of time by engaging in unproductive activities such as watching [[television]], senseless bickering or frequenting worthless websites on the internet, and instead to use their time industriously for the betterment of society and the greater [[glory]] of [[God]]. [[Conservative values]] can be a helpful aid to achieving this objective.

In legal proceedings, court rules specify how time is calculated for determining deadlines.  The [[Federal Rules of Civil Procedure]], for example, has a separate Rule 6 entitled "'''Time'''".  As of 2008 it specifies that holidays and weekends are included in calculating time periods for deadlines unless the period "prescribed or allowed is less than 11 days."  When the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday or day in which the office of the clerk is inaccessible due to "weather or other conditions," then the deadline is the next day not aforementioned.
