I explained that I really didn't have any time available and suggested another counselor we had trained. A short time later I received a call from a businessman who wanted to bring a celebrity by who was in town working on a movie. I also found that God's correction system is very painful sometimes. I had to call the businessman back and tell him I couldn't meet with him and the celebrity until later. Then, I had to call my counselee back and ask her forgiveness.
Nothing points more clearly to a pride problem than an aloof leader.
Christians are no longer useful to God's work when they only want to associate with the right people and look down at others because they're less educated, less intelligent, or less successful. A businessman who looks down on his employees and other contacts will not be a witness on the job. That's why Christians in authority should care about the least significant person in the company as much as the most important. One businessman I knew made a concerted effort to step out of his executive mold and serve others first. He directed his efforts toward getting to know his lowest level employees.
