The story is told of a Christian employee who was approached by a fellow employee, asking him if he wanted to put a dollar in a football pot that was to be played on the weekend.<\/p>\n
The Christian employee declined the offer, but the fellow employee told him, “Hey, it’s only a dollar.” The Christian employee replied that he didn’t have a dollar in his billfold. The fellow employee told him, “Well, I’ll put your name down and you can give me a dollar later on.” To which the Christian employee replied, “No, I’m afraid I don’t care to gamble.”<\/p>\n
Imagine the surprise of the Christian employee when his fellow employee answered, “I knew that I just wanted to see if you would.”<\/p>\n
That Christian employee’s influence was on the line, although he didn’t really realize it until after the incident was over with several days later.<\/p>\n
