I wouldn't say so necessarily. It depends on the heart. If, say, I didn't want to go into the slums to minister because it might damage my reputation, yes that's pride and wrong. If I didn't think it wise to minister to a woman 1 on 1 because it might damage my reputation, that is ensuring that I am above reproach, which Paul counselled Timothy on and that, itself, is biblical.

I don’t even think about it.

I know who I am and what I am in Christ, and I demonstrate that in my walk with integrity. What is seen in the contrail ….I guess would be my reputation.
