Uzziah did what was right in God’s sight. He set himself to seek the Lord, and God made him prosper. His fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped... ...till he was strong. But when he was strong he grew proud to his destruction. Let us take heed.

Most people assume they're good with God. So, telling them the good news of Jesus Christ while avoiding telling them the bad news about their sin, hell, and God's wrath just confirms their self-deception.

Life is hard. People are complex. The world is complicated. Sin is miserable. God is sovereign and God is love. Christ is the way and Christ is coming. The Spirit convicts and comforts. Heaven is home. One day, everything will not just be okay, it will be perfect, and God will get all the glory.

Pastors our focus isn't the conference circuit, but the counseling room, the hospital bed, the graveside, the ordinary.
