So it is out of thanks that we make offerings of the time, talents, and treasures that God has given to us.

We look at the account of King Uzziah’s sinful pride and death to learn that even when people have good intentions, if they act against God's instructions and the true teaching of the Bible, God will warn and discipline them.
