(2 Chronicles 26:16-21) But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his

destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense. So Azariah the priest went in after him,

and with him were eighty priests of the LORD-valiant men. And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn

incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God." Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn

incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house

of the LORD, beside the incense altar. And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that

place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the LORD had struck him. King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his

death. He dwelt in an isolated house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD. Then

Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land. (NKJV)

The Exclusivity of Christianity

(John 14:6) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (NKJV)

(Matthew 7:13-14) "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the

gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. "Because narrow is the gate and

difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (NKJV)

The Choice is Yours

(Joshua 24:15) "And if it seems evil to you to

serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods

which your fathers served that were on the other side of the

River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my

house, we will serve the LORD." (NKJV)
