In our modern world, besides non-Christians, there are many Christians who are like Uzzah.
They think as long as they sacrifice the time to support, to console, to help, to comfort, etc. they are doing a "good" thing.
Big news, take a look at Uzzah, who helped securing the Ark of God (2 Samuel 6:6).
It is better to be useful to God within His Grace than to be useful to God outside of His Grace.
When someone is hurt emotionally, one thinks as long as the support one gives makes that someone feel "unhurt", he or she is doing the right thing. Know ye not the difference between happiness and licentiousness.
Sometimes I ask myself, why are the Christians today getting dumber and dumber? We've rejected God's teaching, we've ignored the seasons, we've rearranged the order of things God intended, leaving non-Christians the opportunity to be a little more righteous than the children of God. What is sad is, even when we realized this, we are satisfied and happy with what we have realized.
This is not for all to know. Which is why I have been very critical about the Americans. They have the resources, they have the education, yet they are acting like barbarians. There could be a time, when we "foreigners" need to be prepared to save America.
