Doing Right When Everybody's Not

For his UCG Houston youth day sermon, Mr. Smith addresses an issue that affects all of us, but especially younger people. The issue of dealing with the pressures in life that arise when we see everyone else living contrary to God's commands and are tempted to follow their example.

Gary Smith was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but spent most of his youth in the Pasadena, California area. He graduated from Ambassador College in 1976 and he and his wife, Liz, moved to Peoria, Illinois. For the next six years he worked as a nursing home administrator in Illinois, Ohio, and Texas.
In 1982, he and Liz began to serve in the full-time ministry. Since that time, they have served in a number of congregations in the Midwest.
Gary and Liz now pastor in Houston, Texas near their two children and grandson.
Apart from pastoring, Gary enjoys hiking, playing and watching sports, reading and spending time with family.
