The Heavy Yoke of Religion

Dustin Renz
President of Make Way Ministries

Pure Life Ministries has been a pioneer in dealing with sexual addiction and its consequences for over 35 years. During that span of time thousands of people have found freedom through our counseling programs and teaching materials.

The Pharisees began as an attempt to know practically how to walk in a way that pleased God. But by Jesus’s time, the laws and regulations they had created and placed upon the backs of the Israelites were a very heavy burden. The mask of religious adherence is always a great weight, and it grows heavier and heavier the longer we choose to stay under it. Only when we turn to Jesus and take His yoke upon us, can truly find rest.
