| Healing Spiritual Abuse: How to Break Free from Bad Church Experience |
The other day I drove past a number of Bible churches and asked myself what it could mean. It could mean that the Bible is taught. But don’t all churches teach the Bible? They do. Sometimes it seems as if Christians who cry the loudest about believing the Bible are the most oppressive and burdensome. How could that be? Yet sometimes all churches, which claim to teach the Bible add cumbersome loads, heavy burdens, bundles of rules, unbearable religious demands over and above what the Bible teaches. Jesus said that his burden would be light (Matthew 11:28-30) and later contrasted that with the heavy burden of those in his day who taught the Bible (Matthew 23:1-12). Teaching the Bible does not guarantee less burden. In the hands of hypocrites who love power, it can be a greater burden.
