Sin is too heavy

Friends, sin’s too heavy for you to carry. The only place in the world to put your burden is at the cross of Christ. He bore it for you. He invites you to come. Bring your burden of sin to Him and He’ll forgive you. He bore it for us on the cross. Then there’s that commitment we can make. “Take His yoke”—and that means to be yoked with Him. Learn of Him. He’s “meek and lowly in heart.” And then there is a rest that comes by being committed to Christ. You don’t have to worry about certain things if you’re committed to Him. You don’t have to be running around after it, because He’ll put you right where He wants you if you’re yoked up to Him.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.


After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.


He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.


On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
