Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 28:15

Deuteronomy 28:15 I. The curse which Moses foretold was the natural consequence of the sins of the people. The Bible meaning of a curse is simply the natural consequence of men's own ill actions. For even in this life the door of mercy may be shut, and we may cry in vain for mercy when it is the time for justice. This is not merely a doctrine; it is a common, patent fact.

They often bury camels and asses in the deserts, and form ridges and hills... read more

Deuteronomy 28:15-19If thou wilt not hearken.Blessing and cursing-an Ash Wednesday sermonDoes the Commination Service curse men? Are these good people (who are certainly right in their horror of cursing) right in the accusations which they bring against it?
