In Deuteronomy 29, the children of Israel stand on the cusp of a new life in the Promised Land. So near to the completion of this 40 year journey, God calls on them to look back, to see His faithful provision and protection. He wanted them to see that they had not reached this place in their own strength, but because of His loving purpose. He is the whole point. If they walk forward into their fut...

It destroys, separates, and distorts. In Deuteronomy 27, God reinforces the importance of following His way, commanding the priests to call out those things which bring curse on His people.

Our greatest freedom is found in our surrender to the benevolent Sovereign. He is the One who has made us and He knows what makes us thrive. God’s laws in Deuteronomy 25 were given to Israel to promote human flourishing by removing the obstructions of cruelty and repression.
