How preachers through history handled this text
11 public-domain excerpts on Deuteronomy 11, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Moses sets before them, for the future, life and death, the blessing and the curse, according as they did or did not keep God's commandment. Sin tends to shorten the days of all men, and to shorten the days of a people's prosperity. God will bless them with an abundance of all good things, if they would love him and serve him. Godliness has the promise of the life that now is; but the favour of God shall put gladness into the heart, more than the increase of corn, and wine, and oil. Revolt from God to idols would certainly be their ruin. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Deuteronomy 11:8–17 (Public Domain)
