Monday, Jan 4 Deuteronomy 27  Read & Listen Online   (Click “Audio” link to listen)
1. The final curse shouted by the people from Mount Ebal summarizes our condition under God’s Law, because we are unable to obey it. “Cursed is the man who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out” (Deut 27:26).
