This week, I studied Proverbs 18:1: “He who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound judgment.”

In context, James may have originally been addressing believers who traveled for business to different cities throughout the Roman empire...

“Why should the fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?” (17:16, BSB)
