“Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor” (Eccl 10:1) Solomon penned those Word’s thousands of years ago, yet the truth of them is felt just as much today.

A Few Thoughts on Covetousness
What is covetousness? Many know the 10th commandment, “Thou Shalt not covet” (Ex 20:17), but do we really know what covetousness is?
