 Genesis 4 retells the account of Cain and Able. Able offers the best of
his livestock to God. Cain offers produce from the land. God is pleased
with Able's offering by not Cain's. Although the text seemsto indicate
a more sacrificial gift from Able (“fat portions”, “firstborn of
flock”) than Cain (“some of”), there is no explanation as to why God
favors one gift over another.

 The Christian Chronicle reports on the “quadrennial gathering of members of the Churches of Christ, Christian Churches and Disciples of Christ worldwide” known as the World Convention. “Mike Cope, preaching minister at the Highland Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas, and keynote speaker, said: 'There are differences among the three groups, of course, but this isn’t a gathering that focuses on those. Rather, it’s a unity meeting.'” The article is here at the bottom of the page.

 Proverbs 18 1 One who isolates himself pursues [selfish] desires; he rebels against all sound judgment. (Holman CSB)
Deuteronomy 28 9 The LORD will establish you as His holy people, as He
swore to you, if you obey the commands of the LORD your God and walk in
His ways. (Holman CSB)
Isolation is dividing or separating from others or being divided or
separated from others. Sometimes isolation (parad) and holy (qodesh )
are used interchangeably by those who wish to defend their
divisiveness. Parad and qodesh are not the same. Qodesh refers to
that which has been put aside by God for His purpose as holy or
consecrated. Parad is also a separation, but not necessarily with
purpose or God's intent but by man's catalyst. Why are parad and
qodesh often switched? Because men “pursue selfish desires”.
