Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
"Rescue those who are led away to death. And do not cease from delivering those who are dragged away to a violent death." ~ Proverbs 24:11

"Experts" Say...
1874 – State geologist of Pennsylvania said that the U.S. had only enough oil to last four years.
1885 – U.S. Geological Survey said that California had “little or no chance of finding oil.” California would go on to become one of the United States’ largest domestic oil suppliers. The Golden State has produced more than 7.5 billion barrels of oil in the last quarter-century alone.[8]
1914 – The U.S. Bureau of Mines claimed that the country had only a ten-year supply of oil.
1916 – The U.S. Bureau of Mines warned about “a crisis of the first magnitude.”
1940 – The U.S. Bureau of Mines predicted that the U.S. would exhaust its domestic oil reserves by 1954.
1969 – According to estimates, the state of Oklahoma had 125 million barrels of oil left in the ground. Over the next quarter-century, Oklahoma would produce 4.5 billion barrels of crude oil.
1972 – The Club of Rome estimated that only 550 billion barrels of oil remained in the earth. In just the last two decades, however, the world has used 600 billion.
1980 – Energy Secretary James Schlesinger announced that America’s “energy future is bleak” and likely to grow bleaker. Schlesinger warned about “chronic stringency” in the decades ahead. By the mid-1980s, a worldwide glut of oil drove prices down from a high of over $60 per barrel to under $20 per barrel (2004 dollars). Prices remained under $30 per barrel (dropping to as little as $12) until 2004.
1997 – British oil analyst Colin Campbell predicted peak world production was just around the corner and claimed that the world was on the brink of war, starvation, and possible extinction

"I am not fighting for a freedom that means the right to whatever I please but for a freedom that means the right do whatever I ought. Oughtness implies Law; Law implies Intelligence, and Intelligence implies God." - Bishop Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book

Born in Hamburg, Germany, Presbyterian minister William J.H. Boetcker (1873-1962) lectured around the United States about the hard work and character that leads to success.
"Never mind what others do," he said. "Do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success."
"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift."
"You cannot help small men by tearing down big men."
"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong."
"You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer."
"You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich."
"You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income."
"You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred."
"You cannot establish security on borrowed money."
"You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence."
"You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
