Money, Finance and Investing

"Money ... has something in it sacred that is not to be sported with, or trusted to the airy bubble of paper currency." (Thomas Paine, 1737 - 1809)
The Lord hates dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. (Proverbs 11:1) The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts. (Haggai 2:8)
The borrower is slave to the lender. (Proverbs 22:7)  The wicked borrows and does not repay. (Psalm 37:21)
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. (Proverbs 14:34)

VIDEOS ABOUT OIL

Addicted to Oil1  2  3  4  5 (about fuel alternatives)
Why we're addicted to oil:
1) An oil baron funded people who fought for the Great Prohibition, which was in effect from 1920 to 1933 and caused the USA to stop using alcohol as the standard fuel and use oil instead
2) Scientists on oil company payroll made terribly bad assumptions leading to wrong conclusions, saying that alcohol is impractical as a fuel, when alcohol is actually very efficient and helpful to the environment if produced and sold locally in a de-centralized system that cuts oil companies out of the picture!
3) When it really matters, information in the US is censored

WORDS WE HOPE TO HEAR ONE DAY
"Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things,
I will make you ruler over many things.  Enter into the joy of your lord"
(Mt. 25:21 NKJV)

 WORDS ABOUT INVESTING
If you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust to true riches?" (Lk. 16:11 NKJV)

WORDS OF WARNING
The Apostle Paul wrote, "Now godliness with contentment is great gain. We brought nothing into the world and it is certain that neither can we take anything out. So having food and clothing we will be content with that. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful desires, that plunge people into ruin and loss; because the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil; in their greediness some have been led away from the faith and have impaled themselves on many distresses." (1 Tim. 6:6-10 NKJV)
