“So know this name. Shout it back at the enemy when he attacks. Comfort yourself and others with it. When the bills pile up and the money isn’t there to pay them, Jehovah Shammah!  When your spouse leaves you and the loneliness surrounds like a fog, Jehovah Shammah!  When affliction strikes and the pain is so intense you think you will die, Jehovah Shammah!  When you weep silently in the midnight hour over things you cannot tell your family or friends, Jehovah Shammah!  And when the final hour of this life comes, and the darkness of death closes in around you, look for the light. In just a little while, you will stand face to face with Jehovah Shammah, The Lord who is there.”

“It seems that the both extremes, centralized economies and laissez-faire free markets, carry the seeds of their own destruction. Centralized economies provide no incentive for the entrepreneur to develop new products, but an unregulated free market represses innovation by turning everything over to mega-corporations, which buy up and suppress products that might threaten their own interests. In both cases innovation, the lifeblood of any economy is discouraged.”
