    It is suppose to be titled Exchange Evil for good, maybe the title will be ok like it is?

    Isaiah 5:

    20 Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
    who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
    who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.

    Malachi 2:
    17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. “How have we wearied him?” you ask.
    By saying, “All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them” or “Where is the God of justice?”

    Proverbs 17:
    15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—
    the LORD detests them both.

    Amos 5:
    7 There are those who turn justice into bitterness
    and cast righteousness to the ground.

    Job 17:
    12 turn night into day;
    in the face of the darkness light is near.

    1 Corinthians 15:
    33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”[ From the Greek poet Menander] 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.


    Are we in the days where good is evil and evil is good. That the evil we do is ordained by God so it is O.K. to do it, to fullfill the purpose of God. That working out our salvation with fear and trembling is evil because it is us trying to earn our salvation?

    Weared the Lord

    What does it mean to you to wearied the Lord with your words?

    Matthew 6:
    22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[The Greek for healthy here implies generous.] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[The Greek for unhealthy here implies stingy.] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

    Luke 11:
    The Lamp of the Body
    33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[The Greek for healthy here implies generous.] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[The Greek for unhealthy here implies stingy.] your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

    Matthew 9:
    12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[Hosea 6:6] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

    If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!?
