A Jon Foreman song I love is based on these verses... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrY1-gPM0KY&sns=em
A really good reminder.
Amos 5:14 Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed.
15 Hate evil and love what is good; turn your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will have mercy on the remnant of his people.
21 “I hate all your show and pretense— the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies.
22 I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won’t even notice all your choice peace offerings.
23 Away with your noisy hymns of praise! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living.
6:12 But that’s how foolish you are when you turn justice into poison and the sweet fruit of righteousness into bitterness.
