[ John 3; 19] And this the condemnation, that light comes into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because the deeds were evil. 20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be manifest, that are wrought in God.
Explain in your own word, what is the spiritual lessons, that the child of God, should be able to learn in those given versus.

Antique English Gothic style (1920s) wrought iron 8 light
Does one need an electrician for switching out a light fixture?
Ok, several questions, but all related: 1) I have some light fixtures (brass), I want replaced with nickel light fixtures. I was told I need to have a licensed technician for this work. Can't I do it myself? 2) I also want to bring down some fans and light fixtures to paint in a wrought iron finish, and put them back up. Do I need an electrician for this as well? 3) What do electricians cost for switching out lights, and for replacing some light fixtures with recessed lights?
So many questions. No, you don't need an electrician if you are somewhat handy. And by handy, I don't mean, "Yah, I've hammered a nail before." An electrician might be a good idea if you have never dealt with electrical work. Now, If you are one of those gals that can turn a screwdriver and you pay attention to finer details, you may get away with this one.
For starters, to change out a fixture, you will need to find the circuit that your light is powered with and shut down that circuit at your breaker or fuse panel. Once you are certain that there is no power present, remove the fixture, paying close attention to the color of wire on the old fixture and what color wire it is connected to in the ceiling. Usually, the hot wire is black, the neutral is white and (if a ground wire is present) it will be green.
This is the point in the project I do differently than anyone else. I put a wire nut over each bare wire coming out of the ceiling and push the wires up into the ceiling box. Then I take my new fixture and install it to the box FIRST before making any electrical connections. I want to see how the light is going to mount before I worry about making electrical wire connections. You want to know what you are getting into prior to connection the wires. Anyway, you could use this tip or dive-in. Just remember, if you are alone, it is very tough to hold the fixture, while making wire connnection and mounting the fixture to the ceiling. You really need help with this if you haven't done it before. You need some to hold the light for you while you do the wiring and mounting.
The new fixtures should have a black and white wire coming out of it. With a pair of pliers, twist new fixture wires with the wires coming out of the ceiling, once again, using the wire color as your guide. Make sure that this wire twist is very good, making a good connection and capping each pair of twisted wires with a wire nut. Your fixtures should have come with wire nuts. Mount the fixture, insert bulbs, turn the circuit back on at the panel and flip the switch.
DON'T DO FANS YOURSELF. EVEN TOUGHER TO HOLD ONTO THAN REGULAR FIXTURES. Once again, wiring is the issue here. There a couple more connections than on a regular light fixtures. IF, and that's a big if, you want to do this, handle it like the fixture above, but (this is if you are putting the same back up on the ceiling) take some masking tape and make tags for your wires. Before disconnection any fan wires, tag the wire on the fan with coordinating wire in ceiling and label them both with an "A." Repeat for the next pair with a "B" and so-on. Bring the fan down, do your painting and put it back up. You may want to remove the fan blades before doing anything and once again, make sure you have help lowering and lifting the fan motor. Two ladders with two people.
An electrician may not be necessary. If you can't do this alone, find a reputable home handyman that will work for $20.00 per hour or he may quote at $20.00 per fixture and $40.00 per ladder.
