The Island City Christian & Calvary Stanberry Churches

(Isaiah 59:2, But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.)

A question often asked of the preacher of the Word of God is, “Why doesn’t God answer my prayers”? If we would but listen to God’s voice spoken through the written word the answer would be clear. Iniquity: Defined by the dictionary ‘as in sin’, immoral conduct or practices harmful or offensive to society with synonyms: corruption, immorality, perversion, indecency, licentiousness, depravity, wickedness, criminality and the list goes on and on. The issue with society is that these obvious offenses to God have been changed to be that which are desirable traits indulging the imagination of the mind. I even hear preachers claim that the consequence in not accepting a doctrine of faith is eternal ‘Separation from God’. I ask the question, “If someone is living in the here and now without a relationship with the God of creation why would this information bring them to desire a change in their behavior”? I look to what Jesus said about those who live a life of licentiousness from the gospel of (Mark 9:43-48, If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire—where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’) Now, tell me which gives a person the greatest incentive to repent, leaving the immoral ways of this world to be granted assurance of an eternity with Jesus? To be eternally separated from God, when they already are, or suffering in the eternal fire of Hell?

I have known Cara from our previous home that we remodeled after my experience with her and Eckards, I knew I wanted to use her from the beginning when building our dream home. She gets my style and always makes sure we love what we are getting. We are thankful for her and Eckards in making this process less stressful!
