Have we forgotten God? Have you forgotten God? As a society, as a nation, as people are we forgetting God? Everyday we make choices and decisions. We either follow God or ignore Him.

Flawed but Usable
We are all flawed. We fall to temptation, have struggles, insecurities, weaknesses and brokenness within. We make mistakes. We make wrong choices. We sin.

We were made to live one day at a time. Each moment, each part of the day, all elements of each day were made for us by God. He planned our days. He has things he wants to teach and show us every day. Each day He calls out to us. Through everything He is there.…
Forward Moment by Moment
