## Hello Friends!

“There isn’t time enough to sing of all He has done, but I have eternity to try.”

I love the song *A Thousand Hallelujahs*, and that line especially.

Goodness—He has done so much.

Every week, I hear stories of the Holy Spirit leading people into truth, just as Jesus promised in John 16:13. Truth does set us free; and we are learning what that freedom looks like—living within the boundaries God has given us, held fast, even in the chaos of a world marred by sin.

- The world's freedom = chaos
- God's Freedom = peace

We are a privileged people, friends.

Coming Up:

- Malone Worship Band - March 1
