You Won’t Believe What Happened in 2025…

Why is it that the older you get, the faster time flies? This year went by in a blink. What happened? Quite a bit actually:

• 250,000 new words were written for the Grace Commentary
• we published grace-based study Bibles for four New Testament epistles
• I wrote a grace-based commentary covering all the Parables of Jesus (coming soon!)
• many grace articles and words of encouragement were shared with hundreds of thousands of readers
• thousands of books were given to leaders who are growing in grace
• I wrote a little book called The Grace Revolution (you can get it free here.)

Grace is a funny thing. Grace gets you to drop your burdens, rest, and breathe freely. Grace removes the pressure to perform and that’s wonderful. But that’s not all grace does.

As you abandon old mindsets and fix your eyes on Christ, it’s like you grow wings. You’re still resting, but now you’re soaring with the eagles, seeing everything more clearly and covering more ground than you ever could in your own strength.

Truly, the grace of God is marvelous!

You may have noticed that nearly everything in the list above is available free of charge. Monthly supporters make it possible for me to write full-time AND to give away most of what I create. Without the generosity of these wonderful partners, there would be no Grace Commentary, no Grace Bible, and no Escape to Reality.

So, on behalf of all my readers, I want to give a huge Christmas “thank you” to our official supporters:

Christmas is a time of hitting pause and reflecting on just how much our heavenly Father loves us and has blessed us. As we sing in the carols, he is truly “God with us”.

Camilla and I trust you have a wonderful Christmas with friends and loved ones, and a blessed new year to come.

PS: In the new year, I’m going to offer readers a chance to get their names in my new book. This is something I haven’t done in six years, so it’s a rare opportunity. I’ll tell you more in a few weeks, but if your name is on the official supporter’s page when we go to print, you’ll be in the book.
