Celebrating 25 years of Thinky Things!

Acts 9
A WEEK-OLD CHRISTIAN

Some of us have known the gospel message all our lives – and often we find ourselves put to shame by those who have only just come to know Jesus. Saul was a good example of early enthusiasm. His amazing conversion on the road to Damascus changed him completely.

This is what happened just a few days after he was baptised: “At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.” (Acts 9 v 20). Then when he was persecuted there, he went to Jerusalem “speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.” (v 28). That caused him persecution in Jerusalem too.

Saul, as a believer, was only a few weeks old. As a week-old Christian, he was braver and more active in his service for Christ than I am. Compared to Paul, I feel more like a weak old Christian than I do with the passion of a week-old Christian shown in the life of Saul.

So here is something to aspire to today: Let us be re-invigorated with the passion of someone who has only just found Jesus. Let’s put aside our weak old Christian status and be strong and courageous like a week-old Christian.

May we be strong and courageous for our Lord this weekend.

With love in our Lord,
Robert

Thinky Things 3
Twenty-five years after Robert began writing Thinky Things, Volume 3 completes a thought for each day based on a Bible reading plan of three daily Bible readings, to read the whole Bible in a year. Robert’s selection of Thinky Things seem deceptively simple, yet are sure to challenge, stimulate, encourage and provoke everyone, from the casual Bible reader through to the more serious Bible student.
While each volume stands alone, collecting all three provides a complete companion to your year-long journey through the Bible.
This third collection of Thinky Things will continue to inspire as Robert draws out valuable and life-changing lessons from the word of God for everyone.
Let God’s word come alive—one reading, one thought, one day at a time.
Available in mid-November, God willing. Order yours now.
Thinky Days 2026 is jam packed with space to write your own favourite verses, prayers, questions, meditations, or even to-do lists with a full page for every day of the year – even Sundays! But there is so much more to a Thinky Days Diary than a blank page for each day. You will find:
