Month: March 2019

Sunday Scripture

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 10, 2019

Today on this first morning of Daylight Saving Time – historically the worst-attended Sunday morning church service of the year – we actually had a nice turnout today. Following 5 songs of Praise & Worship and Happy Birthday greetings to two of our own I led today’s message with a full sermon.

My sermon was titled “Present & Future”, and it was all about God’s plans versus our own plans. It was my 11TH and final sermon from my very first message series that started 13 months ago on the Book of James. (I usually preach once per month.) Now that I’ve finally wrapped-up a full message series I plan to start the next one immediately lasting the next two years !

Just kidding. That message series was grueling. God got me through it. God led me all the way. He showed me The Way through 5 chapters and 108 verses – about half of them God’s commands or obligations.

My next group of sermons (one already written) will come from all throughout the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs with a little bit of Old Testament included as well.

From today’s sermon:

If you think you are too important to help someone – you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. (Galatians 6:3 NLT)

Carry each other’s burdens. If your neighbor is struggling – then lend him or her a helping hand. If he or she is suffering – then comfort him or her. If he or she is joyful – then celebrate alongside him or her. That’s how you love your neighbor as yourself. That’s how you fulfill the law of Christ. That’s how you disciple. That’s what we must do in the present in order to secure an eternal future with God.

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2009

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 8, 2019

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 08TH 2009:

“Surrender Saved My Life” – This Beautiful Republic
“Dead Man” – We As Human
“Cross My Heart” – Nevertheless
“Let’s Dance” – Hawk Nelson
“The Last, The Lost, The Least” – Relient K

Nevertheless – what an awesome band that I grew up with as a baby Christian. They were very prominent on Christian radio, and as a result – the soundtrack of my life during those early years discovering and exploring who Jesus Christ was, is, and will be.

Nevertheless charted with 5 radio singles back then – “The Real” (peaked at # 24 in 2006), “Live Like We’re Alive” (# 2 for 4 weeks in 2007), “Time (To Let This Go)” (# 5 in 2007), “Sleeping In” (# 1 for 3 weeks in 2008), and “Cross My Heart” (# 3 in 2009). Hearing some of those early songs a dozen years later gives me goosebumps, and reminds me of just how far I’ve come since I first stumbled onto this fantastic journey.

Music has played an important role in my life of nearly 52 years. At the age of 39 God used music to lift me out of the slimy pit – out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock – and gave me a firm place to stand. That’s why I share God’s Good News through His music.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with two more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Share the Good News with all who will listen.

Me & My Nieces

Happy Thursday my friends ! Let’s kickoff a fresh new weekend of blogging.

Chris – We don’t see enough pictures of you on your own blog !

That’s true, and you won’t find many pictures of me on my Flickr either because all of those photos are marked as private along with all photos of my family (immediate and extended).

Every so often I’ll tweet a photo of me. I’ve never been able to perfect the “selfie”, so any photo of me was taken by someone else.

So here’s a rare online photo of me and my nieces. This was taken last April (2018) here in South Florida in front of the Miami Seaquarium before we entered the park for a day of fun with the aquatic animals. I absolutely love this photo. It’s one of the best ones of me recently, and my nieces are extra lovable and huggable in it. That’s “Petite” next to me. She was almost 5 then. Next to her is “Tiny”. She had just turned 8 then. Oh yeah – and I was almost 51. We look good !

Chris, Peyton, & Taylor

“Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha Cobbs Leonard

Crowder scores his 2ND # 1 smash on my chart. It’s his follow-up to “All My Hope” (# 5 in December 2017) and “Forgiven” (# 1 in May 2017). In just a couple of months I’ll be seeing Crowder LIVE in concert in Tampa. He’s supporting MercyMe.

Thank You God – for red letters
When the ground began to shake
The grace of God started falling
And I became a free man that day
The prison walls started falling
And I am a free man today

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 4 blog posts on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to share God’s Good News and win souls for Christ through His music. Enjoy this week my friends. I’m on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m also the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL. May God bless you – always and forever. Amen.
