Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday June 11TH 2023 – the 330TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

2	1	15	This Is Our God	Phil Wickham
3	3	11	Fingerprints	Dan Bremnes

# 1 This Week In:

2019 – “Born Again” – Austin French
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Live Like You’re Loved” – Hawk Nelson

MR. TOBYMAC & MR. ZACH WILLIAMS – They make a great duo. They sound wonderful together. They love God immensely. And now they’ve got – not just my new # 1 smash – but the new # 1 smash from coast-to-coast at U.S. Christian radio. It’s the 4TH # 1 smash on my chart for Toby – and 3RD for Zach. #Cornerstone

CHARTBUSTING – Sitting just outside of my Top 10 this week is the new one from David Leonard and Josh Baldwin. “Every Hour” is the follow-up to David’s “Good Lord” and Josh’s “There Is Freedom”. It’s a testimony as to why we need our Lord. He’s our fortress. He’s our hiding place. He’s our shelter where we’re safe. He’s freed us. He’s called us by name. He’s our Redeemer. He’s our saving grace.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – with a special #FlagDayWednesday – and the usuals – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

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. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

Be blessed my friends ! May our God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Sunday Scripture

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date June 11, 2023

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday June 11TH 2023, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

This week marks my 38TH Anniversary working for the USAF as an Airman and as a Civilian. It also marks my 28TH Anniversary of living in my current home in Homestead Florida. The end is near for both.

This morning I’m with my new church family in my new home of Sebring Florida. Incidentally my new church is Neighborhood Church. On my first Sunday morning there at the start of April – I met several former residents of Miami-Dade County in the front lobby. I felt like I belonged there !

And now on #SundayScripture it’s the continuation of the transcription of my sermon on “Paul & Titus” that I preached to my church family on March 05TH 2023. Here’s Part 7:

[CONTINUATION OF SERMON]

I like this diagram. It shows that The Father – is not The Son. And The Son – is not The Holy Spirit. And The Holy Spirit – is not The Father. But The Father – is God. And The Son – is God. And The Holy Spirit – is God.

So Paul is telling Titus that these are the things that must be taught to the believers of Crete. You know rulers and emperors and mythological gods – they were lifted-up and worshipped by many on Crete, and in Greece, and all around the region during that time – the first century. But only Christ was divine. And to this day – only the Father (Creator), the Son (Christ), and the Holy Spirit are God. There is no other !

Christ is coming back. But right now we have God within us. The Holy Spirit guides us to keep God’s covenant – to do good deeds. That’s faith and works.

You must teach these things and encourage the believers to do them. You have the authority to correct them when necessary, so don’t let anyone disregard what you say. (Titus 2:15)

Paul tells Titus to remind the believers of Christ that they should be obedient. They should always be ready to do what is good. They must not slander anyone. They must avoid arguing. They should be gentle. They should show true humility to everyone. (Titus 3:1-2)

And Paul continues:

Once – we too – were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. (Titus 3:3)

But – when God our Savior revealed His kindness and love – He saved us – not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins – giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of His grace – He made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)

Well there you go again Chris – preaching about repentance and salvation. You sound like a broken record. You keep preaching about it like it’s something important – like it’s some type of monumental life-changing event !

That’s right. I’m going there again – because the Bible went there again. And – I’m a big fan of proclaiming and teaching – preaching – from God’s Good News. You know repentance and salvation is one of my specialties. It’s one of my areas of expertise. I can talk about it up here. I can talk about it down there. I can talk about it out there. I can talk about it for the rest of the day and into the night and into tomorrow, but I only have about 10 more minutes up here before we walk out of here and go to Lunch.

[TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK]

If you wish to learn more about the God I know then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date June 8, 2023

Welcome back to #TravelThursday. I’ve got a new airport to travel to and from – #SRQ. It’s the closest airport to my new home in the Heartland of Florida – less than 80 miles away – in-between Sarasota and Bradenton – south of Tampa Bay. It’s a small but growing airport. It’s been around since World War 2. I’ve already got my first round-trip flight booked – non-stop between there and Dallas-Fort Worth (#DFW).

Over the past 35½ years of living and working in South Florida #MIA has been my main airport. I’ve also flown in and out of #FLL a few times. Those are two huge airports. I’m looking forward to the smaller and less-hectic airport in #SRQ. (It’s actually the 8TH busiest airport in Florida.)

Next #TravelThursday my friends and I are serving spaghetti in Sebring. Let’s keep traveling together.

Post date June 5, 2023

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday June 04TH 2023 – the 329TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	14	This Is Our God [3RD week @ # 1]	Phil Wickham
2	3	10	Cornerstone	TobyMac Ft. Zach Williams
3	2	10	Fingerprints	Dan Bremnes
4	5	27	I See Grace	Micah Tyler
5	4	20	The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)	Matt Maher
6	7	3	Fear Is Not My Future	Maverick City Music Ft. Brandon Lake & Chandler Moore
7	8	3	That’s The Thing About Praise	Benjamin William Hastings Ft. Blessing Offor
8	9	5	You Will Be Found	Natalie Grant Ft. Cory Asbury
9	10	2	Big God	Terrian
10	–	1	Yes I Am	Christian Paul

CHRISTIAN PAUL – I love a debut artist on my chart. Christian Paul is up next with his emerging summertime smash at U.S. Christian Radio with a sound that can be described as Pop meets Soul meets Gospel. His “Yes I Am” is lighting-up the radio airwaves.

K-LOVE FAN AWARDS 2023 – That was a great show on TBN this past Friday night. I declined to live-tweet during the show like I have in past years. I really wanted to simply sit on my new living room couch in my new home, relax, and enjoy the show without interruption. I got to do just that, and I was singing and dancing along. Brandon Lake had a very good night with his “Gratitude” towards God. You can check-out all of the winners here. 2 more encores of the show air this upcoming Friday night at 8 PM and 10 PM EDT on TBN, or anytime on the TBN app.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

Be blessed my friends ! May our God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
