December 2023 – Page 4

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 over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday December 03RD 2023 – the 355TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	7	I Thank God [5TH week @ # 1]	Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship
2	2	16	Hallelujah Feeling	Caleb & John
3	5	14	Parking Lot	Cochren & Co.
4	4	17	Praise The Lord	Micah Tyler
5	3	20	Praise You Anywhere	Brandon Lake
6	6	6	Any More	Cain
7	7	4	I Believe	Phil Wickham
8	–	1	Grave Robber	Crowder
9	9	9	Firm Foundation (He Won’t)	Cody Carnes
10	10	6	Faithfully	TobyMac

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Ain’t Nobody” – Cody Carnes
2021 – “On Our Way” – MercyMe Ft. Sam Wesley
2020 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2019 – “Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp
2018 – “Even Then” – Micah Tyler
2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

COCHREN & CO. – Ascending into my Top 3 this week is the current hit from Michael Cochren and his band. Their 7TH hit since 2019 continues to gain momentum. It tells the story of the start of his salvation – on a Tuesday night – in a “Parking Lot”. On a personal note – it comes real close to telling the story of the start of my own salvation 17 years ago – on a 2-lane road – at dawn.

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.

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 X 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.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday December 03RD 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.

I’m in Homestead Florida for the 2ND Sunday in a row. I never left from last Sunday. But I’m leaving today – back up the road to Sebring Florida.

But first I have a church service to lead – starting with Praise & Worship and continuing with my Sermon – the 2ND of my Jude series – and our monthly observance and celebration of Communion. I’m looking forward to sharing the living and loving God I know with my closest brothers and sisters of my church family.

Today I’m preaching from Jude Verses 12 to 25. I have a lot to say about this Scripture:

“The Lord is coming … to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” These people are grumblers and complainers – living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want. (Jude 1:15-16 NLT)

My testimony is featured here each week on #SundayScripture whether it’s part of a sermon, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord, and get closer to Him with each new day.

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.
