Welcome to the start of Year 4 of this current K-LOVE era of my weekly hit music chart. I discovered the existence of K-LOVE in a hotel room in Bartow Florida on Presidents’ Day of 2017. I was returning southward down the peninsular spine of Florida after having been at the TobyMac concert in Tallahassee the night before. I was actually praying to God in my hotel room for a Christian pop station back home in South Florida after listening to WAY-FM and The JOY-FM in North and Central Florida. Well God delivered that miracle immediately.

I quickly discovered that there was already a Christian pop station in South Florida by the name of K-LOVE, and here’s the kicker – its 1,000-foot+ transmitter was broadcasting it at the U.S. maximum power of 100,000 watts just 5 miles away from my home !  The next morning once I got within about 100 miles of that transmitter and my home – I heard K-LOVE for the first time. And here we are 3 years later.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) here on #CountUp I’ll present a special cumulative Top 20 chart – my Top 20 hits of the past 3 years.

Greetings my friends. I’m back for another 3 blog posts today, tomorrow, and Tuesday. It’s a 5-blog post weekend for this U.S. holiday weekend – Presidents’ Day Weekend here stateside.

In just a couple of weeks I’ll be praising, worshiping, and celebrating our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ with 5,000+ fellow pastors, preachers, ministers, and disciples of Christ up in Orlando at Exponential. We’ll come together in unison to be encouraged, trained, and equipped to make a Kingdom impact. I was part of Exponential 2008 less than 2 years after the start of my salvation, and it changed my fantastic journey forever. I haven’t been back since, so this upcoming conference has been 12 years in the making !

Today at Living Waters (my local church body) we came together for a morning of worship. Our Lead Pastor continued his “Noah” message series, and he reminded us that faith (unmerited favor) comes from grace. Without God’s grace – there is no faith. God gave us the gift of grace, and we are saved by grace, but He does not want us to keep that grace to ourselves. He wants us to extend that grace to others.

Ephesians 2-8-9

God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this – it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT)

Extend God’s grace to others. Pray for others. Share the God you know with others. It could change their lives forever.

There may be someone you know who is waiting for you to introduce them to your Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. What are you waiting on ?  Go forth !

My Top 10 Hits – Week 156

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday February 09TH 2020:

  1. “The God Who Stays” – Matthew West [# 2 last week / 12TH week on chart]
  2. “Rescue Story” – Zach Williams [1 / 18TH]
  3. “Waymaker” – Michael W. Smith Ft. Vanessa Campagna [4 / 3RD]
  4. “Almost Home” – MercyMe [3 / 8TH]
  5. “Your Name Is Power” – Rend Collective [5 / 5TH]
  6. “Like You Love Me” – Tauren Wells [7 / 4TH]
  7. “One Day” – Cochren & Co. [9 / 3RD]
  8. “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters [8 / 3RD]
  9. “See A Victory” – Elevation Worship [- / 1ST]
  10. “Let The Redeemed” – Josh Baldwin [10 / 2ND]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha Cobbs Leonard

Matthew West scores his 2ND # 1 smash as a solo artist on my chart and 3RD including his part as a featured player with Casting Crowns in “Nobody (But Jesus)”. “The God Who Stays” is my 45TH # 1 smash. The one song from Matthew West that didn’t hit # 1 – hit # 2 (“All In”). I’m looking forward to seeing Casting Crowns and Matthew West LIVE in concert – at the same concert in April. Matthew opens for Casting Crowns, and then he obviously closes with them to perform “Nobody (But Jesus)”. I’ve never seen Matthew before in concert.

And with this week’s chart I conclude 3 years – 156 weeks – in this current era. Next weekend I’ll celebrate the 3RD anniversary of the resurrection of this chart and my 3RD anniversary as a listener and supporter of K-LOVE. The 4TH year begins with an all-new Top 10 chart on Monday as well as a special cumulative Top 20 chart on Tuesday – my Top 20 hits of the past 3 years !

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – with 5 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday, and YES – Tuesday. 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. I’m also on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL.

Enjoy this new week my friends !  May the God of hope fill you completely with joy and peace as you trust in Him.

Luke 17-20-21

The Kingdom of God is already among you. It is in your grasp. Jesus Christ was revealing the Kingdom of God through His ministry – through His words – through His actions. The Kingdom of God is within us – for those who believe in Creator, Christ, and Spirit as One.
