“No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster

I’m a big concert-goer. I attended my very first concert about 3 weeks after my 19TH birthday in 1986 over in London England. (I lived in England at the time.) Ever since then I’ve been to over 100 concerts and other LIVE shows. I’ve got tickets to 3 concerts this May and June. I’m constantly checking-out the official web sites of various arenas and performance halls here in Florida (and Ticketmaster too) for upcoming shows (Christian and Secular) that would be awesome to see LIVE and in-person. 9 years ago tomorrow (March 26TH 2010) I saw TobyMac and Skillet for the first time. I’ve now seen both artists a total of 3 times. I’ll see them again too when they return to Florida.

WELCOME Sanctus Real to Florida. I can’t see you guys later this week in Oxford or New Port Richey, but I know that you will put on a great show that glorifies God, and lives will be saved. I hope to see you LIVE on your next swing through Florida.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 4 new entries 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 the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him. AMEN.

After 2 weeks off our Lead Pastor and our Praise & Worship Pastor returned back home to where they belong – up on stage and leading our church family in music and message.

Our Lead Pastor preached from the first-half of Ezekiel 37 with his sermon titled, “Can These Dry Bones Live ?” The answer is “YES !”

For most of us who are born again God rescued us when we were at our lowest of low points of our life. He rescued us from the valley floor.

He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. (Psalm 40:2 NLT)

We were dead because of our sins, but God did not leave us in the pit. He lifted us out. He gave us life by His Spirit. He transformed us into a new creation. He gave us a purpose for a new life. We didn’t deserve any of that. But God chose us. He gave us grace and mercy.

This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “Look ! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again ! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.” (Ezekiel 37:5-6 NLT)

It was a great message from our Lead Pastor. I appreciate his sermons from the Old Testament. I plan to spend more time reading and studying the Old Testament. Most of my sermons over the past 2½ years have been based on the New Testament. (It’s what I “grew up with” during my years as a baby Christian.) My next sermon that I’ll preach is titled “Gloom & Despair”, and it’s based on Psalms 34, 40, and 150. My next sermon after that (which I’m currently writing) is tentatively titled “Pray & Believe”, and it’ll be all about the power of prayer. For my next sermon after that I’m studying The Book Of Jeremiah. There’s 52 chapters there, so I need to narrow it down to the one (or portion of one) that I hope to share with my church family in a 35 to 45-minute message.

One of my favorite Twitter accounts to follow is @TheMajestysMen. There’s Good News posted there every day. This morning the following was tweeted, and I ended-up sharing it with my church family:

Read more than you write.
Listen more than you speak.
Pray more than you preach.
Compliment more than you correct.

I followed that up with Proverbs 16:24 – Kind words are like honey – sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

“No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster

Welcome back Elevation Worship to my chart, and welcome to Miami ! You guys are performing LIVE in concert tonight on Miami Beach, and I unfortunately won’t be there. It’s a work night for me, and frankly I can’t deal with the heavy traffic between my home and Miami Beach – especially during Spring Break. You guys will be around for a long time, so I know that there will be future opportunities to see you perform LIVE. Have a great show. Glorify God. Save lives tonight !

Sanctus Real have the new # 1 smash on my chart this week with their long-running single “Confidence”. This chart is truly influenced by radio airplay. This song has been playing on the radio for almost 13 months now. It even crossed-over to mainstream rock stations where it was a Top 20 hit nationwide. But K-LOVE just started playing it a month ago, and as soon as they did so – I loved it. I hum and sing it long after I hear it on the radio. I love these lyrics:

So give me faith like Daniel – in the lion’s den
Give me hope like Moses – in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David – Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence

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

As I begin my 5TH year with my current church family I’m reminded yet again why I love everyone so very much.

Praise & Worship

We had a beautiful, encouraging, and inspirational church service today – even with more than a dozen out and about on this pseudo-holiday (Saint Patrick’s Day). Everyone returns home safely and securely next week, and we will celebrate as we always do each and every Sunday morning starting at 11.

Today we were introduced to several new songs during Praise & Worship, and then we were in for a treat. Pastor Terry led the message, and she went “old school” by delivering God’s Truth entirely from the Old Testament – 1 Samuel 30 (all 31 verses), Psalm 107, Job 42:10-17, and Judges 11:10. Her sermon was titled “Recovering Losses”, and she told the story of how (future King) David and his men recovered their losses in a holy war against the Amalekites (enemies of the Israelites). She related it to the present-day, and how we can recover our losses through the guidance and direction of our Lord & Healer Jesus Christ.

“LORD – help !” they cried in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. (Psalm 107:6 & 13 & 19 & 28 NLT)

My friends – I am living proof of God’s glorious miracles. I have personally experienced 12½ years of miracles since salvation started for me. If you’re a believer and a follower of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ then you know what I’m talking about. If you are not yet a believer and a follower (or if you’re unsure) then it’s not too late. Our God is a powerful God. He wants you to come to Him. You don’t have to go far at all. He will meet you right where you are. You just need to reach out to Him into His arms wide open. He wants to take you on a fantastic journey. Go with Him. Follow Him. Trust Him. He’s got an abundance of miracles with your name on it. He’s got a church family waiting for you to join them in His eternal celebration.
