Sunday Scripture

Many of my sermons … OK – most of my sermons – have to do with repentance and salvation. A lot of pastors are accused of preaching a narrow cross-section of the Bible, and not the entire Bible. There are prosperity preachers, and doom-and-gloom preachers, and Old Testament-only preachers, and New Testament-only preachers, and preachers who never mention Satan, and preachers who don’t even use the Bible for their sermons. Some preachers scream to get their message across – while other preachers are soft-spoken. Some rely on bells and whistles to appeal to a younger crowd.

I consider the Reverend Billy Graham to be my TV Pastor. I met him while he was in his mid-90s – not in-person – but on television for the first time. I started watching 30-minute editions of his crusades from the late-1960s through the mid-1990s on TBN just a few years ago. I had never seen them before, but I’d been told that my sermons were very Billy Graham-like. Not knowing what to think I did some research, and I started checking him out. I concur. He was one of the greatest preachers of all-time. Millions were rescued and saved by our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ because of the Good News that Reverend Graham brought to the masses. I like his style, as he also preaches mostly about repentance and salvation.

Today our Lead Pastor Bob preached an amazing sermon on salvation using Luke 19:1-10 as the centerpiece of his sermon. I followed that up by leading our church body in Communion with Scripture on salvation from Acts 26:13-18. Neither one of us knew what the other would preach on today, but we flowed right in to each other. God’s Glory was at work today at Living Waters.

Next Sunday I’ll be preaching a full sermon. The title of my sermon is “Present & Future”, and it’s about repentance and salvation. See that’s my specialty. I can preach on repentance and salvation eternally. I have 12 years and 6 months (150 months) of first-hand experience in this area. I preach what I know.

Here’s an excerpt from my sermon for next Sunday:

The Bible says it’s getting late. Time is running out. Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost over. The day of salvation will soon be here. (Romans 13:11-12)

You see we were saved. Past-tense. Salvation began. For me it began during the 3RD week of August of 2006. Salvation continues. Present-tense. It’s ongoing. And salvation will come again. Future-tense. We will be saved when we are victorious over sin and death when Jesus – our Lord and Savior – returns in glory !

He is our Judge. On that day of judgment – He alone – our Judge – who gave the law – has the power to save and to destroy. Many will be destroyed. Some will be saved. I want to be saved again. I want each of you to be saved again. I want my whole family to be saved. I believe we will all be saved.

Every Monday night 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 24TH 2019:

“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [# 1 last week / 13TH week on chart]
“Red Letters” – Crowder [3 / 10TH]
“Best News Ever” – MercyMe [2 / 10TH]
“My Feet Are On The Rock” – I Am They [8 / 2ND]

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

It’s a very active chart week with only one non-mover – the # 1 smash (my favorite song) for the 3RD week in a row. It was awesome watching We Are Messengers perform it LIVE right in front of me this past Friday night.

Sanctus Real shoot straight-in to my chart at # 5. It’s the highest new entry in nearly 11 months, and it arrives exactly a year to the day that it was released as a single. K-LOVE is starting to playing it now, and I love it. (Better late than never.) This is their 2ND hit on my chart. They previously peaked at # 5 way back in August 2008 during the “Salvation Era” of my chart with “Turn On The Lights”.

Debuting at # 6 this week is a song I really love, and I have a feeling that this will soon be # 1 for a long time. This past week I tweeted the chorus of the song, and I tagged K-LOVE. They responded positively. They thanked me for sharing the lyrics. Hopefully they continue to play it every day. Check out this lyric video, and crank up the volume – loud and proud. Sing along !

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.

This past Friday night I was part of an enormous church family for nearly 5 hours – from the time that we were strangers in line entering the BB&T Center in Sunrise Florida – to the time that we were singing songs together out of the arena and into the sprawling parking lot after 10:30 PM.

Aaron Cole, We Are Messengers, Jordan Feliz, Ryan Stevenson, Jeremy Camp, TobyMac, and their respective bands led “Praise & Worship” with their performances for God for the better part of 4 hours, and the near sellout crowd (all the way up to the rafters) was in it for Jesus – singing and clapping and dancing and waving their smart phone flashlights in the air in unison. It was a miraculous night of celebration for our Lord.

I enjoyed all of the artists – particularly We Are Messengers, Jeremy Camp, and of course my homeboy from Fairfax County Virginia – TobyMac. Toby is still gettin’ it done at 54. I’ve been listening to both Toby and Jeremy since pretty much the start of my salvation in 2006.

This church family that I speak of comprised of many different colors, races, nationalities, and ages. Every demographic was represented. That’s what Heaven will look like. There were babies, kids, teens, young adults, parents, and grandparents there. But we were all brothers and sisters on that night.

Most of us in attendance were believers and followers of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – God’s children – and for those in attendance who were not – they were likely invited and brought in by their friends and loved ones who were. I believe that many of those non-believers and non-followers at the start of the show were saved by Christ sometime during the show. Salvation was born for many of them. God’s miracles abound. That’s how God The Holy Spirit works, and He is always at work – even at a rock concert.

If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you receive an invitation to attend a Christian rock concert by a friend or a loved one – accept it – and go – with an open mind and an open heart. Let me tell you something, and I’m speaking from personal experience here. That rock concert that you say “YES !” to – can change your life forever. God used His music to rescue me and save me exactly 12 years and 6 months ago (this past week). I was 39 at the time. You’re not too old to begin a new journey in your life. It will truly be a fantastic journey that you can’t possibly imagine !

But why wait until the next concert ? Google any one of those artists. Look them up on YouTube. Tune-in to K-LOVE or The Message on SiriusXM. Listen to their music. Hear their words. Absorb God’s Good News for you.

From the 40TH Psalm (1-3):

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry. 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. He has given me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done, and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 105

Every Monday night 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 17TH 2019:

“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [# 1 last week / 12TH week on chart]
“Best News Ever” – MercyMe [2 / 9TH]
“Red Letters” – Crowder [4 / 9TH]
“Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [3 / 16TH]

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

This week marks the 2ND anniversary of the start of the 3RD era of my hit music chart. The original era lasted not quite 7 years (1985-1992), and the 2ND era was alive for a little over 14 years (1995-2010). After an over 7-year hiatus I quietly resurrected my chart with a single song – TobyMac‘s “Love Broke Thru”. It was the # 1 and only song that week exactly 2 years ago.

That (Sunday) night 2 years ago I saw TobyMac (and friends) LIVE in concert in Tallahassee Florida. This Friday night I’ll be seeing TobyMac (and friends) LIVE in concert again – here in South Florida. Toby’s friends this time around will be Jeremy Camp, Jordan Feliz, Ryan Stevenson, We Are Messengers, and Aaron Cole. I am so looking forward to this show. I’ve got a great seat on the floor just 8 rows from the stage. Needless to say I probably won’t be seated for very long. I’ll be singing and dancing in Row H.

The day after that TobyMac concert two years ago is the day (Presidents’ Day) that I discovered that K-LOVE is a national over-the-air radio network with a station back home in South Florida. The next day (Tuesday) I headed home, and about 100 miles from home I tuned-in to K-LOVE for the first time ever. I’ve been listening ever since then. It’s great that their signal comes from a 100,000 watt / 1,000-foot transmitter that’s just 5 miles from my home. (I can actually see it from my home.)

That one-song chart exactly two years ago became a Top 3 the following week, a Top 5 the week after that, and a Top 10 in its 4TH week. This 3RD era of my hit music chart is known by me as the “K-LOVE Era”.

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.
