The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2008

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date June 1, 2018

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday June 01ST 2008:

Addicted – P.O.D.
Fading Away – Demon Hunter
Last Regret – Seventh Day Slumber
Anything You Say – Deas Vail
This Is Home – Switchfoot

I can’t believe that was a full decade ago this weekend. I remember hearing those songs on the radio at the time in heavy rotation, and cranking them up at home and in my car, and rockin’ out to them. I was on the verge of 41 years old, but I was still a kid on this fantastic journey – just a little over 21 months after the start of salvation. I was still in such a euphoric state for Christ.

I would eventually come out of that euphoria. There’s about a 3 to 5 year stretch of my fantastic journey where I was still moving forward towards Christ, but it was at a much slower and insignificant pace. I never quite fell into the ditches of darkness along both sides of the winding and curving journey, but I came close, and I was certainly more vulnerable to do so than I was in the beginning. You never want to get comfortable on this journey (like I did) – because when you do the enemy and his followers of the world will strike with a vengeance.

A little over 3 years ago I made drastic changes in my daily spiritual life. I had to close some doors so that God could lead me to some open doors that were waiting for me with new opportunities. I’m enjoying a renaissance now, and I’m back to moving forward at a steady march towards God with a definite purpose.

This blog – established in 2007 – began fading away in 2010 – just as my fantastic journey was losing steam. It completely ceased and went dormant in 2012. I resurrected it at the start of this year. It’s now the cornerstone of my online ministry to win souls for Christ. If you’re reading this – then you’re part of my online church family. You are a brother or a sister in Christ. Let’s walk together. Let’s expand God’s Kingdom together.

If you’re not yet a believer and a follower of Christ – then that’s OK. Walk with me. Read my blogs when I post them. I’d like to share with you what I know to be The Truth. I’d like to share some Good News with you.

I’ll be back on Sunday with Scripture, and then on Monday it’s my brand new Top 10 music chart.

Enjoy this weekend my brothers and sisters. Be safe. Have fun. Love all. Live life.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 67

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date May 28, 2018

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday May 27TH 2018:

“The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett [# 1 last week / 4TH week on chart]
“Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [2 / 4TH]
“All In” – Matthew West [6 / 4TH]
“The Answer” – Jeremy Camp [7 / 2ND]
“Grace Got You” – MercyMe [4 / 8TH]
“No Matter What” – Ryan Stevenson Ft. Bart Millard [5 / 8TH]
“What A Friend” – Matt Maher [3 / 10TH]
“Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin [8 / 16TH]
“More Than Anything” – Natalie Grant [10 / 2ND]
“Reckless Love” – Cory Asbury [- / 4TH]

Cory Asbury’s got the # 1 spot again this week on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart, and this week he reenters my chart at # 10 with “Reckless Love” – a song that spent just 3 weeks on my chart a couple of months ago. Like I stated last week – sometimes it takes weeks and months for a popular radio song to grow on me. I’m starting to hum this one offline, so it’s finally grown on me.

SPOILER: “Reckless Love” won the 2018 K-LOVE Fan Award for Worship Song Of The Year. (I actually didn’t vote for it.) It also won for “Breakout Single”. (Again I voted for another one.) This Thursday night at 8 PM EDT / 5 PM PDT I’ll be watching the K-LOVE Fan Awards on TBN. Last year I paid $17 to see them in a large movie theatre, and that movie theatre was packed-out. It was an awesome experience. This year I’ll be live-tweeting from my living room during the awards telecast @ChrisMDay with the hashtag #KLOVEFanAwards. You can follow along on Twitter, or via the web site edition of this blog. My Twitter feed appears along the right-side column. Tweet back at me if you wish.

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll do it again this upcoming 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 win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. Love thy neighbor.

Bible Christian God Ministry Scripture

Sunday Scripture

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date May 27, 2018

Last night I officially completed my next sermon titled “Faith & Works”. It’s a continuation of my message series (started in February) based on the Book Of James. In this sermon I cover the 2ND half of James Chapter 2. I compare Paul and James, and how they viewed faith and works from different angles. I also include Scripture from Chapter 5 of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. The Book Of James and The Epistle To The Galatians were probably the first 2 books written chronologically in the New Testament – right around 50 A.D.

Paul describes meeting James for the first time in his letter to the Galatians. Paul called James – and Peter – and John – as “pillars of the church”. They collectively accepted Paul – the new guy – as a co-worker. They suggested that Paul should continue helping the poor while preaching the Gospel to the Gentiles.

I also introduced John The Baptist, or John The Baptizer in my sermon. He was a Preacher, a Prophet, and even a Saint. He preached all about the importance of baptisms. He baptized thousands along both sides of the Jordan River – including Jesus Christ Himself. That started Christ’s ministry. Matthew 3:13-17 describes that critical event.

John The Baptist preached, “Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.” (Luke 3:8 NLT)

My sermon leads-in perfectly to my Communion based on the first 10 verses of Chapter 2 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians (“Made Alive With Christ”).

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)

I’m looking forward to sharing this soon with my church family !

Go forth and share God’s Good News to all who will listen. Go forth and live your fantastic journey for all to see. Go forth and love God and all His children.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 66

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date May 21, 2018

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday May 20TH 2018:

“The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett [# 1 last week / 3RD week on chart]
“Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [2 / 3RD]
“What A Friend” – Matt Maher [3 / 9TH]
“Grace Got You” – MercyMe [4 / 7TH]
“No Matter What” – Ryan Stevenson Ft. Bart Millard [5 / 7TH]
“All In” – Matthew West [6 / 3RD]
“The Answer” – Jeremy Camp [- / 1ST]
“Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin [9 / 15TH]
“I Just Need U.” – TobyMac [7 / 9TH]
“More Than Anything” – Natalie Grant [- / 1ST]

There’s no change this week to my Top 6, as all of the action starts at # 7. Jeremy Camp follows-up his # 1 smash “Word Of Life” with “The Answer”. A little more than 2 months after my salvation began in 2006 Jeremy was part of the rockin’ soundtrack of the earliest days of my fantastic journey with his track “Tonight”. It peaked at # 18 on my chart back then.

Chris Tomlin’s “Resurrection Power” appears to have just that. It actually rises back up a notch after spending the past 6 weeks in a row stalled at # 9. It’s by far the longest-running smash on my chart in its 15TH week.

Finally Natalie Grant’s “More Than Anything” enters my chart at # 10. If I produced a Top 20 or Top 25 chart every week it would’ve been on my chart for a few months by now. It’s been lurking beyond the Top 10 since pretty much the start of 2018. It’s currently in its 19TH week on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart. Sometimes I hear a new song on the radio, and it’s an instant out-of-the-box smash. (See this week’s Top 2.) Sometimes it takes a new song on the radio a few weeks or even a few months to grow on me to the point where I end up humming it over and over again. That’s what I’m finally doing now with “More Than Anything”; therefore, it’s made it into my Top 10 !
