GOD DID IT – Micah Tyler’s former # 1 smash reaches my Top 40 of this era. It’s 1 of my 40 biggest songs over the past 451 weeks. In fact it’s # 35. It’s also – spoiler alert – my current # 1 smash of the entire year thus far !

ONE-HIT WONDER – Lincoln Brewster had one hit on my chart from January to April of 2018, and it was a big one. It spent 16 weeks in my Top 10, 9 weeks in my Top 3, and 4 weeks at # 1. It was my # 8 hit of 2018. Lincoln proclaims that there is “No One Like Our God”.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays). You can link to it here.

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. God used loud music on the radio in South Florida to reach me in August of 2006. I’ve been testifying about Him ever since.

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.

Sunday Scripture

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date October 5, 2025

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday October 05TH 2025, 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.

This is the 380TH edition of #SundayScripture since its debut on the final Sunday of February of 2018. Once I start something online, and it’s fun to do, and it’s successful – I keep it going. I always look forward to writing each new edition, and usually (when I’m not presenting a portion of a sermon) I have no idea what I plan to write until I actually write it. I allow The Holy Spirit to guide and direct me.

This weekly blog post is an integral part of my fantastic journey in my Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. It’s my way of evangelizing to the masses worldwide – to anyone who cares to read. I pray that it changes lives for the better.

It was a rare Sunday last week, as I missed church in-person. But I got to watch our Sunday morning service LIVE on YouTube from Wichita Falls Texas. Our Pastor concluded his “This Is My Story” message series. It was a great series all about sharing our story with our church family, so that we can go and tell our story outside of the church – to our family and friends who do not yet know the God that we believe, follow, trust, and love.

This morning I’m back with my church family in-person. Our Senior Pastor begins a new message series on the letter of James. I’m definitely looking forward to that, as it was my longest-running message series. I preached 10 sermons from James scattered over a 13-month period from February 2018 to March 2019. It was also the very first book of the Bible that I studied with a weekly small group during my first year as part of a church family in 2007.

Next Sunday morning we’ll celebrate Pastor Appreciation Day with a special potluck breakfast. I’ll also be leading Communion with a theme of worship. I’m looking forward to sharing it !

So that’s what’s going on here locally. I appreciate each and every one of you who read this blog globally.

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, 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.

Yom Kippur

The Day of Atonement

Then the LORD said to Moses – “Be careful to celebrate the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of that same month – nine days after the Festival of Trumpets. You must observe it as an official day for holy assembly – a day to deny yourselves, and present special gifts to the LORD. Do no work during that entire day because it is the Day of Atonement – when offerings of purification are made for you – making you right with the LORD your God. All who do not deny themselves that day will be cut off from God’s people. And I will destroy anyone among you who does any work on that day. You must not do any work at all ! This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation wherever you live. This will be a Sabbath day of complete rest for you, and on that day you must deny yourselves. This day of rest will begin at sundown on the ninth day of the month and extend until sundown on the tenth day.” (Leviticus 23:26-32 NLT)

My Top 10 Hits – Week 450

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 almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday September 28TH 2025 – the 450TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	16	Breakdown [5TH week @ # 1]	Andrew Ripp
2	2	15	What An Awesome God	Phil Wickham
3	3	4	I’ve Just Seen Too Much	Big Daddy Weave
4	4	8	Preach	Ryan Stevenson Ft. Matt Hammitt
5	7	9	Can’t Steal My Joy	Josiah Queen X Brandon Lake

8	8	4	Still	Crowder
9	9	7	Let The Church Sing	Tauren Wells
10	10	2	Get Behind Me	Emerson Day

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Up + Up” – Colton Dixon
2023 – “Praise You Anywhere” – Brandon Lake
2022 – “Good Morning Mercy” – Jason Crabb
2021 – “Into The Wild” – Josh Baldwin
2020 – “God So Loved” – We The Kingdom
2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

JOSIAH QUEEN – His 3RD hit on my chart is now his 3RD Top 5 hit, as “Can’t Steal My Joy” continues its slow ascent. You may think that it’s a quick breakout smash for Josiah and Brandon Lake, but the song has been around all year. It was actually released as a single way back during the early part of January, and some Christian CHR (contemporary hit radio) stations have actually been playing it ever since the start. It’s currently # 2 nationally, and it’ll likely reach # 1 next week. And there’s a possibility that it could reach the top of my chart either next week or soon after.

ONE-HIT WONDER – 7eventh Time Down from Mount Vernon Kentucky have been rockin’ together for Christ for 21 years. You may know them for “Just Say Jesus” in 2013, or perhaps “God Is On The Move” from 2015 into 2016. But it was a late-2017 / early-2018 hit that reached # 2 on my chart for 4 weeks in a row and spent 16 weeks overall. That was “Only King Forever”, and it was the first and only time that they appeared on my chart.

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.
