The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 83

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 September 16TH 2018:

  1. “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns [# 8 last week / 3RD week on chart]
  2. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [2 / 20TH]
  3. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [1 / 8TH]
  4. “Known” – Tauren Wells [4 / 6TH]
  5. “Everything” – TobyMac [5 / 6TH]
  6. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [3 / 24TH]
  7. “Even Then” – Micah Tyler [9 / 5TH]
  8. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [10 / 11TH]
  9. “You Say” – Lauren Daigle [6 / 3RD]
  10. “Surrounded (Fight My Battles)” – Michael W. Smith [7 / 3RD]

The 83RD week of my chart brings my 26TH # 1 smash, as Casting Crowns skyrockets from # 8 to # 1 with their 2ND chart-topper. They were also my 5TH # 1 smash in May of 2017 with “Oh My Soul”. This past March “God Of All My Days” stalled at # 9.

Casting Crowns have been around for almost 20 years, but I’ve only known about them since the start of this current “Positive & Encouraging” era of my chart. I’ve gotten to know some of their great music over the past decade via K-LOVE. I’m a fan now !

Here’s the official lyric music video for “Only Jesus”. It is well done. Check it out:

 

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next weekend with all-new blogs 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 win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. And remember – Jesus is the only name to remember.

Sunday Scripture

Today at Living Waters our Lead Pastor Bob preached out of Exodus 3 on Moses and “The Burning Bush Mystery” (subtitled “The Making Of A Servant”). It was a sermon for the whole church body, but especially for his up-and-coming Associate Pastors. It was Good News and good advice for the future of my ministry.

Exodus 3-5

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2008

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 September 14TH 2008:

  1. “Sleeping In” – Nevertheless
  2. “Closer Than We Think” – The Classic Crime
  3. “All My Balloons” – Children 18:3
  4. “Shine With Me” – P.O.D.
  5. “This Is A Warning” – Dizmas

On this day 10 years ago it was a Sunday, and I wrote right here on this blog about the kickoff of our church’s 3-service schedule at 8:30, 9:45, and 11:00. “As it turns out all three services were solid as a rock and rather evenly distributed in attendance. Flagship Cinemas dreams of the number of people that we had in their building this morning during the regular work and school week.” (Our church met in our town’s movie theatre at the time, and I made light of the fact that our movie theatre was struggling. It still is, but it’s still in business showing first-run movies.)

Look what else this Christian of 2 years at the time wrote on his blog 10 years ago:

“God sees the whole picture. He is the only one who does. That is why He does things His way for His reasons in His own time. It is fine to question God at any time. In fact it is beneficial to do so. That is what a deeply-committed believer in Him does. It’s one who expresses questions for God and faith in Him simultaneously.”

That’s some Good News right there.

This weekend I’ll be mostly Bible-studying and sermon-writing. I’m writing two sermons simultaneously – one on James 4 and one on Genesis 4 – and I’m building a foundation for a 3RD sermon. May you have a weekend of fun, good times, and Good News. I’ll be back on Sunday with Scripture.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 82

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 September 09TH 2018:

  1. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [# 1 last week / 7TH week on chart]
  2. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [2 / 19TH]
  3. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [3 / 23RD]

On my calendar for Thursday December 13TH over in the Fort Myers Florida area is “Little Drummer Boy: The Christmas Tour” with for King & Country featuring Zach Williams. I gotta admit. I’m not that big of a fan of for King & Country music. You have not yet seen their current U.S. # 1 smash “Joy” here on my chart. I just don’t care for it musically. Nevertheless I bet they put on a wonderful LIVE show, and I want to see it. Zach Williams has already proved himself to me. I saw him last Christmas as part of a Christmas-themed music tour. He was awesome.

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next weekend with all-new blogs 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 win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. And remember to choose JOY !  Let it move you. Let it move you. Let it move you.
