The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 74

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 July 15TH 2018:

  1. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [# 2 last week / 15TH week on chart]
  2. “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson [3 / 7TH]
  3. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [1 / 11TH]
  4. “All In” – Matthew West [4 / 11TH]
  5. “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett [5 / 11TH]
  6. “Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin [6 / 23RD]
  7. “Good News” – Mandisa [7 / 4TH]
  8. “Living Hope” – Phil Wickham [9 / 2ND]
  9. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [10 / 2ND]
  10. “The Breakup Song” – Francesca Battistelli [- / 1ST]

MercyMe scores their 2ND consecutive # 1 smash here on my chart with “Grace Got You”. It’s their follow-up to last year’s “Even If” which spent 2 weeks at # 1 at the end of April of 2017. At 15 weeks it’s also the slowest song to reach # 1 during this current era of this chart – beating out Chris Tomlin’s “Home” which reached # 1 in its 14TH week on this chart a little over a year ago.

“Grace Got You” is quite the catchy up-tempo tune that will encourage you to hum, hope, sing, glide, dance, laugh, and smile.

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. The “Good News” is that I’m “All In”, so I’ll be back to “Do It Again” 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.

Sunday Scripture

Our words must reflect what God has placed on our heart. It must reflect the Holy Spirit. It must reflect the fruits of the Holy Spirit. You know – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23). If you’re spouting off at the mouth – like an erupting volcano – then are you really reflecting any of those fruits at all ?

When we carry anger on our heart – when we slander others with our words – we are sinning against God The Holy Spirit. See God didn’t place anger on our heart. The enemy did that. The world did that. Anger is the complete opposite of love, and joy, and peace, and patience, and kindness, and goodness, and faithfulness, and gentleness, and self-control. Those the are fruits of The Holy Spirit. Those are the fruits that you can only have on your heart once God rescues and saves you.

Paul to the Ephesians (4:23-24) – … let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature – created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

God has identified us as His own. He chose you. He chose me. And He’s given us the Holy Spirit that gives us the power that we need to live the way He wants us to live – and to say the things He wants us to say. If we listen to the Holy Spirit, and if we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us – then we will want to obey God. We will seek God’s Glory – above our own.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 73

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 July 08TH 2018:

  1. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [# 1 last week / 10TH week on chart]
  2. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [2 / 14TH]
  3. “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson [3 / 6TH]
  4. “All In” – Matthew West [4 / 10TH]
  5. “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett [5 / 10TH]
  6. “Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin [6 / 22ND]
  7. “Good News” – Mandisa [9 / 3RD]
  8. “Counting Every Blessing” – Rend Collective [10 / 4TH]
  9. “Living Hope” – Phil Wickham [- / 1ST]
  10. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [- / 1ST]

It’s the 73RD week of the 3RD-life of this personal weekly hit music chart, and we have two debut artists entering as the 75TH and 76TH hits since the 1ST week.

Phil Wickham’s “Living Hope” enters at # 9. It’s been growing on me for a few weeks now. With sufficient radio airplay on K-LOVE it has the potential of being a long-running smash.

Phil’s biggest hit was the # 1 smash “This Is Amazing Grace” which graced the radio airwaves from the Summer of 2013 straight-through much of 2014. It’s a song that my church family sings out loud and proud on many Sunday mornings during Praise & Worship. Here’s the official music video for that classic:

Greetings Church Family. I have returned home from vacation at beautiful Niagara Falls Ontario Canada. It was a first-time visit for me, and it was only my second-time ever to Canada. (I visited Windsor for a few hours about 13 years ago.)

The Falls were spectacular to see, hear, feel, and experience up-close. The rides and walks through the endless mist were refreshing in the Canadian heatwave (mid-to-upper 90s Fahrenheit / mid-30s Celsius).

“O Sovereign LORD !  You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you !  (Jeremiah 32:17 NLT)

Me, my brother, and his wife stayed within walking distance of Clifton Hill – the shopping and entertainment tourist district of Niagara Falls. It was a lot of fun for a couple of days, but it’s always great to return back home again – where I belong.

Tomorrow night at a local church revival I’m preaching a sermon titled “Accepted & Anointed”. That’s what we all are on this fantastic journey towards God’s bright light. If we believe that fully – then we can change the world with our works – using our strong hands and our powerful arms.
