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 March 03RD 2019:

“Red Letters” – Crowder [# 2 last week / 11TH week on chart]
“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [1 / 14TH]
“Best News Ever” – MercyMe [3 / 11TH]
“My Feet Are On The Rock” – I Am They [4 / 3RD]
“Confidence” – Sanctus Real [5 / 2ND]
“Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co. [6 / 2ND]
“Greatness Of Our God” – Newsboys [10 / 2ND]
“Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [7 / 18TH]
“Known” – Tauren Wells [8 / 30TH]
“Born Again” – Austin French [- / 1ST]

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

Crowder scores his 2ND # 1 smash on my chart. It’s his follow-up to “All My Hope” (# 5 in December 2017) and “Forgiven” (# 1 in May 2017). In just a couple of months I’ll be seeing Crowder LIVE in concert in Tampa. He’s supporting MercyMe.

Thank You God – for red letters
When the ground began to shake
The grace of God started falling
And I became a free man that day
The prison walls started falling
And I am a free man today

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.

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1989

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 1, 2019

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 05TH 1989:

“I Beg Your Pardon” – Kon Kan
“You Got It (The Right Stuff)” – New Kids On The Block
“Straight Up” – Paula Abdul
“She Wants To Dance With Me” – Rick Astley
“The Lover In Me” – Sheena Easton

GREAT music there. A young 21½-year-old version of me was dancing day and night to the hottest hits in the land. You can’t get more “club in 1989” than Kon Kan’s “I Beg Your Pardon”. That song still sounds awesome today – 30 years later.

Back in the day my local Top 40 radio station -Y-100 (Miami Florida) – used to “daypart” where they would play “adult-friendly” mainstream pop music during the work day, and then at the top of the 3 o’clock hour right after station identification they would let loose with a song on the radical fringe. Think “Sweet Child O’ Mine” (Guns N’ Roses), “Bad Medicine” (Bon Jovi), “My Prerogative” (Bobby Brown), “It Takes Two” (Rob Base & D.J. E-Z Rock), and “I Beg Your Pardon” (Kon Kan). Once any of those “radical” songs came on – you knew that the work day was almost through, and it was time to party en Miami !

But that was then, and this is now. I’ll return to the “now” – which is so much more greater than the “then” – this Sunday with Scripture, and this Monday with the soundtrack of my life during this first weekend of March of 2019. I think I’ll have a new # 1 smash on the new chart. Enjoy your weekend my friends !

My Top 10 Hits – Week 106

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]

“Known” – Tauren Wells [6 / 29TH]

“Greatness Of Our God” – Newsboys [- / 1ST]

# 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.

Bible Christian Church God Ministry Music Radio Scripture

Sunday Scripture

Post date February 24, 2019

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.
