My Top 10 Hits – Week 148

Every Monday 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 December 15TH 2019:

  1. “Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [# 1 last week / 22ND week on chart]
  2. “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West [2 / 20TH]
  3. “Unstoppable God” – Sanctus Real [6 / 6TH]
  4. “Holy Water” – We The Kingdom [9 / 3RD]
  5. “Believer” – Rhett Walker [4 / 5TH]
  6. “Faith” – Jordan Feliz [3 / 10TH]
  7. “The God Who Stays” – Matthew West [5 / 4TH]
  8. “Rescue Story” – Zach Williams [8 / 10TH]
  9. “Smile” – Sidewalk Prophets [10 / 2ND]
  10. “Burn The Ships” – for King & Country [7 / 13TH]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Well Done” – The Afters

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

No new entries this week, as the radio playlist of K-LOVE (my primary source of radio listening) has become noticeably frozen for the Christmas season, and Christmas recurrents are gradually increasing day and night. As is usually the case I expect new entries and hectic chart action come the first weekend of January.

This is probably the last week for Jeremy Camp at # 1 and Casting Crowns at # 2. Sanctus Real and We The Kingdom posted big gains this week, and one of them will probably top the chart next week. If it’s Sanctus Real then it’ll be their 2ND # 1 smash in a row in 2019 (following-up “Confidence”).

♫ Nothing can stop an unstoppable God
He’s not afraid of impossible odds
This is the promise that I’m standing on
Nothing can stop an unstoppable God ♫

For nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1:37 NLT)

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – with 4 new entries 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 new week my friends. I’m on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m also the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL. May the God of hope fill you completely with joy and peace as you trust in Him.

‘Twas 10 days before Christmas, and our Lead Pastor Bob delivered a Christmas sermon on “Why Christmas Has Lights”. He led us on how the “Season Of Light” got its start. Our Christmas tree was the backdrop of his sermon.

Living Waters Christmas Tree 2019

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. (John 1:4-5 NLT)

God created light. God is light. Light and life are renewed through Jesus Christ.

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow Me – you won’t have to walk in darkness – because you will have the light that leads to life.” (John 8:12 NLT)

Christ’s light brings salvation to the whole world – if you believe – if you follow Him.

You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14 NLT)

Go forth my brothers and sisters, and be the light in the darkness of the world.

Sunday Scripture

Today with my church body we praised and worshiped our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, and we shared testimonies of God’s Good News.

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good !  His faithful love endures forever. Has the LORD redeemed you ?  Then speak out !  Tell others He has redeemed you from your enemies. (Psalm 107:1-2)

Our Lead Pastor Bob preached on “Sin: Path To Heaven ?”  We are all sinners; however …

Even before He made the world – God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:4-5)

WELCOME to the “Winter Season Premiere” of my blog. Today – December 01ST 2019 – is the 12TH anniversary of this blog here on WordPress. It officially began on this date in 2007, but it was actually a continuation of my blog that started on Myspace a little more than 6 months earlier.

I’ve been on hiatus since my last post was published almost 2 weeks ago, but now I’m back. I got to spend quality time with immediate family over in North Texas, and we celebrated our annual tradition known as #ThanksChristmasGiving – 8 fun-filled days and nights of Thanksgiving and Christmas combined leading-up to the traditional Thanksgiving Day Dinner.

Over the next 3½ weeks I’ll celebrate Christmas here in South Florida with church family and work family. I’ll also be here online resuming blog posts every Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday – starting today – with a special end-of-year post on New Year’s Eve.

Today I preached my sermon on the prophet Habakkuk to my church family.

Here’s how I started today’s sermon – before preaching on Habakkuk:

Well Good Morning (again) Church Family !  It is so great to be here – in the house of the Lord. You know this is a nice sanctuary that we have here – with this nice pulpit – on this nice big stage – and we have nice new chairs on our nice new carpet. We have an A.C. that works great. We have a roof that doesn’t leak.

This is the Lord’s house – but only because – we are here right now, and the Lord is with us. You know our bodies are the Lord’s house. That means that everywhere we go – is the Lord’s house. God’s presence – is there – right where we are. God lives within us – in our hearts. The Bible says that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit – who lives in you – and was given to you by God. You do not belong to yourself. (1 Corinthians 6:19)

I like Psalm 27 & 4:

The one thing I ask of the LORD – the thing I seek most – is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life – delighting in the LORD’s perfections and meditating in His Temple.

That’s why we praise and worship Him. That’s why we have faith in Him.

Here’s how I closed today’s sermon:

As today’s prophets – with the temple of the Holy Spirit living within us – we must continue to go forth – together – as a church body – towards His bright light. We must remember what He has done for us in the past. We must accept what He is doing for us right now. We must trust what He will do for us in the future. We must believe in Him, for He is the only way. And we must invite our loved ones to join us for this journey. We want our loved ones to know the God that we know. That’s how we bring the church in everything we do – and in everywhere we go.

(And that Conclusion was actually a hidden “sneak-preview” of my next sermon to preach.)
