My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2009

Post date March 8, 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 08TH 2009:

“Surrender Saved My Life” – This Beautiful Republic
“Dead Man” – We As Human
“Cross My Heart” – Nevertheless
“Let’s Dance” – Hawk Nelson
“The Last, The Lost, The Least” – Relient K

Nevertheless – what an awesome band that I grew up with as a baby Christian. They were very prominent on Christian radio, and as a result – the soundtrack of my life during those early years discovering and exploring who Jesus Christ was, is, and will be.

Nevertheless charted with 5 radio singles back then – “The Real” (peaked at # 24 in 2006), “Live Like We’re Alive” (# 2 for 4 weeks in 2007), “Time (To Let This Go)” (# 5 in 2007), “Sleeping In” (# 1 for 3 weeks in 2008), and “Cross My Heart” (# 3 in 2009). Hearing some of those early songs a dozen years later gives me goosebumps, and reminds me of just how far I’ve come since I first stumbled onto this fantastic journey.

Music has played an important role in my life of nearly 52 years. At the age of 39 God used music to lift me out of the slimy pit – out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock – and gave me a firm place to stand. That’s why I share God’s Good News through His music.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with two more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Share the Good News with all who will listen.

Me & My Nieces

Happy Thursday my friends ! Let’s kickoff a fresh new weekend of blogging.

Chris – We don’t see enough pictures of you on your own blog !

That’s true, and you won’t find many pictures of me on my Flickr either because all of those photos are marked as private along with all photos of my family (immediate and extended).

Every so often I’ll tweet a photo of me. I’ve never been able to perfect the “selfie”, so any photo of me was taken by someone else.

So here’s a rare online photo of me and my nieces. This was taken last April (2018) here in South Florida in front of the Miami Seaquarium before we entered the park for a day of fun with the aquatic animals. I absolutely love this photo. It’s one of the best ones of me recently, and my nieces are extra lovable and huggable in it. That’s “Petite” next to me. She was almost 5 then. Next to her is “Tiny”. She had just turned 8 then. Oh yeah – and I was almost 51. We look good !

Chris, Peyton, & Taylor

“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [1 / 14TH]

# 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.

Bible Christian Church God Ministry Scripture

Sunday Scripture

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 3, 2019

Many of my sermons … OK – most of my sermons – have to do with repentance and salvation. A lot of pastors are accused of preaching a narrow cross-section of the Bible, and not the entire Bible. There are prosperity preachers, and doom-and-gloom preachers, and Old Testament-only preachers, and New Testament-only preachers, and preachers who never mention Satan, and preachers who don’t even use the Bible for their sermons. Some preachers scream to get their message across – while other preachers are soft-spoken. Some rely on bells and whistles to appeal to a younger crowd.

I consider the Reverend Billy Graham to be my TV Pastor. I met him while he was in his mid-90s – not in-person – but on television for the first time. I started watching 30-minute editions of his crusades from the late-1960s through the mid-1990s on TBN just a few years ago. I had never seen them before, but I’d been told that my sermons were very Billy Graham-like. Not knowing what to think I did some research, and I started checking him out. I concur. He was one of the greatest preachers of all-time. Millions were rescued and saved by our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ because of the Good News that Reverend Graham brought to the masses. I like his style, as he also preaches mostly about repentance and salvation.

Today our Lead Pastor Bob preached an amazing sermon on salvation using Luke 19:1-10 as the centerpiece of his sermon. I followed that up by leading our church body in Communion with Scripture on salvation from Acts 26:13-18. Neither one of us knew what the other would preach on today, but we flowed right in to each other. God’s Glory was at work today at Living Waters.

Next Sunday I’ll be preaching a full sermon. The title of my sermon is “Present & Future”, and it’s about repentance and salvation. See that’s my specialty. I can preach on repentance and salvation eternally. I have 12 years and 6 months (150 months) of first-hand experience in this area. I preach what I know.

Here’s an excerpt from my sermon for next Sunday:

The Bible says it’s getting late. Time is running out. Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost over. The day of salvation will soon be here. (Romans 13:11-12)

You see we were saved. Past-tense. Salvation began. For me it began during the 3RD week of August of 2006. Salvation continues. Present-tense. It’s ongoing. And salvation will come again. Future-tense. We will be saved when we are victorious over sin and death when Jesus – our Lord and Savior – returns in glory !

He is our Judge. On that day of judgment – He alone – our Judge – who gave the law – has the power to save and to destroy. Many will be destroyed. Some will be saved. I want to be saved again. I want each of you to be saved again. I want my whole family to be saved. I believe we will all be saved.
