Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date February 5, 2024

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday February 04TH 2024 – the 364TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	13	I Believe [2ND week @ # 1]	Phil Wickham
2	4	9	Strong	Anne Wilson
3	2	25	Hallelujah Feeling	Caleb & John
4	3	16	I Thank God	Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship
5	5	9	Lead On Good Shepherd	Patrick Mayberry
6	6	6	Hallelujah Anyway	Rend Collective
7	7	5	Crazy About You	Tauren Wells
8	–	1	These Days	Jeremy Camp
9	8	26	Praise The Lord	Micah Tyler
10	10	10	Grave Robber	Crowder

# 1 This Week In:
2023 – “Who I Am” – Ben Fuller
2022 – “Weary Traveler” – Jordan St. Cyr
2021 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2020 – “Rescue Story” – Zach Williams
2019 – “Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin
2018 – “Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha Cobbs Leonard

HALLELUJAH FEELING – Back in January 2020 – Casting Crowns and Matthew West took top honors with their glorious collaboration of “Nobody (But Jesus)”. It spent 25 weeks on my chart – including 7 weeks at # 1, 9 weeks at # 2, and 21 weeks in my Top 3. It accumulated 205 chart points over its 25 weeks. That record held until this week. Enter Caleb & John. Their “Hallelujah Feeling” has now accumulated 208 chart points after 25 weeks. That’s after 3 weeks at # 1, 13 weeks at # 2, and 21 weeks in my Top 3. It’s my # 1 smash overall since this current era began 7 years ago.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime simply by heading over to my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays). You can link to it here.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

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. God used loud music on the radio to reach me in August of 2006. I’ve been testifying about Him ever since.

Be blessed my friends ! May our God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday February 04TH 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

January seemed like it went on forever. You’ve probably seen the memes online like “It’s been January for the past 3 months !”, or “It’s January 74TH !”

January was quite the eventful month for me, and it was a good month for me. I know that February is going to be a great month. It’s going to end on a life-changing note – my retirement after 39 years with the USAF.

This past Friday night I returned back to my home church here in Sebring Florida for weekly Bible Study with our Pastor Tim and our small group of about a dozen. We got started with 1 Peter. It’s a favorite book of mine, as I preached a 5-sermon message series from 1 Peter from September 2021 to September 2022. (3 of those 5 sermons can be read here on #SundayScripture. Head over to my SERMONS page for Sermons 42, 44, and 48.)

It sounds like we’re going to study both 1 Peter and 2 Peter over the next season, so I’m looking forward to that. This past Friday night we covered 1 Peter 1:1-4, and we spent a lot of time on just the first 2 verses. It’s good to study 1 Peter from a different perspective. I love it.

Peter – an apostle of Jesus Christ – to those who reside as strangers – scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia – who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father – by the sanctifying work of the Spirit – to obey Jesus Christ, and be sprinkled with His blood – May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
(1 Peter 1:1-2 NASB)

We’re also starting a new message series this morning. Our Pastor joked about starting two new message series simultaneously this weekend. But he’s taking it in stride, and God is leading him in His Way.

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture whether it’s part of a sermon, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord, and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday January 28TH 2024 – the 363RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

10	10	9	Grave Robber	Crowder

PHIL WICKHAM – ♫ All praise to God the Father. All praise to Christ the Son. All praise to the Holy Spirit. Our God has overcome. The King who was and is and evermore will be. In Jesus mighty name – I believe ! ♫ I love that chorus, and I love all of the lyrics of that great song about our great God. “I Believe” is my new # 1 smash this week. It’s Phil’s 2ND # 1 smash in a row – following-up “This Is Our God”.

CHARTBUSTERS – Sitting just outside of my Top 10 this week are 7 new songs from Shane & Shane, Terrian, Consumed By Fire, Jeremy Camp, Matthew West, Brandon Heath, and Cory Asbury. I like them all, and perhaps 1 or 2 of them could enter my chart next week – like this one:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

Be blessed my friends ! May our God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today I’ll be missing church service for a rare Sunday morning. I’ll be staying at home preparing for a medical procedure tomorrow afternoon. The Good News is that my church (here in Sebring Florida) records and broadcasts LIVE all of our services, so I can watch it at home.

Before COVID some churches were already livestreaming their services, but during COVID that strategy expanded exponentially. It’s a great way to get the Gospel out to the masses in any way and at any time. But watching a church service online is definitely not a substitute for attending a church service LIVE and in-person. I don’t believe that you can grow as a mature Christian unless you are in fellowship with other mature Christians. I believe that it’s crucial to be a physical part of a church family – not just on Sunday mornings – but on other days of the week as well – with small groups, and bible studies, and other activities – in and out of the church building. We must remember that the church is not the building. The church is the living and breathing body of Christ.

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. (Romans 12:4-5 NLT)
