Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 16TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us continue to move forward towards the bright light of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

This weekend I hope to finish writing my next sermon that I hope to preach to my church family in the coming weeks on the good Kings Uzziah and Jotham of the land of Judah. They were Father and Son, and they were even Kings at the same time – sharing a coregency for about 11 years. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned about them from the Bible.

I also want to get started on writing my next sermon after that – tentatively titled “Salvation & Hope”.

“Well there you go again Reverend Chris – preaching about that salvation !”

My next sermon after next will begin a new message series on the Apostle Peter – starting with his first letter. The first 12 verses are all about salvation from Christ, and how great it is.

This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. (1 Peter 1:10 NLT)

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.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 221

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date May 10, 2021

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 40+ years. Here’s this week’s chart:

COUNTUP MINISTRIES	FOR THE WEEK ENDING SUNDAY MAY 09TH 2021	WEEK 221

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	16	Fires [3RD week @ # 1]	Jordan St. Cyr
2	3	7	Child Of Love	We The Kingdom Ft. Bear Rinehart
3	6	9	Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)	TobyMac
4	2	5	God Of Revival	Brian & Jenn Johnson
5	5	8	God Who Listens	Chris Tomlin Ft. Thomas Rhett
6	4	12	Good God Almighty	Crowder
7	7	24	Every Step Of The Way	Cade Thompson
8	–	1	Yes He Can	Cain
9	8	5	Gospel Song	Rhett Walker
10	10	3	Mean Girls	Leanna Crawford

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Forgiven” – Crowder

#Surprise. Jordan St. Cyr is still at # 1 with “Fires”. We The Kingdom are back up a notch to # 2 with perhaps my next # 1 smash. Or could it be the latest from TobyMac – whose “Help Is On The Way” is now his highest-charting hit in over 3 years (since “I Just Need U.”). It’s his 8TH hit since this chart was resurrected in 2017, and it’s his 11TH hit overall since 2007. If we go back even further to 1996 we can include dc Talk’s hit – “Between You And Me” – since Toby was one-third of the band.

My Pastor’s sermon yesterday morning was titled “Help Is On The Way”, and it continued his message series on how great and glorious our God is. All throughout his sermon our Pastor would return to the title of his sermon, and I couldn’t help but hum the TobyMac song “Help Is On The Way”. I actually made note of it after his sermon when I took over to close the service, but I don’t think a single one of my brothers and sisters was familiar with the current hit on the radio.

Here’s the official music video for that current TobyMac hit on the radio – now with nearly 3.8 million views on YouTube:

This blog is # 52 worldwide on the Top 90 Christian Music Blogs, Websites, & Influencers in 2021 chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming 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. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

Be blessed my friends ! May the 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.

Sunday Scripture

Post date May 9, 2021

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 09TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and all that He has done for us.

From Proverbs 31:25-31 – “A Virtuous And Capable Wife” – and as the Bible says:

She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.
When she speaks – her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
She carefully watches everything in her household, and suffers nothing from laziness.
Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:
“There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all !”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last. But a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

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.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 220

COUNTUP MINISTRIES	FOR THE WEEK ENDING SUNDAY MAY 02ND 2021	WEEK 220

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “What A Friend” – Matt Maher
2017 – “Forgiven” – Crowder

Jordan St. Cyr hangs-on at # 1 with “Fires”. It’s currently a Top 10 hit at U.S. Christian Radio from coast-to-coast. I love the overall feel of the track. It’s quite catchy. I can still hum to it and sing to it hours after last hearing it on the radio. I especially love the bridge:

♫ I can face anything
‘Cause You’re here with me
I can do all things
‘Cause You strengthen me ♫

It was actually a very close call between # 1 and # 2. I actually had Brian & Jenn Johnson’s “God Of Revival” listed as the new # 1 smash earlier in the week, but then I slipped it down to # 2. (Some “behind-the-scenes” information for you: My chart is active as a “living document” all week long. My Top 10 hits sometimes move up and down the chart during the week, but it’s where they land by Sunday evening that ultimately counts. Sometimes a song will enter my chart during the week, but by Sunday evening it’s off again.)

BUBBLING UNDER just outside my Top 10 this week is the new track from Cain. It’s their follow-up to “Rise Up (Lazarus)” which was my # 4 hit of all of 2020. I heard “Yes He Can” on the radio for the first time last Monday, and I instantly loved it. Once I looked it up to see who sang it I was delighted to find out that it was Cain. It’s already exploding at U.S. Christian Radio where it registers the “most increased plays” this week. It should enter my chart next week, and at this point I’m already thinking that it could be a # 1 smash this Summer.

This blog is # 53 worldwide on the Top 90 Christian Music Blogs, Websites, & Influencers in 2021 chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

Be blessed my friends ! May the 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.
