Post date October 19, 2020

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back 40+ years. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday October 18TH 2020:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	2	8	Rise Up (Lazarus)	Cain
2	3	7	No Hold On Me	Matty Mullins
3	1	10	God So Loved	We The Kingdom
4	5	7	This Is What We Live For	Big Daddy Weave
5	4	9	Who Am I	NeedToBreathe
6	6	2	Truth Be Told	Matthew West
7	7	3	Start Right Here	Casting Crowns
8	8	3	Jericho	Andrew Ripp
9	9	7	Into The Sea (It’s Gonna Be OK)	Tasha Layton
10	10	2	You Keep Hope Alive	Mandisa Ft. Jon Reddick

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Fear No More” – Building 429
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Word Of Life” – Jeremy Camp

Taylor, Madison, and Logan Cain score a # 1 smash with their very first hit on my chart. They become the first artist since We The Kingdom last January to score a # 1 smash with their debut, and Cain replace We The Kingdom this week as the latter’s 2ND # 1 smash drops to # 3 this week. Cain embark on a national tour next March with We The Kingdom and Zach Williams as part of Zach’s “Rescue Story Tour”. Now that’s a concert I’m interested in !

♫ Come on and rise up
Take a breath you’re alive now
Can’t you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
You’re brand new
The power of death couldn’t hold you
Can’t you hear the voice of Jеsus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
Risе up, rise up, (Oh, oh), rise up
Out from the grave like Lazarus ♫

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.

Last Sunday just before our service began my Pastor asked myself and our Praise & Worship Leader who was going to preach next Sunday because he wanted to take a break. I pointed at our Praise & Worship Leader, and he pointed back at me. Our Praise & Worship Leader works as a Manager at a big casualty insurance company, and as a result of Hurricane Delta in Louisiana and Texas he’s quite busy right now. My thoughts and prayers go out to my brothers and sisters on the upper Gulf Coast. I pray for comfort, resources, and restoration for the region.

I’ll be preaching a full sermon this morning to my church family at Living Waters here in Homestead Florida. It’s a sermon that I just finished writing earlier this week, so it’s fresh on my mind. I’ll be leading a verse-by-verse teaching of the shortest book in the Bible – the 2ND Letter of John.

Here are the first 3 verses:

This letter is from John – the elder. I am writing to the chosen lady and to her children – whom I love in the truth – as does everyone else who knows the truth – because the truth lives in us and will be with us forever. Grace, mercy, and peace – which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ – the Son of the Father – will continue to be with us who live in truth and love.

This sermon marks the start of my 5TH year of preaching at my current church. I am humbled and grateful for the weekly opportunities that I am blessed with to share my testimony and proclaim God’s greatness in front of my church family, and also preach about the God I know and love.

I am also thankful that this blog was recently selected as 1 of the “Top 60 Pastor Blogs & Web Sites For Christians In 2020“. Look for me at # 45. Thank You Feedspot !

My Top 10 Hits – Week 191

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Fear No More” – Building 429
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “The Gospel” – Ryan Stevenson

We The Kingdom are still at # 1 on my chart with my favorite song on the radio. It’s their 5TH week at the top for “God So Loved”. That’s makes it my longest-running # 1 smash since June when The Afters spent 6 weeks at # 1 with “I Will Fear No More”.

My favorite male solo artist – Matthew West – is back with his 5TH hit in 3 years. His first 4 hits all hit # 1 or # 2 (“All In”), and his new one – “Truth Be Told” – could very well be on its way to the top as well. It’s actually been hanging around online for about a year now, but it’s new to Christian radio over the past couple of months. It’s from his “Brand New” album. (That’s the name of it.)

Check-out the official music video for “Truth Be Told” either below or over on YouTube.

After two postponements in 2020 his Southwest Florida concert supporting Casting Crowns (on their “Only Jesus” tour) is back on the docket for March of 2021, and I’ll (hopefully) be there to enjoy a night of great music for the Lord.

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 October 11, 2020

It’s Sunday October 11TH 2020, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us praise and worship and celebrate Christ our Savior on this day – and on every day that He blesses us with.

It’s Pastor Appreciation Month, and on this 2ND Sunday of October it’s specifically Pastor Appreciation Day. Church families all around the world will honor their Pastor(s) today. We will do so at my church – Living Waters Full Gospel Church. I love my Pastor of the past 5½ years, and he has led me well with knowledge and understanding of God’s Truth. He has allowed me to minister and preach to our church family every week, and he has encouraged me to spread the Gospel and evangelize to the world.

I’ve been blessed as a Minister for almost 11 years now. I was given the opportunity to start hosting and leading Sunday morning services 11 years ago this month at my previous church, and I seized the opportunity. I enjoyed my time on stage there, and I was surrounded by some great leaders including my former Lead Pastor and his Mom and Dad. I grew exponentially during that time from a baby Christian to a church leader.

You have to stay humble when you lead a church, and never get comfortable. If you’re too comfortable then you’re not trying hard enough. It’s all about God first – and then it’s about your brothers and sisters of your church family. You must care for them. You must lead them well. You must guide and direct them towards Christ.

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work, and build up the church – the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord – measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-13)
