Post date June 9, 2025

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 almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday June 08TH 2025 – the 434TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	12	You Never Gave Up On Me [2ND week @ # 1]	The Afters
2	3	11	Oh Death	MercyMe
3	2	11	Unashamed	Matthew West
4	4	5	The King Is In The Room	Phil Wickham
5	5	19	Money Can’t Buy	Cochren & Co.
6	7	3	God Did It	Micah Tyler
7	8	10	Jesus Loves	Zach Williams
8	6	8	No Fear	Jon Reddick
9	9	2	I Know A Name	Elevation Worship Ft. Brandon Lake
10	10	15	A Lil Church (Nobody’s Too Lost)	TobyMac

PHIL WICKHAM – His 11TH hit on my chart could be one of the hottest hits of the summer. It’s actually my early pick to be # 1 soon – and # 1 for the entire summer. A couple of summers ago (in 2023) Phil sang my # 2 hit of the season – “This Is Our God”.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing 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.

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 in South Florida 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 June 08TH 2025, 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.

I looked back at my Sunday blog post from exactly 17 years ago today on Sunday June 08TH 2008. I starred in a promotional video following Praise & Worship and Communion that morning that was “absolutely gut-busting hilarious (and yet strangely informative at the same time)”. That’s how I described it back then. It was done in a “Wayne’s World” style, and I was the guest being interviewed. (I played myself.)

The Pastor’s message that morning was about loneliness. Here’s what I wrote on here post-service:

Everyone has been lonely at some point in their life, but when you have a personal relationship with God you should know that although you may be alone – you are never lonely. God will never allow you to be lonely. God is our Father, our Son, and our Holy Spirit. We must have a ‘Gospel Partnership’ with Him where He is the center of all of our relationships. He must always be our # 1 priority above everything else. Our human relationships should be patterned after our # 1 relationship with God. The Good News says ‘Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” (Genesis 1:26 NLT)

That’s some Good News from 2008 – back when I was nearing the end of my 2ND year of salvation. My first church met at the local movie theatre back then. We leased it out every Sunday morning for about 10 hours – from 2 AM to 12 PM. (Setup was done in shifts from 2 AM to 8 AM.)

I served with my brothers and sisters of my church family at the front door, at our information booth in the main lobby, at the door leading in to the sanctuary (one of the theatres), and in various other areas of hospitality. I learned the importance of a church family. That’s the key to avoiding loneliness – serving God and living life with others who are also serving God – and knowing that God is always there for us – and with us. He lives in us – if we believe and follow Him.

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, 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.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday June 01ST 2025, 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.

It’s the start of a brand-new month of hope, joy, and peace. I’m looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me in this great new month.

This morning I’m leading Communion for my church body. Scripture from this morning’s Communion is from Romans 5, 1 Peter 3, and Matthew 26. I decided to write a short “back-to-basics” message on why we observe and celebrate Communion in the church once a month. Four words – “In Remembrance Of Him”. Every month I try to write the right Communion at the right time, and I think that this morning’s Communion is what God wants us to know about Him.

When we were utterly helpless – Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now – most people would not be willing to die for an upright person; though, someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:6-8 NLT)

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

The LORD bless you, and keep you.

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