Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date May 27, 2025

Every Monday (this week on Tuesday) 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 May 25TH 2025 – the 432ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	9	Unashamed [3RD week @ # 1]	Matthew West
2	2	10	You Never Gave Up On Me	The Afters
3	3	17	Money Can’t Buy	Cochren & Co.
4	5	9	Oh Death	MercyMe
5	6	3	The King Is In The Room	Phil Wickham
6	4	13	A Lil Church (Nobody’s Too Lost)	TobyMac
7	7	6	No Fear	Jon Reddick
8	8	8	Jesus Loves	Zach Williams
9	–	1	God Did It	Micah Tyler
10	10	8	Your Way’s Better	Forrest Frank

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Counting My Blessings” – Seph Schlueter
2023 – “This Is Our God” – Phil Wickham
2022 – “Egypt” – Cory Asbury
2021 – “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)” – TobyMac
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Born Again” – Austin French
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Live Like You’re Loved” – Hawk Nelson

MICAH TYLER – He’s back with his 9TH hit on my chart over the past 8 years as he proclaims that “God Did It”. He put the breath in my lungs. He calls us daughters and sons. He raised me up from the grave. He’s always making a way. To God be the glory.

SUMMER OF 2025 – Summer has begun with the arrival of Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S.A. As is tradition I’ll be presenting my Top 10 hits of the 15 weeks of Summer in a special chart presented on Wednesday September 03RD 2025. Last Summer Caleb & John & Cain sang my # 1 overall with “Somebody Like Me”, and it finished the entire year as my # 2 smash. I’m wondering if this year’s # 1 summertime smash is even on my chart right now.

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 May 25TH 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.

This weekend marks the 18TH anniversary of this blog. I was highly encouraged to start it back in 2007 during the infancy of my salvation in Christ. My church brothers and sisters inspired me to journal my thoughts of God online and share them with the world. And so I did – starting on Myspace. I wrote 310+ blog posts in about 6 months on what was then the # 1 social media network in the U.S.A. After outgrowing Myspace during those 6 months – I brought my blog over here to WordPress, and it’s been here since the end of 2007. #SundayScripture continues my ministry online with this blog’s original premise – to testify about the God I know.

Back in those early days of my journey I was actually surrounded by a small group of church bloggers who wrote about their journey and Sunday morning experiences at church. That didn’t last very long. Most went over to Facebook and posted randomly there until they lost interest with it all. My blog has continued on for 18 years – including 4½ years on Facebook.

I’m probably the only blogger that I personally know nowadays, and that’s fine with me. Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok are the busy platforms these days. I have no interest in publishing content on any of them. This is where I wish to reside – at this dot-com with my name on it. You’ll find new digital content here every Thursday, Sunday, and Monday – some 160 blog posts per year.

Sing a new song to the Lord ! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord ! Sing to the Lord. Praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. (Psalm 96:1-3 NLT)

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.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 431

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date May 19, 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 May 18TH 2025 – the 431ST week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	8	Unashamed [2ND week @ # 1]	Matthew West
2	4	9	You Never Gave Up On Me	The Afters
3	3	16	Money Can’t Buy	Cochren & Co.
4	2	12	A Lil Church (Nobody’s Too Lost)	TobyMac
5	5	8	Oh Death	MercyMe
6	10	2	The King Is In The Room	Phil Wickham
7	9	5	No Fear	Jon Reddick
8	6	7	Jesus Loves	Zach Williams
9	8	10	Whisper And The Wind	Bodie
10	7	7	Your Way’s Better	Forrest Frank

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Counting My Blessings” – Seph Schlueter
2023 – “This Is Our God” – Phil Wickham
2022 – “Egypt” – Cory Asbury
2021 – “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)” – TobyMac
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Oh My Soul” – Casting Crowns

THE AFTERS – Their 4TH hit over the past 6½ years reaches # 2 this week, as “You Never Gave Up On Me” continues to impress. All 4 of their hits have reached my Top 3 – including the # 1 smash hits “Well Done” and “I Will Fear No More” (# 1 exactly 5 years ago during the pandemic). You know – when I hear songs that were playing on the radio during the pandemic – I sometimes get goosebumps. It brings me back to that uncertain time in an eerie homebound world when our lives were disrupted. We had never experienced anything like it in our lifetimes, and hopefully (with lessons learned) we’ll never go through any of that ever again. But even during that dark time – God’s light was still shining bright. The Afters’ song “I Will Fear No More” was the right song at the right time.

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.

I recently completed a test online consisting of 45 questions regarding my personal ministry. (There’s a “full version” and an “express version”. I took the full version.)

As you can see – the test determined that I am best as a Teacher in ministry. Evangelist came in a surprising 2ND place, as that’s actually my favorite area of ministry. Pastor was an unexpected 4TH place. I wonder which questions I answered that negatively impacted that score. I’ve been a Teacher in the church (mostly at my first church), and of course I’ve been an Evangelist and a Pastor (mostly at my second church). I actually didn’t think I was a very good Teacher, but perhaps I’m being too self-critical. I do love to evangelize. I love to bring the Good News of God to the public – those in and out of the church – those online and offline. When evangelizing (and preaching) there’s a great deal of teaching involved. I’ve always said that when you proclaim and teach the Gospel – you preach.

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. (Ephesians 4:11-12 NLT)
