It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back almost 50 years.

WORLD ON FIRE – Joel and Luke Smallbone’s 12TH hit ascends to the top of my chart this week. It’s their 2ND # 1 smash in a row (after their remake of “Place In This World” with Michael W. Smith). Their 1ST 10 hits did not reach # 1.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Coby James spent 8 weeks on my chart during the Summer of 2021 with his soulful track for Christ – “Brand New”. It peaked at # 5 for 2 weeks, and it carried with it a fun music video at the swimming pool.

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.

Bible Blogging Christian Church God Ministry Scripture

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday January 11TH 2026, 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’m coming up on my 19TH anniversary of being part of a church family. I’ll observe and celebrate that life-changing event next #SundayScripture.

In the weeks leading up to it – I heard promos on the local Miami Christian pop radio station that God used to rescue and save me some 4 months earlier. The radio promos were for an upcoming birthday rock concert – at a church – on a Saturday night – in Homestead (my longtime home). The local radio station was celebrating its birthday. (I think it had been on-the-air since the early-1990s.)

I could not believe my ears. A rock concert ? At a church ? 3 miles away from my home ?

The headliner of the rock concert was Manic Drive. They were quite popular on Christian radio back in the mid-2000s.

I thought about it. I prayed about it. I remembered what The Bible had taught me over the past 4 months. It was time to make the move. It was time to take the next step. It was time to activate. No more procrastinating. If I were to get closer to God then I couldn’t do it alone. I must do it in fellowship with likeminded brothers and sisters.

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. (Acts 2:42 NLT)

I decided that I would indeed go to that church on that Saturday night in January of 2007 and attend and experience that rock concert for Christ.

I did just that, and it changed my life forever. I’ll continue this story next week.

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 464

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 January 04TH 2026 – the 464TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	12	How Good It Is [4TH week @ # 1]	Chris Tomlin
2	2	13	Dusty Bibles	Josiah Queen
3	4	9	World On Fire	for King + Country Ft. Taylor Hill
4	3	23	Can’t Steal My Joy	Josiah Queen X Brandon Lake

9	9	4	No Survivors	Jeremy Camp
10	–	1	Heaven On My Mind	TobyMac

# 1 This Week In:
2025 – “Do It Again” – Steven Curtis Chapman
2024 – “Hallelujah Feeling” – Caleb & John
2023 – “Who I Am” – Ben Fuller
2022 – “Weary Traveler” – Jordan St. Cyr
2021 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2020 – “Holy Water” – We The Kingdom
2019 – “Well Done” – The Afters
2018 – “Lions” – Skillet

CHRIS TOMLIN – He begins 2026 the same way he ended 2025 – atop my chart. “How Good It Is” spends its 4TH week at # 1. It’s also rebounding back up the chart nationally due to renewed airplay on those stations that played only Christmas music for 4 weeks from Thanksgiving to Christmas. It’s good to get back to normal on the radio. Incoming – new music from some of our favorite artists – and some emerging artists.

ONE-HIT WONDER – I can’t believe that Cade Thompson is still a one-hit wonder. He arrived on my chart on Thanksgiving Weekend of 2020. The following weekend – “Every Step Of The Way” ascended from # 8 to # 1 – and it stayed at # 1 for 12 weeks in a row. It spent a total of 26 weeks on my chart through May of 2021. It was my # 3 hit overall of 2021, and it’s my # 5 hit overall since my chart was rebooted almost 9 years ago.

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.

Bible Blogging Christian Church God Ministry Scripture

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday January 04TH 2026, 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 marks the start of my 9TH year of #SundayScripture here on my blog. I’m coming up on my 400TH edition in February. I never really thought that this would last this long, but it has. I still enjoy producing this weekly series, so it shall continue, and God will continue to get all of the glory.

A friend from afar recently asked me if I was leading my own church these days. The answer is no. I am not leading my own church; although, that was actually a plan of mine for a few years. I thought about it. I prayed about it. I wondered what it would be like if I planted a church in my eventual retirement location of Sebring Florida. I even thought about starting a church in the clubhouse of my own neighborhood once I settled on my current 55+ community in 2022. Those plans didn’t come to fruition. They were not God’s plans. His plans were for me to serve as part of an already established church body in Sebring. I picked the first church. That wasn’t the church that God planned for me. He picked the next church. I’ve been part of that church body for the past 28 months.

My takeaway is this. Go ahead and make plans for your future. Make big plans. Pray about them. Our God may find them amusing. He’s got His own plans for you. Go with His plans.

“For I know the plans I have for you” – says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster – to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)

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.
