Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday March 23RD 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.

God blessed me with a very good week of Bible studying and sermon writing. Last #SundayScripture I revealed the title of my next sermon – “Ungodly & Sinful” – based on 1 Timothy 1:9. I wrote the back-half of that sermon this past week, and now I’m putting the finishing touches on it. Going forth – I’ll continue to review it and enhance it as needed. It’s sort of a “throwback” sermon for me. It’s my first verse-by-verse (expository) sermon since I preached 2 sermons on Jude near the end of 2023. It’ll be my first extended message series since I preached on 1 Peter over the course of 5 sermons in 2021 and 2022.

“Ungodly & Sinful” is Scripture heavy. It’s based on 1 Timothy 1:1-11 and a few later verses in 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus 1:15-16 and 2:11-14, as well as Romans 6:1-14 and 23, 7:4-6 and 12, 2 Corinthians 4:4, and Galatians 5:19-26.

This past Friday night I filled in for my Pastor and led Bible Study at my church for the first time – a little over 14 months after attending my very first Friday Night Bible Study in January 2024. (I wrote about it in this #SundayScripture.) We’re currently reading and studying Paul’s letter to the Romans – verse-by-verse – from start to finish. We’re up to Romans 8 now, and I continued the momentum with Verses 1 to 15. Paul essentially recaps and reinforces what he wrote previously about sin and sinful desires – particularly in Romans 6. So – I read, and we discussed all of Chapter 6. (Earlier that same day I read and studied Romans 6 and incorporated much of it into my sermon.)

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 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.

Post date March 17, 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 March 16TH 2025 – the 422ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE

FORREST FRANK – He follows-up his # 2 hit “Good Day” from last August with what is now a # 1 smash (AKA – my favorite song of the week). It’s quite the peculiar song on my chart – part pop, part hip hop, part gospel. It’s got a good beat, and I can dance to it !

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 March 16TH 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.

Today is the 2ND Anniversary of when I closed on my dream home in my dream neighborhood in my dream part of Florida (Sebring in Highlands County). I actually spent my first night in my dream home the night before (on March 15TH 2023), and then the next day I, my Real Estate Agent, and the sellers met at the Title company to transfer the home to me. Yet another dream came true on that day. God’s miracles continue in abundance.

In other news – my next sermon now has a title – “Ungodly & Sinful”. It’s from 1 Timothy 1:9:

For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious – who are ungodly and sinful – who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy – who kill their father or mother or commit other murders.

I’m making great progress on my next sermon. It’s about half-done, and I’m also working on the PowerPoint Presentation (.PPT) that goes along with it simultaneously. It’s a different strategy for me. Normally I write the entire sermon and then I wait until I get the call to preach before I work on the .PPT. In this case – the .PPT is actually inspiring me to write more of my sermon. The plan is to complete both the sermon and the .PPT, and then immediately begin working on the next sermon on the next part of 1 Timothy 1.

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick’s Day. Enjoy the day. Make it a good one. Make it a day that you can look back at fondly in the future.

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.

♫ And I said hold on wait a minute
I don’t want what You ain’t in
And I don’t wanna go unless I’m going there with You
It’s You there rain or shining
You’re the sun on my horizon
You are my everything
My Promised Land is You ♫
