Sunday Scripture

Post date January 19, 2025

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday January 19TH 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.

Last Sunday morning I drove 3+ hours – straight to my former home church in Homestead Florida (Living Waters Full Gospel Church). I setup all of the electronic devices and equipment, I sang with two others for Praise & Worship (3 songs), and then I preached my sermon on King Solomon and his God-given wisdom. Everything worked out perfectly, and the sermon was well-received. I prayed about that during much of the 3+ hour drive southward. God be the Glory.

Normally the sermons are presented LIVE (and forever thereafter) on the church’s Facebook page, and it’s done so via iPad, but I filled-in for both the Lead Pastor and the Worship Pastor who were both out. So – no iPad and no Facebook video. I may eventually transcribe my sermon here on #SundayScripture (as I’ve done with 9 previous sermons).

I drove back home to Sebring the very next morning. It was my quickest turnaround between Homestead and Sebring ever. This past week it was back to business in my neighborhood, at the museum, and at my home church (Highlands Community Church). As I preached last Sunday morning – I need God’s wisdom in everything I do and everywhere I go.

Proverbs 3:13-20:
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom – the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. She will guide you down delightful paths. All her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her. Happy are those who hold her tightly. By wisdom the Lord founded the earth. By understanding he created the heavens. By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the dew settles beneath the night sky.

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 January 13, 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 over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday January 12TH 2025 – the 413TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

2	5	4	Running Back To You	Seph Schlueter
3	4	7	In The Name Of Jesus	JWLKRS Worship Ft. Maverick City Music
4	3	18	That’s Who I Praise	Brandon Lake

WE ARE MESSENGERS – The band originally from Monaghan Ireland are back with their 10TH hit since 2017, as “A Thousand Times” enters at # 8. It’s their follow-up to last year’s “God Be The Glory”. Statistically (based on chart performance) – they are my # 11 artist of this current era. Realistically – they are one of my favorite artists on the radio and LIVE in concert. I’ve seen Darren and the band LIVE 3 times – in 2019, 2021, and 2023. They put on an energetic set with all of their hits that can’t stop me from singing and YES – even dancing along. “Point To You” sounds amazing LIVE !

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 January 12TH 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’m waking-up in Sebring Florida this morning, but I’ll be 180 miles away in Homestead Florida by 10 AM. I’ll be at my former home church of 9 years (2015-2024). I’ll be filling-in for the Pastor this morning. I’ll be leading Praise & Worship with 3 music videos – “The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)” from Matt Maher, “Nobody (But Jesus)” from Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West, and “Praise The Lord” from Micah Tyler. I’ve used all 3 of these songs before, and they are favorites with the church body. My sermon this morning is titled “Solomon & Wisdom”, and it’s all about the early part of King Solomon’s 40-year reign on the united Kingdom of Israel with his God-given wisdom. I’m looking forward to preaching it to my brothers and sisters.

I got the call to preach this past Tuesday afternoon, and naturally I accepted it. I had a half-written sermon that I actually started writing over 5 months ago. It kind of stalled out after a few months, and I started writing another sermon (which is less than a quarter-written). Hurricanes and holidays disrupted my sermon-writing process. And then Men’s Fellowship occurred this past Tuesday night at my home church here in Sebring, and I was blessed with the Scripture that our Pastor led with (Proverbs 3:5-7) and the group discussion that complemented it. I went home immediately after that and began writing the second-half of my sermon on King Solomon. I finished it on Thursday morning.

Our God is great, and I need His wisdom in everything I do and everywhere I go. Without God – there is no wisdom. God created wisdom. God is wisdom.

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.
