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 15TH 2025 – the 435TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	13	You Never Gave Up On Me [3RD week @ # 1]	The Afters
2	2	12	Oh Death	MercyMe
3	4	6	The King Is In The Room	Phil Wickham
4	3	12	Unashamed	Matthew West
5	6	4	God Did It	Micah Tyler
6	5	20	Money Can’t Buy	Cochren & Co.
7	7	11	Jesus Loves	Zach Williams
8	8	9	No Fear	Jon Reddick
9	9	3	I Know A Name	Elevation Worship Ft. Brandon Lake
10	–	1	Breakdown	Andrew Ripp

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Beautiful Life” – Pat Barrett
2023 – “Cornerstone” – TobyMac Ft. Zach Williams
2022 – “Sunday Sermons” – Anne Wilson
2021 – “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)” – TobyMac
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Home” – Chris Tomlin

CHARTBEAT – The Afters’ “You Never Gave Up On Me” spends its 3RD week at # 1 – becoming the 4TH song in a row to do so – starting with the oldest song on my chart – Cochren & Co.’s “Money Can’t Buy” – which debuted on my chart back in early-February. It’s actually Cochren & Co.’s 4TH hit to spend at least 20 weeks on my chart. And finally – Andrew Ripp is back with his 6TH hit in “Breakdown”. It’s his follow-up to his long-running (26-week) hit “Love’s Got A Way”. Get ready for a new # 1 next week. Maybe.

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 15TH 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 morning I’m waking up in a hotel room in Homestead Florida – my home from 1987 to 2023. I’m visiting my former church family – attending service and extending my birthday celebration. Afterwards a small group of us will gather together – probably at Longhorn Steakhouse – for fellowship and food. I’ll be on my way back home to Sebring after lunch.

Normally I watch my former Pastor on Facebook on Sunday afternoons. When I get home tonight – I’ll be watching my current Pastor on YouTube.

I like Psalm 96:3. The NLT uses the word “publish”. It says to “Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.” That’s what Pastors do when they publish their sermons online. That’s what Bloggers do when they publish God’s Word online. We tell everyone about the amazing things He does. Most other Bible translations use the word “declare” in lieu of “publish”. A few use the word “tell”. I like all 3 words, for we must tell, declare, and publish His Glory – starting inside the local church – and working our way outside the church and into the world – among all peoples. As Billy Graham famously said – “Christ belongs to all people – He belongs to the whole world !”

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.

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

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”.

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.

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.
