Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday June 01ST 2025 – the 433RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

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).

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.

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday June 01ST 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.

It’s the start of a brand-new month of hope, joy, and peace. I’m looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me in this great new month.

This morning I’m leading Communion for my church body. Scripture from this morning’s Communion is from Romans 5, 1 Peter 3, and Matthew 26. I decided to write a short “back-to-basics” message on why we observe and celebrate Communion in the church once a month. Four words – “In Remembrance Of Him”. Every month I try to write the right Communion at the right time, and I think that this morning’s Communion is what God wants us to know about Him.

When we were utterly helpless – Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now – most people would not be willing to die for an upright person; though, someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:6-8 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.

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.

Sunday Scripture

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.
