DEBUT ARTIST – I know. I always say this. I love a debut artist. I love an artist making his or her very first appearance on my chart. This week it’s David Leonard. He was once one-half of All Sons & Daughters. You may be familiar with “Great Are You Lord” from their 2013 LIVE album. David’s been solo over the past several years, and now he’s got a breakthrough hit at U.S. Christian Radio. Here’s the official music video for his uplifting #GoodLord:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

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. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

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 July 17TH 2022, 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.

I scrolled across this meme on social media over a month ago, and I saved it for future reference (as I do with many memes). I plan to write a full standalone sermon all about the devil in disguise.

If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil – it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan – who is the god of this world – has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ – who is the exact likeness of God. (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

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 282

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 nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday July 10TH 2022 – the 282ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 4 4 Getting Started
[1ST week @ # 1]		 Jeremy Camp
2 1 10 Me On Your Mind Matthew West
3 3 7 Love Is Everything We Need Unspoken
4 2 22 Sunday Sermons Anne Wilson
5 5 4 Hold You Tight Dan Bremnes
6 8 24 See Me Through It Brandon Heath
7 9 24 Brighter Days Blessing Offor
8 6 16 Fill My Cup Andrew Ripp
9 – 1 The Goodness TobyMac Ft. Blessing Offor
10 10 3 Thank God For Sunday Morning Cochren & Co.

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Be Alright” – Evan Craft X Danny Gokey X Redimi2
2020 – “Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

NEW # 1 – This one surprised even me, and this is my own chart. After just 2 weeks at # 1 (as my 500TH # 1) Matthew West slips unexpectedly to # 2 with “Me On Your Mind”. Replacing Matthew is another one of my favorite singers – Jeremy Camp. His 7TH single since 2017 (8TH overall) is now his 4TH # 1 smash, as “Getting Started” ascends to the top. Released as a radio single in late-February it took a little while to become a hit. It’s his 2ND single from his 2021 album “When You Speak” which he wrote in 2020 during the onset and peak of the pandemic.

UNSPOKEN – Their 5TH single is a Top 3 hit, and I love its feel on the radio. I also love its lyrics – particularly these:

♫ The devil is crafty and we fall right into his trap
We might not be swinging our fists
But we’ll talk behind somebody’s back
How we gonna look like Jesus
When we’re only looking out for ourselves
Real love is giving our lives for somebody else ♫

That’ll preach, for “Love Is Everything We Need”.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday July 10TH 2022, 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.

I love to meet new people. I also love to travel – whether it’s for a single day, or several days, or a week or more. I meet some great people on my travels – loving what they are doing. A couple of days ago I spent the day over in Naples Florida – about 110 miles away from home. I’ll share my day with you in Naples on my next #TravelThursday.

I saw this on social media a few days ago, and I thought to myself that I can use it in a future sermon. I think that most Christians have probably been in this situation many times:

Again I say – don’t get involved in foolish ignorant arguments that only start fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. (2 Timothy 2:23-25)

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.
