My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2006

Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 25, 30, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday July 02ND 2006:

  1. “Ridin'” – Chamillionaire Ft. Krazie Bone
  2. “Promiscuous” – Nelly Furtado Ft. Timbaland
  3. “Ain’t No Other Man” – Christina Aguilera
  4. “Crazy” – Gnarls Barkley
  5. “Do It To It” – Cherish Ft. Sean Paul of YoungBloodZ

“Crazy” was a good song (still is). It peaked at # 2, and it probably could have made it to # 1 had it not been for my salvation 7 weeks later.

Trust me. 2006 will soon get very interesting, as I begin looking back at the 15TH anniversary of the start of my salvation in Christ. You’ll see how the music drastically changed once my life changed. My weekly hit music chart literally flipped just like that – much like a radio station that suddenly changes its format without notice. I’ll share the start of my fantastic journey with you every 1ST Friday of the month starting this September.

Next Friday on RETRO I’ll go back 25 years ago to July 1996.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going RETRO with me !

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 30TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us continue to celebrate our living Lord & Savior Jesus Christ – and all that He has done for us.

There’s a great new song on the radio from family band Cain. It’s titled “Yes He Can”. It’s about our almighty God. He moved every mountain. He parted every sea. He defeated the darkness. He delivered me. Yes He did. So Yes He can.

♫ Sometimes those voices try to tell me
I’m forgotten, and I’ve fallen
Too far from His hands
But I know what kind of God He is
And I’m trusting in His promises
I’m believing
And I’m singing
Yes He can ♫

Don’t believe those voices that tell you otherwise. It was a mere 15 years ago that I didn’t who God was – and is. I was far from Him. But He reached out for me, and I accepted Him as my rescuer – as my savior – as my Lord – as my God.

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
and He turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair –
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground,
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing –
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what He has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.
(Psalm 40:1-3 NLT)

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.

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 16TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us continue to move forward towards the bright light of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

This weekend I hope to finish writing my next sermon that I hope to preach to my church family in the coming weeks on the good Kings Uzziah and Jotham of the land of Judah. They were Father and Son, and they were even Kings at the same time – sharing a coregency for about 11 years. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned about them from the Bible.

I also want to get started on writing my next sermon after that – tentatively titled “Salvation & Hope”.

“Well there you go again Reverend Chris – preaching about that salvation !”

My next sermon after next will begin a new message series on the Apostle Peter – starting with his first letter. The first 12 verses are all about salvation from Christ, and how great it is.

This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. (1 Peter 1:10 NLT)

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.

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 09TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and all that He has done for us.

From Proverbs 31:25-31 – “A Virtuous And Capable Wife” – and as the Bible says:

She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.
When she speaks – her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
She carefully watches everything in her household, and suffers nothing from laziness.
Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:
“There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all !”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last. But a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

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.
