Spreading the Love!

Today’s Motivation comes from CAIN and their latest song, ‘Any More.’ The song was co-written by the Cain siblings, Madison, Taylor and Logan, with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West.

Here’s what Taylor told CCM Magazine last May about this song, “As a new mom, I’m starting to understand the love of God a little bit better. When I look at my daughter Stevie, I don’t need anything in return from her. There’s nothing she could do to change the amount of love that I have for her. The enemy lies to us, tries to tell us that we’ve made too many mistakes, that we’re too far gone, and that God couldn’t love us anymore. We hope when you hear this song, you can sing it victoriously knowing the truth is that God couldn’t love you any more than He does right now.”

Today’s winners:
Mike from Mount Vernon – answered this question: A winged figure is often associated with Valentine’s Day. The Greeks called him Eros but today we know him by what name? The answer? Cupid.
Mike wins a certificate for a dozen carnations to Flowers For You.
Lisa from Mount Vernon – answered this question: Shakespeare mentions Valentine’s Day in which of his plays? Ironically, this play deals with revenge, not love. The answer? Hamlet.
Lisa wins a WNZR goodie bag with a t-shirt and a $5 gift certificate to the Gospel Christian Life Shop.

Believe For It!

This is today’s song-inspired Monday Motivation! From the incredible CeCe Winans!

They say this mountain can’t be moved (refers to Matthew 17:20 and 21:21; Mark 11:23 – ‘faith like a mustard seed’)
They say these chains will never break
But they don’t know You like we do
There is power in Your name (Jeremiah 32:17 – ‘nothing is too hard for you!’)

We’ve heard that there is no way through
We’ve heard the tide will never change
They haven’t seen what You can do
There is power in Your name
So much power in Your name (Hebrews 1:3 – ‘The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word’)

Move the unmovable
Break the unbreakable
God we believe
God we believe for it

From the impossible
We’ll see a miracle (Genesis 18:14 – Sarah will have a son)
God we believe
God we believe for it

We know that hope is never lost…oh…
For there is still an empty grave
God we believe no matter what
There is power in Your name (Matthew 19:26 – “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”)
So much power in Your name

Move the unmovable
Break the unbreakable
God we believe
God we believe for it

From the impossible
We’ll see a miracle
God we believe
God we believe for it (hey)

You are the way
When there seems to be no way
We trust in You
God You have the final say, yeah
