Multiplied. He multiplies a few voices to reach many… And when we’re truly together, it’s not just a matter of addition—the reach is exponential. Think of the variety of “flavors” in our musical genre’s alone and the millions upon millions of people on earth who identify with each one of them. Gospel music is actually a big, beautiful thing, and with Jesus the sum of its pieces is staggering.

Love. Amplification requires many parts working together, but it doesn’t happen without a connection to its main source of power. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love (1 John 4:8, NKJV). If we have the potential to influence and reach millions upon millions, if it’s not the sound of love we’re putting out there, then it is just noise. We carry pieces of heaven to this broken earth to rescue, restore, and echo His Word.

We can’t wait join together and reflect on another year of sharing the love of Jesus through music—stay tuned to CCMmagazine.com and our social channels for everything Dove Awards.

Blessings,
