Don’t Let The Devil Ride
Strait Street Music Group and The Leonard Lothlen Project present a new single featuring Leonard Lothlen on vocals titled Don’t Let The Devil Ride. The lyrics warn people to seek good over evil, choose right over wrong, and exercise kindness before malice. Don’t Let The Devil Ride challenges us to resist the temptations of sin and deadly forces that continue to plague our world. I know this is not a popular conversation or song. However, it should be every Christian’s anthem in these end times. There is only one who will try to hinder your success in life, steal your joy and distract you from claiming your victory. Yep! You guessed it, the Devil. Now I know magazines won’t share this good news, that you can be free to live your best life without practicing sin, but we are a staff of Christian believers. Therefore, we are excited when we hear a song like this.
