'Dance with the Devil' by Brittany Bexton: Breaking Free from Destructive Cycles


Brittany Bexton's new song 'Dance with the Devil' is a powerful song that we believe you want to hear. Brittany, a Nashville singer/songwriter, digs deep into her own pain and the heartache that she sees in so many other people who are in abusive relationships. She knows how hard it is to watch loved ones suffer. She says, 'Kick that devil to the curb, you deserve so much better!' This song is her way of shouting out all of the things that she couldn't say before, and hopefully giving others the courage to break free from their own destructive cycles.

Brittany Bexton - Dance with the DevilThe message applies to a broader scope than abusive relationships. It also applies to any situation where you are controlled or pushed to do things against your will. E.g., situations where partners stop you from living your faith or limit you to becoming the best version of you. That is also a form of abuse!

The lyrics are powerful, especially when you realize where Brittany is coming from. She sings, 'You've been pulled through hell long enough, when someone chooses to hurt you, it isn't love,' and you can almost feel the weight lifting off your shoulders when you realize that you're not the only one that is going through this kind of situation. Brittany points out that it's not your job to fix whatever is already broken. When talking is getting you nowhere, then your best action is to find your worth and walk away from people that hurt you.

This line is really striking: 'You think if you spin around again, you'll make the devil dizzy and stop the sin.' In other words, you can't change people who won't see the truth. It's impossible to dance with the devil and not get hurt.

We suggest that you listen to 'Dance with the Devil.' When you realize that your dancing with the devil, may this song remind you that you're not alone and that you can get through it with God's help.

(Related scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13; Ephesians 6:13; James 4:7)

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"Man of Sorrows" by Lauren Gruwell: Jesus Feels Your Pain With You

Jesus knows your pain before you speak it. Lauren Gruwell knows what it is when Jesus feels unreachable. Trauma in her childhood left her with deep sorrow, and for years Jesus seemed too far away. She didn’t think she was good enough to come near Him. Are you also familiar with that feeling? Do you sit in the dark, tears falling, and wonder: “… no one knows but if they did, would they care?” Lauren shares: “It wasn’t until He changed me, that I realized that HE has felt all the pain I’ve ever felt, and that He loves me regardless.” The Savior that she thought she couldn’t approach had already walked her road. This song, “Man of Sorrows”, grew from that discovery, and it carries a promise for anyone who hurts: “And all of my hurt, He felt it first…” . Jesus hurts right beside you. In Isaiah 53:3, we read that He was “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” Then comes the line that changes everything: “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Our griefs. Our sorrow...

"No Other Name" by Joakim Arenius and Josef Tingbratt: Hope That Outlasts the Darkness

Darkness grips hard, but one name holds harder. Where do you turn when your strength runs out? Josef Tingbratt and Joakim Arenius wrote “No Other Name” for that moment. Their song follows a man who is “Restless weary and alone,” “So many miles from home.” Inner voices that treat him unkindly. Then a night raid brings brutal violence: “They tried to break his body down, but they could not break his crown.” Notice what he does when “darkness gets its grip.” He calls Jesus: “Jesus, Jesus hear my cry.” No fancy words, just a cry. The song grew where two struggles meet. Some believers face ridicule or violence for following Jesus. Others fight a quieter battle with loneliness and doubt. Both struggles need the same answer. Peter answered the rulers who questioned him in Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” He spoke with threats hanging over him. His confidence never rested on comfortable c...
