OUT OF THE BIBLE BELT
The belt was placed so tight that the individual had trouble with his righteous walk.
A belt designed to hold up the values and teachings of this Christian;
Residing and Ministering in a particular region deemed more holy than most.
Got bold and declared the land to be special enough to prevent that ever- present sin.
Simply! By Residing and Ministering in a particular region deemed more holy than most?
Recognized for the Southern Baptist that tightened their belts in support of black slavery-
Whom broke away to form a Convention of like followers and believers of such things.
Confused with their practice of Christianity, and holding to a creed without wavering-
Abusive Christian Philosophy joined in marriage with Social and Political Conservatism.
In the latter days of history, the Belt was loosened to be much more inclusive-
Producing ministry efforts that led to progressive kingdom building and real change.
A belt that was once restricted so tight, and held to be a wonderful Southern exclusive-
Now leading the way in the New Crusades, and effectively causing global change!
Television evangelist speaking with that bold, unique, slow southern draw-
Sowing that good seed, just for a World-Wide captive audience to take- in and see.
Ordained by God to carry a message of repentance, and delivering it all so raw-
Took that gospel Out of The Bible Belt, and gave it to you and me.
