Off the Record: Commentary on the Journal of the Mississippi Baptist Convention

William Perkins included a quote from Margaret McRae Lackey that I think is awesome. Her comment will serve as my commentary this week.

"Sisters, we have done passing well this year. But oh, the untouched multitude of Baptist women and children in Mississippi today whose souls are crying silently yet know not for what they are crying. Beloved, figures, however high-sounding they may be, are mere skeletons in the valley of dry bones unless there is breathed into them a spirituality that makes them living, breathing realities." Lackey 1917

Let's sing with Lackey, "Breath on me, breath on me, Holy Spirit breath on me."

Matt,
Thanks for the updates on the Baptist Record. Even though I am in FL it is still good to hear about what is going on in MS.

After keeping up with your blog, you have finally inspired me to have a blog of my own.
