Off the Record: Commentary on the Journal of the Mississippi Baptist Convention AND Preaching Preview

We have been in New York all week so I will practice a little word economics by posting the sermon previews and "Off the Record" together.

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

The Baptist Record did a good job of boiling down the 2006 convention. I commend William Perkins for his editorial work. Three items will have a real impact on all Mississippi Baptists.
1. A record budget was passed. The budget committee made up for last year's freeze in a big way. There was no static over the request.
2. R.I.P G.B.A. Gulf Shore Baptist Assembly will be closed for good and a new conference center will be built in another location. I understand this move but am sad to see GBA go. Meredith and I have many wonderful memories of GBA. I think we share these memories with almost all Mississippi Baptists.
3. Dr. Cooper was re-elected as President. Dr. Cooper has an infectious passion. I think he is doing a great job as Convention President.
