What's the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

Jeff Street Baptist Community at Liberty. It's a confusing mouthful for a group that might better be known as the Church, formerly of Jeff Street, formerly Baptists (and Catholics, Presbyterians and given-up-hope) which is now at Liberty, literally and figuratively. We are a mutt. The wretched refuse. The divine community. God's Kingdom come. Welcome. [Disclaimer: The views within this blog are doubtless pretty cool. Nonetheless, views expressed are those of the individual and not Jeff Street.]

That indeed is a logical statement. Let's not stop there, let's take it one step further...
Mark 8:36
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Let's follow Jesus - not only did He meet physical needs, He met their spiritual needs as well. While we can't do the spiritual, we can point folks to Jesus who can and still meets spiritual needs today...
[Jesus said] "I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat.
"If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance."
And His disciples answered Him, "Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?"
And He was asking them, "How many loaves do you have?"
Mark 8:2-5
The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25:40
and on and on...
