What Is the Responsible Thing To Do?

In a time of crisis, we find ourselves asking, “What is the responsible thing to do?” It might not be phrased exactly like that, but in some way, we ask and then act out our personal answer. Last week, CBS NEWS reported on Spring Break Students celebrating their youth down in Florida. Their answer to the question was to live in the moment and live for self.

Two days ago, CNN and NPR reported about another social gathering in Kentucky, a group of young adults held a “coronavirus party” after being told to practice social distancing. Their answer to the question was like that of the spring break crowd. “It’s My Life!” I’m sure there are countless stories like this of individuals living for self and ignoring the concern for the many.

The Bible has a warning for this type of living in the Biblical Book of Galatians:

Galatians 6:7-8 (NLT) – Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

One thing is true about what we are learning from the spread of COVID-19. Life is fragile.

What Is the Responsible Thing To Do?

The law of Sowing and Reaping is very clear, Selfish living will lead to pain and suffering. The Pain and suffering from selfishness is not limited to the individual, it has exponential ramification. There Will Be Collateral Damage for Selfishness.

Israel Tour

“In February 2017, my wife and I took a trip to Israel through our church, organized by Terry Porter. He did a phenomenal job with planning — getting us there and back and, of course, everything in between. Touring and exploring the country was awesome, and for every place we visited, he would reference the Bible, bringing it more to life! Terry is a man excited about teaching and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout the time I have known him, his love and humility have grown deeper and is reflected in his maturity.”

Church Connection

Terry came in and spoke directly to the heart of our church, clarifying biblical and healthy instructions to carry loads weighing us down. His candor, common sense, and demeanor help you realize that just because you are broken, you are not broke, healing can be found and spiritual health can be restored. Terry challenged, encouraged, and provided directional hope to living a God-honoring life once again.

Engaging. Sympathetic. Wise. That is how Terry impacted me and other men who recently listened as he shared his journey through life. Having hiked through valleys of adversity and failure, Terry has a unique ability to connect with the hearts of others. Every man received useful insight into life and how we can practically live out our Christian faith. I highly recommend Terry for groups of any size.

Relationship & Marriage Consulting

The time spent with Terry and his Health from the Inside Out philosophy has been significant and life changing. The videos, tools, and resources; along with Terry's guidance throughout our sessions have been insightful, helpful and valuable. We have grown in our personal, mental and relational health. Terry has given us tools to use in our communication with one another that have made us aware of how our words, actions or lack of actions, have affected each other in the past and how to avoid negative habits long formed. Thank You Terry.
