CHOICE ONE: Philippians 1-4. Find solutions to Life’s Challenges; For each of the following common challenges, write the counsel from Philippians that you would use to resolve it:

-People sometimes argue and complain over petty matters in church meetings of throughout the week.

We must all be of one accord, one mind. We should do nothing in strife and vainglory, let each esteem others better then themselves. Do all things without murmurings and disputes.

-Many youth feel that their parents’ testimony is sufficient for them. Since they have good parents they rely on them for all their spiritual strength.

Some day those parents, or those children will no longer be in the same house as us. We must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling...not relying on our parents’ testimonies.

-An investigator is considering joining the Church, but his family will no longer associate with him if he does.

One must forget those things which are behind, and reach for what is ahead. Nothing bad can possibly happen for joining Christ’s church. Considering losing the potential knowledge of the Savior if you didn’t join...

-How is this writing assignment an example of the principle taught in 2 Nephi 32:3?

We can learn all things from Christ, even these modern day questions. It’s amazing how the words of Christ are always applicable.
