Life Answer's found in the Scriptures

In the Book of Philippians, we can find some great counsel about to find answers to some of our issues in life.

Here are some common problems, as well as the counsel found in the scriptures.

      1.       People sometimes argue and complain over petty matters in chuch meetings or throughout the week

Counsel for this can be found in the second chapter of Philippians.  Paul counsels the people to be of one heart and one mind, not anyone esteeming themselves over another. This includes not murmuring or arguing with each other.   

2.  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

Counsel for this can also be found in Philippians 2.  Paul counsels for people to work out their own salvation, because no one else’s testimony can save you.

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

Counsel for this issue can be found in Philippians 3 and 4. Jesus also was rejected by many.  We should remember this and not deny Christ because we may be denied by others. This can also help us to gain appreciation for Jesus’s sacrifice.

We can find many answers to life’s questions throughout the scriptures. “Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.”  These three scenarios are just a few examples of the help we can get from reading the scriptures.
