Unit 1 Choice 1: Philippians 1-4. Find Solutions in the
Scriptures to Life’s Challenges
·
People
sometimes argue and complain over petty matters in church meetings or
throughout the week:
-
If we have the spirit of Christ upon us and are
seeking out His gospel then the things we think should be argued will become
less of what is important and following the love of God will become what is
important. Something else we can do if there is an argument is to take someone
else’s opinion nicely instead of becoming upset. Be open to what is being said
and give your own opinion in a kind way.

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.
-Their parents
testimony came because they acted on what they believed so they could have a
testimony. Children need to be taught how to have their own testimony and how
to act on what they believe because just thinking and professing their parents
testimony it isn’t enough, they need to show what they believe to God and in
doing this can help them create their own testimony.
·
An
investigator is considering joining the Church, but his family will no longer
associate with him if he does.
-
As hard as it is to leave family the scriptures
show that it is better to follow Christ and leave what you know behind than it
is to continue going down the path that you are, especially now that you
understand the gospel.

How is
this writing assignment an example of the principle taught in 2 Nephi 3:3?
-
It’s an example of following the Holy Ghost,
because if you believe in the Holy Ghost it will teach you and guide you to
understanding of other things, thus it will give you peace in an argument,
understanding of the gospel so you have your own testimony and the strength to
let go of what is behind you to look forward to what God has promised you.
Unit 2 Choice 2
2 Timothy 1:1-10.
Paul’s Affection for Timothy
1. What parallels are there in the counsel and
expressions given by both Paul and Mormon?
-
They pray for their safety, they encourage
continuing the work of God and to not be discouraged by what is happening
around them, to keep their faith.
2. Why do you think Paul noted Timothy’s
grandmother’s and mother’s faith?
-It was mentioned
before that Timothy’s mother was a Jew and that she believed. His grandmother
and mother must have been the ones to teach Timothy the gospel which has given
him the strength and knowledge he needs to be an apostle of Christ.
3. What assurance did Paul give timothy about “the
spirit of fear”? How can this counsel and assurance help you in your life?
-It is not by
fear that God works, it is great power that is shown by love and that the
apostles have this with them along with a sound mind that helps them to do
their work. If they have a sound mind with them while they go about doing the
work of God, rather than the fear of doing the work, then they are given power
to do the works of God.
4. Why did Paul love and bless the “house of
Onesiphorus” with the Lord’s mercy?
-
Because the house of Onesiphorus took care of
Paul and helped him rest while he was in Rome. And the man of the house sought
him out seeking the gospel (it seems)
5. What did Paul bless him with?
-
With the mercy of the Lord.
6. How does Matthew 11:29-30 and Jacob 1:8
help you better understand what the “chain” is (yoke or cross) that Paul spoke
of in 2 Timothy 1:16?
-
It could be the gospel or to be a missionary for
the gospel.
