Since they have good parents, they rely on them for all their spiritual strength (see Philippians 2:12–15 and institute student manual commentary for Philippians 2:12, “Work out Your Own Salvation with Fear and Trembling” [pp. 361–62]).

We can stronger our testimony by listening to others, but we must have our own testimony to stand straight in the church, to light the world. Moreover, testimony is really personal, we all have different and it helps us to grow and gain the faith in Christ.

·        An investigator is considering joining the Church, but his family will no longer associate with him if he does (see Philippians 3:7–16; 4:13).

Christ will strengthen us when we act righteously. When we have faith in Christ, and pray with your sincere heart. He will answer! I saw many examples that God does answer, and soften the parents’ heart.
