How Do I Trust the Promise of God From A Place of Need?

Episode 482 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today's show: 1. I was in a discussion with my friend about our beliefs. According to her, women are not able to cut their hair or wear pants. She sent me Deuteronomy 22:5, which talks about women not wearing men's clothes and 1 Corinthians 11:6, which talks about women not cutting their hair. Are we supposed to follow these commands as Christians? If not, how do we make sense of these commands in the Bible? 2. What version of the Bible do you use on your show? 3. I've heard the phrase "faith is like a muscle, the more we use it, the stronger it gets" very often in the Christian community. While it sounds like a great analogy, I just don't see it in the Bible. In Romans 12:3 Paul says God has assigned a measure of faith. Am I missing something? 4. Jesus taught us not to worry about what we shall eat or wear. Philippians 4:19 promises that God will supply all our needs. Yet, believers in other countries starve to death because they didn't get the food they needed. I know the Bible is true, so there must be something wrong with my understanding. I desire to reconcile things I see with what I want to believe so that I can be confident in my trust of the Lord. He is certainly able to provide the basics for Christians, yet it seems like sometimes He doesn't. Please help! Resources Knowing God by J. I.
