Do You Pray for God to “Break” You?

by Rebecca Davis | Oct 11, 2016 | challenging the status quo, our New Covenant identity, sanctification by faith alone, seeking Jesus, untwisting Scriptures

Someone was telling me about this a while back. Praying for God to break him. “What do you mean by that?” I asked. “And where is it in the Bible?” He was probably taken aback by my questions, and didn’t know the answer. He just prayed it...

Note to Self: Stop Saying “I Can’t”

by Rebecca Davis | Apr 14, 2015 | challenging the status quo, news and musings, sanctification by faith alone

At some point in my life—not that long ago, I’m afraid—I realized I said these two words a lot. I can’t memorize like I used to. I can’t keep anything in my head for more than about ten seconds. I can’t take on one more thing....

by Rebecca Davis | Jul 15, 2014 | challenging the status quo, sanctification by faith alone

Free From Sin

by Rebecca Davis | Mar 26, 2014 | challenging the status quo, sanctification by faith alone, seeking Jesus

“How can I pray for you?” I asked my friend. She mentioned a few things. Then she hesitated. “I have so much trouble with sin,” she said. “I keep sinning. I feel suspicious of people, that they don’t like me. I’m so jealous—-I see other people doing well, and I feel...
