It’s not About the Pain, but What it Prepared me For.
Posted on April 19, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
There are specific moments in time that are very vivid memories; when I recognized Christ as my Lord, when we were married, the births of our children and grandchildren, graduations, and my ordination. There are other not so happy events that stand out as well… a resignation, illnesses, family conflicts, and deaths. The thing that […]

When Two Plus Two Equals Two Times Two
Posted on April 18, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
“Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?” Proverbs 23:29 (ESV) I kinda make it no secret that I spend my Monday nights attending Garden State Bible School. Anyone who is on my social media feed sees my captioned photo of […]

A New Creation
Posted on April 17, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV) In Greek, the word ‘creation’ is ‘ktisis’ used for denoting the ‘establishment of a new administration.’ In context then, someone who has placed their faith in Jesus Christ, having entered […]

A Time to Pray and a Time to Act
Posted on April 16, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
In Joshua 7 there is a very interesting story. I can remember only one time ever hearing a message on the real intent of the story. Joshua and his army just had the miraculous victory over Jericho. Their next battle was to be at the small town of Ai. The spies reported that it would […]

A Life Worth Living…
Posted on April 12, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
“…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”~ Jesus (Matthew 28:20) I hear this question often as I teach, “Is life really worth living?” Some students will say it out loud in conversation and others will weave the idea through their papers. The discouraging part is that it’s not […]

Who Do You Worship?
Posted on April 11, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His Name. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Psalm 29:2 I heard a question recently that captured my attention: do you invent the god you want or do you worship the God Who is? Here’s the god I want. I want him, if he is […]

Every day Bread….
Posted on April 10, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
One of the vivid memories I have of my childhood is waking to the smell of homemade oatmeal bread. There is nothing like it… it’s the aroma of home, and family, warmth, and mom’s love. When you had a piece with butter or homemade jelly on it, it was a meal in itself. I could […]

Red Letters
Posted on April 9, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
“IT IS FINISHED!” Do you have a “life verse”? I probably have had dozens over the years. It seems like there is always a select verse to minister to me at different times of life. Recently I was listening to a new song, afterward, without thinking about it, I was singing a verse of the […]

Alone
Posted on April 8, 2019 by Erin Culleny in Freedom Fighters
I had the privilege of being on our America’s Keswick Israel trip, and my brain is on overload trying to process all of the things we saw and heard during our time in the Holy Land. It was particularly meaningful to be there at this time of the year especially thinking about the events leading […]
