Pierced

  The Crucifixion (and subsequent resurrection) of Jesus Christ is an event unmatched by any other. It is the 'cornerstone', the pivotal point of history. To Christians, it represents the absolute core of their faith. The Crucifixion is viewed as the ultimate sacrifice where Jesus took the burden of humanity's sins upon Himself. The Resurrection confirms that this sacrifice was accepted by His Father, giving us victory over sin and death, through Jesus' death on the cross. Christians believe that through Jesus' death, the punishment for their sin was paid in full. They call this The Gospel or Good News. The Resurrection means that believers in Jesus are declared righteous before God. Because Jesus conquered death, Christians hold the promise of their own future resurrection and eternal life in heaven. If this seems all a little weird and religious to you...it is, and it's not! The Christian religion, is more of a relationship than a religion. Yes, it seems a lit...

Safety

Image
 Dawnian Productions has just completed, 'Safety', our latest video (now on YouTube). This is the first of a trilogy about the situation Christians currently find themselves in the world in which we live. This situation of soft hatred, vitriolic expressions, sarcasm, being unwelcome in public and work spaces, the need to be re-educated, has happened relatively quickly (in the West).However it is commonplace for Christians in many countries all around the world. What does this look like and what does it mean? The Christian faith, and those who love Jesus, are seen as problematic in our society. Christians are bigoted, hateful, simple-minded (in the worst sense of that expression), ignorant, weak, believers of fables, unintelligent, dangerous, unwelcome, narrow-minded, God-Botherer, hypocrite, fundamentalist (and the list could go on!). Most of us appreciate a smiling face, friendliness, a warm relationship, being accepted. We, at Dawnian Productions, are aware that this is chang...

A Pastoral Care Story

Image
  A Pastoral Care Story. This is Dawnian Production's latest video. It now can be viewed on YouTube. This Pastoral Care Story is part of my own Chaplain experience over the years. It speaks of an interaction (representative of many different pastoral care connections) where a person, who was in spiritual distress due to loss of meaning, was able to sense God again in the reconnection to something (a Cello) that had provided significance and purpose in his life. Dawnian Productions plans to make 'A Pastoral Care Story', the first in a series, to encourage people in their own interactions with others. Be blessed as you listen, reflect, take time to hear the 'heart cry' of others and be intentional and gentle as you pursue God's purpose that He has for everyone. 

My Enemy

Image
  My Enemy. In Luke 6:27-28, Jesus spoke these words '...Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who spitefully use you.' As Christians, these words are very familiar to us, but when one compare these words to what one sees and reads about around the world - how people, governments, nations and cultures interact with each other, one sees the opposite. I have never seen a time where there has been as much blatant disrespect, open hatred and animosity, acrimony, ill-will, antagonism, contempt, hostility and prejudice, as I have seen in today's world. One could spend a lifetime analysing why this is. One is drawn to 2 Timothy Chapter 3 in the Bible (We would encourage you to read it) where such things are foreshadowed in the last days.  One doesn't have to be a Christian to notice these things.  Dawnian Productions has just completed our latest video, 'My Enemy' This is now on YouTube. If you are reading this, ...

Eternity

Image
 Eternity...the latest from Dawnian Productions and now on YouTube. Every heartbeat is a whisper of passing time. Every sunrise is one less that we will ever see. We build, we strive, we dream, yet all of our days slip quietly toward the horizon of eternity. The world teaches us to live for the moment, but the Bible calls us to live in the light of God's Word, and to follow in the footsteps of our Saviour and Lord. Eternity is not a distant idea - it is the destination of every soul. Beyond the final breath, stands the God who knows our name, sees our brokenness, and, through Jesus Christ, offers forgiveness, mercy and everlasting life to every person on planet Earth. The cross reaches further than death, and the empty tomb declares that the Grace, Mercy, Love and Faithfulness of God, is over and above all. Our prayer, at Dawnian Productions, is that you will see beyond the distractions we face each day, to the One who stepped into time that we might share Eternity with Him. '....
