A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

Jesus had some pretty inconvenient things to say. One of them was this: that we should be prepared to lay down our lives for our friends. These days I’m sure, someone would suggest He needs a PR consultant to put a better spin on this. But ? I’m not so sure that that’s what Jesus had in mind.

Love ? love lies at the heart of who God is and why He sent Jesus to this earth. And one of the things that Jesus said and demonstrated through what He did ? was that we should love one another ? in particular to love our friends. Hmmm. Easier said than done.

Let’s face it, people can be a pain in the neck can’t they? And so what many of us do is we isolate ourselves. Oh, we might be surrounded by lots of people, but we isolate ourselves emotionally. And yet the truth is that none of us is an island. None of us can do it on our own. And when we try living that way, it saps our strength. What if ? what if friends can make us stronger? Join B...

Many of us enjoy a bit of space on our own from time to time ? especially we men. But with all the pressures of life, long hours at work, a long commute, too tired ? all that stuff going on, far too many of us find ourselves isolated. We just don’t have the time or the energy to connect with friends. But what if, what if it’s not good for us to be all alone? Join Berni, as he takes a l...

Whether we’re one of those people who loves being around lots of people, or perhaps whether we’re more of a loner ? we all need friends. That’s because we’ve been created to be part of a community. But sadly these days, we find all sorts of reasons to opt out of friendship and community. Too busy, too tired, hurt once too often ? Join Berni, as he takes a look at friendship...
