So ... what does this have to do with Christmas? Well, as it turns out ... everything! Join Berni Dymet as he takes a look at your Christmas - from a Different Perspective.

I don’t know if you’ve ever thought of this, but on the surface of things, Christmas is a crazy idea! I mean, what exactly was God thinking by sending His Son to become a man - and to be born in some drafty, smelly shed out the back of Bethlehem.

You know that first Christmas ... it didn’t just happen. It wasn’t like God hadn’t told His people that He was going to send them a Saviour. It’s just that ... well, they were so focussed on the here and now, they really hadn’t stopped to consider the big picture.

Well, at some point in our lives, eventually, we come to the realisation that the idea, the promise of overnight success that the world has been dangling under our noses is an empty promise. It happens to all of us, eventually. And at that point, what we need is hope. Not a vague, uncertain hope, but a rock-solid, absolutely certain hope.

When you think about it, pride and impatience are two sides of the one coin. Maybe that’s why so many people are in such a hurry to become an overnight success. Problem is, our plan isn’t always God’s plan, and impatience leads to an enormous amount of frustration.

As a theoretical concept, we all believe in character-building. It’s a good idea. It’s a good thing. Sure! But as a practical exercise, character building, almost always hurts. And when it’s us that’s hurting, character building doesn’t seem like such a good idea Join Berni Dymet as he takes a look at the good plans God has for your life, from a different perspective.

You’ve heard that saying, haven’t you - Dear God, give me patience ... NOW! It’d be really, really nice if we could learn patience instantly. In fact it’d be even better if we didn’t need to learn it at all. But sadly, when it comes to setbacks and delays, trials and temptations, there’s really only one way to learn patience ... and that’s the hard way Join Berni Dymet as he takes a look at the good plans God has for your life, from a different perspective.

That’s it, I’ve had it. I only ever try to do the right thing, and each and every time God puts obstacles in my road! ... Have you ever thought that? Sure you have. So have I.
