A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

Sometimes we make the same mistake over and over and over again. With exactly the same disastrous results. A bit like Pavlov’s dogs. Stimulus - response. Stimulus - response. A vicious circle and it causes pain repeating the same mistakes all the time. So how do we break out of that cycle?? Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at pain, from a different perspective.

Going from childhood through to adulthood - well, the idea is that we’re supposed to grow up. To mature - but the reality is that many of us actually never grow up - at least in some parts of our lives. And that immaturity - well it’s a pain. It causes us pain - and, just quietly - it’s a pain in the neck for everybody else. Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at pain, from a different perspective.

Not sure if you’ve ever noticed but growing up - well, growing up is hard work. Going from this little baby completely dependent on our parents, to a fully-fledged adult. And there are growing pains along the way. Why is that - what causes that pain, why did God make it like that? And what can we learn from it?

I think we all have a packet of aspirin or some other form of painkiller in the cupboard. And that’s okay for the occasional headache. But these days, we’re into the instant fix. Rapid relief. And when it comes to deep pain, emotional pain - we sometimes focus on the symptom ? but what about the disease? Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at pain, from a different perspective.

As much as we hate to admit it - pain is a part of life. We all travel through pain sometimes. So - what is it, what causes it and what can we do about it? As surprising as it may seem, God actually has a lot to say about the pain in our lives. And some of it, we can avoid altogether.

Okay, so Jesus promised us an abundant life. And so often we’re head down, pedalling so hard, we lose sight of the big picture. If there is a heaven and a hell ? and eternity to go with them ? then the reality of heaven and hell is infinitely bigger than the reality of here and now. What about life then and there?

Sometimes as we’re travelling through things in life that we’d rather not be travelling through, we can get to imagining that any promise of God’s blessing, of an abundant life ? must be a promise for some time way off in the future. Certainly not for here and now! But what if I told you that He means it absolutely ? for here and now.

I spent a good chunk of my life looking for happiness, but I never found what I was looking for. Problem with happiness is that it’s linked to our circumstances - can’t be happy if something difficult is happening. Turns out, I wasn’t looking for happiness at all. What I longed for, was joy. It’s just back then, I didn’t realise that, because I didn’t know what Joy was. Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at this whole 'abundant life' thing from a different perspective.

I don’t think there’s a single person on this planet, who doesn’t want to have peace in their lives. A cessation of conflict and wrangling and fighting. Of course conflict comes in many different forms - the worst, is a conflict with God. Turns out that one of the things Jesus wants to bless us with, is peace.

My hunch is, whether we like it or not, that we’ve been conditioned into thinking that God’s blessing has something to do with being healthy, wealthy and wise, and yet God’s idea of blessing is something entirely different. It begins with the blessing of righteousness. Sounds odd, but there’s an abundance of blessing in this thing called 'righteousness' Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at this whole 'abundant life' thing from a different perspective.
