A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

This week we’ve spoken about setting boundaries at work and in our marriages. The other relationship that is so incredibly important is our relationship with our kids. But how do you set boundaries with your children in this crazy, out of control world that’s changing so quickly around us?

The most important, profound, sublime and some days, the most challenging of all human relationships, is marriage. We think of it as something of an institution, but the reality is that each husband and wife have to make it up as they go. And all too often that doesn’t end well, because they just don’t set the right boundaries. Join Berni Dymet as he takes a look at the boundaries in your life, from a different perspective.

Work is one of the most important things that we do. It brings dignity to who we are, it gives us the chance to use our God?given gifts and abilities, and of course, it puts food on the table. BUT, if we don’t set boundaries around work, it can end up robbing us of everything that we hold dear in life.

When we’re under pressure, one of the things that we love to do, is to behave badly. In fact, sometimes, even when we’re not under pressure we still want to behave badly. And don’t we just find it so easy to rationalise, to justify that bad behaviour. The problem is that behaving badly, well, it tends to end badly as well.

Truth is a concept that is very much up for grabs these days. You’d think that truth is absolute, but these days, we have a much more pliable relationship with the truth.

Jesus once said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. I have to tell you, the first time I heard that, I thought it was crazy! I thought HE was crazy.

There are two equal and opposite mistakes that we can make when we’re suffering. We can over-spiritualise our situation, or under-spiritualise it. Mostly, it’s the latter.

The Easter story has two, equally important parts to it. The death of Jesus. And the resurrection of Jesus. Death AND resurrection.

As we get ready to celebrate Easter, the images of pomp and ceremony of crimson clad clergy in grand cathedrals probably springs to mind. But that very first Easter was nothing like that.

As we think about celebrating Easter, what we need to understand is that in the days heading into that very first Easter, celebration was the last thing on the Disciples’ minds.
