A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

What sort of person makes the ideal friend? Have you ever thought about that? If we’re looking for a friend, what sort of person should that be? If we’re wanting to be a friend, what sort of person should we be? As it turns out, God has answers to both of those questions.

Let me ask you something today ? how do you go about choosing friends? My hunch is that quite a few of us have never really thought about it too much. We just have ? friends. But what if some of them aren’t the sorts of people who make good friends? What if those people are actually draining us, rather than doing what good friends do ? making us stronger?

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?

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?

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 ?

You and I both have many thing in this world that we’d kind of like to have, but we can’t afford. And at some point, the temptation creeps in to acquire those things through dishonesty.

Jesus kind of propounds some pretty radical views it turns out, about how we use our money - kind of an 'all-in', 'put it all on the line' approach. Can make us squirm quite frankly.

Been talking on the program these last couple of weeks about money and giving to God’s work. I guess there are quite a number of people who’ve said to themselves - you know that guy on the radio is right. I need to be more committed financially to God’s work. And the question that then immediately arises is - how much should we give? Good question.

You’d think that the more money you have, the easier it is to give some of it away. Turns out though that for many, that just isn’t true. The more we have, the more we’re seduced into wanting to hang onto it ? and then, in fact, the more it hangs on to us. It’s a tyranny - a tyranny that we need to walk away from.

It’s nice to work hard and earn money and enjoy the fruits of that. That’s good and it’s right and actually it’s what God says in the Bible. And it’s also nice to give something back - to those less fortunate than us perhaps. The question is - how do we give? Do we give out of our surplus, or out of the money that really, we need for ourselves?

In this world we learn pretty quickly that winning is good, losing is bad. Fair enough. But sometimes winning is losing and losing is winning. That’s actually what Jesus said.
