“For the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.” James 1:20
I have never won an argument! Even though the person I am arguing with screams at me, “I give up, you win!” My deep emotions and my burdened heart tell me this is definitely not a victory. The person I have pitted myself against and I have not been drawn together. In fact, we have emotionally and spiritually been driven further apart. When disagreements erupt, the interaction between the parties involved is less than ideal.

Lesson 108 is titled, ‘To give and receive are one in truth.’ For many of us, service to our community is the way that Holy Spirit chooses for us to experience this. When I was a resident at a spiritual center in London and was asked to join the management team as marketing director, I thought it was because of my unique skill sets, which was true to an extent. What I discovered was that the management positions within the community were as, or even more, valuable to the people providing them (me in this case) as they were to the community being served. It taught me that one of the main purposes of a spiritual community is to provide opportunities for service to its members wherever possible. These people would in turn allow the organization to grow and extend the connections deeper and more broadly across the entire community.
