"Always be active in the Church. I will give you a formula which will guarantee to a large extent your success in fulfilling that commitment. It is simple. It consists of just three words: Pay your tithing. Every bishop could tell you from his personal experience that when the members of the Church pay tithing, honestly, faithfully, they have little difficulty keeping the other commandments of God. I call it a benchmark commandment.
Lasting happiness is found only when we live the teachings of the gospel."
- Thomas S. Monson, September 7, 2003, CES fireside
I agree.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for the many, many blessings that come from paying tithing.
