Tithing is a tenth part of a person’s annual increase given to the Lord through the Church. Tithing funds are used to build churches and temples, to sustain missionary work, and to build the kingdom of God on earth.
When we pay tithing, we are promised blessings. I beleive that the Lord DOES bless us when we follow his commandments. We have been paying tithing; ten percent of our income, to the Church. This is not just a way to give to the Church our finances, but it is a way for us to show our commitment to the Lord. That no matter what we are going through we will honor our promise to God of paying our tithing, and in return he will bless us for our obedience.
The Widows Mite
"And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living" (Mark 12: 42-44)
