On Tithing
Heber J. Grant, In Conference Report, Apr. 1898, 16.
Tithing is merely a substitute – a very different thing; once we start making concessions and explanations, the whole thing becomes a farce. God takes a serious view of any attempt to cut corners: he struck Ananias and his wife dead not for failure to pay anything, but for “holding back” part of what they should have paid (Acts 5:2, 5, 10).
Hugh Nibley, Approaching Zion
“I want to say to you, if
you will be honest with the Lord, paying your tithing and keeping His
commandments, He will not only bless you with the light and inspiration of His
Holy Spirit, but you will be blessed in dollars and cents; you will be enabled
to pay your debts, and the Lord will pour out temporal blessings upon you in
great abundance.”
