Why Tithing? Does God Really Need My Money? (Ep. 2)
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I often get asked questions about tithing and why I feel so strongly about it. I can only speak for myself, not as an official Church representative, but here are my responses to some of those commonly asked questions about tithing. This short video certainly doesn't answer every question, so I'd encourage you to continue seeking truth on this subject, while also remembering that the Lord often asks us to obediently trust Him while we wait for further light and knowledge. Hope it helps! PLEASE COMMENT BELOW: How has the practice of tithing been a blessing in your life?
