Tithes and offerings

As we approach the last month of the year, Latter-day Saints will soon be meeting with their bishops or branch presidents for tithing settlement.

For most of us, this will be a brief formality, although an important one, wherein we declare our status as full tithe payers, that we are right with the Lord in the fulfillment of this vital commandment.

In some cases, particularly where children are present, a conscientious bishop might take the opportunity to do a bit of teaching. If so, more than likely, he will turn to the oft-quoted passage in Malachi that begins with this verse:

"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings" (Malachi 3:8).
