More from the tithing story!
Okay this is an addition to my story about tithing. For myself it was a great ending! I helped to gain a stronger testimony of the gospel! My acquaintance from work gave a booklet about tithing and others beliefs about tithing. I started to read it and I was bored with it because there wasn't the spirit of happiness but rather the spirit of anger in it. At least that's what I felt. So I started to just skim through it and saw a sentence in there that there isn't any new revelation past the old testament. When I read that sentence, a thought popped in my head! It was amazing because, I know that there is both revelation from the Book of Mormon that is similar to what Malachi said about tithing, also the modern revelation for, the prophets and apostles. As sad as I feel for those who believe that there isn't any modern revelation, I was so happy to be reminded through the spirit, that we have the true gospel on the earth. I am so grateful that I am a part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that there is a prophet of God on the earth today and that we have additional revelation for our time.

Jamie, thank you for sharing your experience and testimony of tithing. Your testimony of tithing has strengthned my own testimony. I have come to know that paying an honest tithe is a true principle and even though sometimes I think holy cow we could buy a living room set with this! Jared and I always have what we need when we pay our tithing!! It's the times that we don't pay it right away that we have a hard time. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and I am so grateful that I have been blessed with the knowledge that God lives, and that there IS a prophet on the earth to lead his children. We are so blessed. I love you. -Rebekah
