The Law of Tithing – Part Fifteen
Enjoyment of Tithe-paying
Every man who pays his tithing should enjoy paying it. the gospel of Christ is a gospel of enjoyment. “Men are that they might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:25). When one pays his tithing without enjoyment, he is robbed of a part of the blessing. He must learn to give cheerfully, willingly, and joyfully, and his gift will be blessed. In order that he may receive more enjoyment, he needs to pay more frequently. Why deprive oneself of the joy that come from this voluntary giving until the end of the year, when by payments throughout the year we may increase and enhance not only the joy of our giving but the practice of it.
Elder Stephen L. Richards
