Tithe: Its Simplicity & Beauty of the System

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

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; Hebrews 7:1,2

"God's plan in the tithing system is beautiful in its simplicity and equality. All may take hold of it in faith and courage, for its divine in its origin. In it are combined simplicity and utility, and does not require depth of learning to understand and execute it......He has given his blood; He asks our silver. it is through His poverty that we are made rich: and will we refuse to give back to Him His own gifts?...Systematic benevolence should not be made systematic compulsion. It is freewill offerings that are acceptable to God." Testimonies for the Church vol.3, p.388,390,395
