The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints promises the Lord will pour out his blessings upon those who pay an honest tithe.
Some members of the LDS Church take that to mean they will be blessed in their financial lives - that the Lord will reward their faithfulness with the riches of the world.
Yet LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley in December 1989, while a counselor in the churchs First Presidency, reminded members that paying an honest tithe does not mean the Lord will help them realize their dreams of "a fine house, a Rolls Royce and a condominium in Hawaii.
"The Lord will open the windows of heaven according to our need, and not according to our greed," Hinckley said. "If we are paying tithing to get rich, we are doing it for the wrong reason."
The basic purpose for tithing is to provide the church with the means needed to carry on the Lords work, he said, explaining the blessing to the giver is an ancillary return that may not be always in the form of financial or material benefit. - Steven Oberbeck
