When you come to Living Vine, you
may notice we don’t pass around an offering plate. Why?
We want to encourage you to
joyfully and selflessly give, not put you under pressure to put something in
the offering plate as it’s passed around.
We accomplish this with our Blessing Box located in the auditorium and
through Online Giving.
Why do we tithe? Tithing is about gratitude.
- We pay our tithes because we believe God owns everything in all creation (Psalm 24:1; Acts 17:24-25).
- We pay our tithes because we want to show gratitude and love (Mosiah 2:20).
- We pay our tithes because it shows faith in God (Malachi 3:10).
Tithing is an act of faith. It's not easy to part with your hard-earned money, but tithing is one way we can show our faith in God and that He will bless us for what we give Him. God promises blessings in return for your gifts.
If you give the Lord 10% of all you own, He has promised to open His windows and pour out blessings on you (Malachi 3:10).
That's because everything comes from Him anyway! Your gift is greatly multiplied. It helps build the kingdom. You are helping to further the work of God in your community and worldwide. God loves it when we give cheerfully, especially to those who need it most (2 Corinthians 9:7; D&C 104:15).
