Bing, What are you talking about? You know the law of tithing is “fire insurance.” You and I will burn up as stubble since we don’t have the proper “testimony.”
D&C 64: 23 Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man, and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming.
24 For after today cometh the burning—this is speaking after the manner of the Lord—for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not dspare any that remain in Babylon.
Oh s**t, I forgot. Those poor dummies in Topanga Canyon and down in San Diego for certain must have been sinners. One of our board members from San Diego gave us a healthy donation (tithe) last year. The fire missed his place in Rancho Santa Fe by one hundred yards.
I'm not certain, however I believe that our non-profit 501(c)3 will work for tithing as well. Tithing=10%. Let me see now, yep it says Religious and Charitable organizations. I gave them 100% of my income last year. Whew...I'm safe now! I know our non-profit is true.

That is abundance. But it's not the reason we should do it. That reason by it'self is a selfish one. We should do it because He asks us. If the Lord also promises to save us at his coming for said obedience and faith, fine by me. It’s in the Lord’s hands.
