THE LAW OF TITHING - AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT

This quote is spot on:

Do you realize that if you pay your tithing you will never have money as your number-one-goal? Maybe you are going to have to live a few years to think about that, but let me say that to you. If you will pay your 10 percent tithing and use the rest of the 90 percent, you will never have to worry about money because you will learn how to budget and live within your means. Money and wealth are insatiable. I have known men who, after they had the half-million-dollar home and the yacht and the airplane, would then want other possessions. They were never satisfied, and they went into debt millions of dollars satisfying that need. Why? Because they had not learned the law of sacrifice and the law of consecration at the lowest levels. That is what tithing is. What the Lord tells us is that if we cannot live the law, we are not ready for greater laws.

Robert D. Hales

 Interesting that he later becomes the Presiding Bishop over the whole Church.  One whom, one day would most likely be responsible for implementing the Law of Consecration - which is the higher law he is speaking of.
