It is interesting to note that among the words of Malachi given to the Nephites and Lamanites by the Lord is the commandment on tithing. (See 3 Nephi 24:8-12.) Speaking of the importance of paying one's tithing was Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve during the April 1990 general conference:
"We must be honest with the Lord as we pay our tithes. Faithful saints have learned that He will 'open . . . the windows of heaven, and pour . . . out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.' (Malachi 3:10.) The payment of tithing has less to do with money, but more to do with faith. Let us return one-tenth of our income to the Lord (see Doctrine and Covenants 119:4) and never be guilty of robbing Him by failing to pay our tithes. Then, we also should remember those in need and contribute generous fast offerings for their assistance."
