He will compensate for any problems that are a result of us following His rules, including all current revelation (whether its from Him or just the prophet).<br /><br />And the law of tithing comes from the Old Testament, it was a Jewish thing way before it was a Mormon thing :P I agree that the Church might not be using our tithing for the correct purposes, but I have a testimony that when I pay tithing I always receive financial blessings.<br /><br />Things are going to change, and for now we have to walk the thin line of following Christ and the Church leaders to the best of our ability. The Church will collapse without the last of the truly Christlike people. We need to open the door and keep reaching our hands out to those who've been pushed away.Over the Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368253163507383272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-67947476966168391222009-06-22T06:12:25.654-06:002009-06-22T06:12:25.654-06:00Thank you Sarah for not deleting this post.

I guess I was feeling guilty about what might be thought of as evil speaking against my stake president. I think he is a great man and has given some wonderful talks; I just happen to not agree with his most recent one.<br /><br />Thank you for reminding me, though, what my blog is really about, and helping me to stay true to its purpose!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765524620705643823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-54782945425266803212009-06-21T22:04:41.394-06:002009-06-21T22:04:41.394-06:00I really like reading your blog, because it seems ...I really like reading your blog, because it seems to me that you put a lot of thought into the things you write, and I appreciate that. I find too myself thinking a lot about the church and the gospel and wondering if they've drifted too far apart. It's nice to read your perspective on it.

Have fun. cheer someone up (not me. go FIND someone in your ward and CHEER them up!) <br />ever yours (well not really)<br /> - Joylin ;)<br /><br /><br />[that said, and lest you get the wrong impression of me or us as a family, my husband and kids will probably be home tomorrow while I'm playing in sacrament meeting. then I'll probably come home and trade places with my husband. he has to teach gprinciples tomorrow. we have a hard time getting all three of the kids ready lately..and baby likes to nap right when it's time to leave. those are our excuses. we have more if you need 'em] <br />anyway - just giving a clearer picture of who I am (and who we are). ;-)<br /><br />really. be more Positive! so depressing...<br /><br />you can leave - and blame your local leader for 'making' you leave. i'll blame you for 'making' me depressed.
