"In December, articles and blogs address various aspects of Christmas. We would like to address another important December event for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—tithing settlement. While few people have as many positive nostalgic memories of tithing settlement as they do of Christmas, there are profound spiritual aspects of tithing as a way of giving back to God in gratitude for what God has given us."   Loren Marks reads the article, "Why Do They Tithe? Perspectives on Giving Back to God" which was originally published in Meridian Magazine on December 10, 2019.
