Doctrine and Covenants 118-120

(December 10, 2009)
What surprised me in reading these sections was that it is a standing law that all who come unto Zion are obligated to pay a tenth of all they have, and then an additional tenth of all of their increase thereafter.  That makes sense, as the wealth they have built up over their lifetimes has not been tithed, but I didn’t know that.  I don’t know how many people do, and I don’t know whether most new converts pay this tithing of their surplus when they come unto Zion or not.
