No Excuse for Neglect in Payment of Tithes . The Lord has always required this response to His arrangements in carrying forward His work in our world. He has never changed His own devised plan. He lays claim to all as His own, and of that entrusted to man, He claims His portion. “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.” {TM 306.1}

Herren har altid krævet dette svar på hans ordninger i fremførelsen af hans arbejde i vor verden. Han har aldrig forandret hans egen foreskrevne plan. »Thi jeg, Herren, er ikke blevet en anden, men I har ikke ophørt at være Jakobssønner. Siden eders fædres dage er I afveget fra mine bud og har ikke holdt dem. Vend om til mig, så vil jeg vende om til eder, siger Hærskarers Herre.«
