The Visiting Teaching message for August 2013 is on Welfare.
First let me say I believe it’s a good and noble thing for the church to have a desire to help its members. However, the help its members receive from the church is far from unconditional. When they go to their Bishop or Branch President for help one of the first things they’ll look at is if the member is a full tithe payer and if they give a generous Fast Offering each month.
