"Like tithing, the terms of this covenant are in one sense the same for everyone, yet in another sense, different for each according to individual ability. [...] The savior requires each of us a specific percentage, that is, all that we have or 100%. Yet each individual's "100%" will be a different quantity from everyone else, depending on the spiritual knowledge and maturity of the individual. [...] He never requires more than I am able to give, and what he does require of me is always appropriate to my knowledge and circumstances [...]. My obligation is to give all I have, not all someone else has, to be as good as I can be, not as good as someone else is."
- Stephen E. Robinson "Believing Christ"
