==Purpose of fast offerings, and financial prudence== While administering to the needs of the poor through use of the fast offering funds, each bishop is also counseled to encourage individuals and families to become self-reliant through reducing debt, seeking work opportunities or improved income through education if needed, and paying tithes and offerings to receive temporal blessings from the Lord as promised in [[s:Bible (King James)/Malachi#Chapter 3|Malachi 3:8β12]].<ref>[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1980/06/questions-about-coping-financially-welfare-services-suggests-some-answers?lang=eng "Questions about Coping Financially: Welfare Services Suggests Some Answers"], ''[[Ensign (LDS magazine)|Ensign]]'' June 1980, p. 12.</ref>
