Thoughts on The Parable of the Talents...

Some of you have been given a talent to sing but you don’t sing.  For some it’s an ability or talent to teach but you don’t teach.  Some have an incredible knack for selling.  You could sell a health club membership to a dying man but it’s been fifteen years since you told anybody about Jesus.  Still others have been blessed with the means to give…to the work of the Lord…and you guessed it…they don’t.  You know what the real problem is?  You don’t believe in God.  See if you really believed in God and that He would take away that talent to sing that you don’t use…wild horses couldn’t keep you from singing that song.  If you really believed your talent to SELL would be lost if you didn’t TELL others about Christ…an atomic bomb couldn’t keep you from telling about Him to others.  If you REALLY thought God wouldn’t allow you to participate in HIS economy if you were greedy with your money you’d rob a bank to get out your own funds to give in the offering.  That’s our problem…we really don’t believe in God!
