Nobody ever likes to hear about money in Church, but when the Gospel boldly speaks about money, as it does in Matthew 25.14-31, we cannot ignore the relationship that money has with our salvation. According to the Parable of the Talents, how we use (or do not use) the money which God has given to us, will be used when we are judged in the Kingdom of Heaven. We each have been given resources according to our ability, not to hide it but to use it to glorify God. The time has come for us to take the resources God has given to us, and finally use them to honor and glorify God, according to our ability. The more we have received, the more we must respond. Our salvation depends upon it.
