The Parable of the Talents - - (25:14-30) --- Don't bury your talents!"Anything whereby we may glorify God is a 'talent'. Our gifts, our influence, our money, our knowledge, our health, our strength, our time, our senses, our reason, our intellect, our memory, our affections, our privileges as members of Christ's church, our advantages as possessors of the Bible- all are talents." (JC Ryle)
