S3:E40 - Are you mismanaging what God wants you to multiply

So this is, uh, Matthew 25, starting at verse 14 and going to 30.

So bear with me, okay? We're gonna get in some scripture.

"He called his own servants and entrusted his possessions to them.

To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent, depending on each one's ability.

Then he went on a journey.

Immediately, the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more.

In the same way, the man with two earned two more.

But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.

After a long time, the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, 'Master, you gave me five talents.

See, I have earned five more.' His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.

You were faithful over a few things.

I will put you in charge of many things.

Share in your master's joy.' The man with two talents also approached.

He said, 'Master, you gave me two talents.

See, I have earned two more.' His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.

You were faithful over a few things, and I will put you in charge of many things.

Share in your master's joy.' The man who received one talent also approached and said, 'Master, I know you.

You're a harsh man, reaping where you haven't sown and gathering where you haven't scattered seed.

So I was afraid and went off, and I hid your talent in the ground.

See, you have what is yours.' His master replied to him," okay, I'm getting a little severe here, "'You evil, lazy servant.

If you knew that I reap where I haven't sown and gather where I haven't scattered, then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and I would have received my money back with interest when I returned.

So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents.

For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough.

But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
