The Parable of the Talents Explained

Posted on 06:21 by Unknown

Below is some graffiti I recently saw on a bike ride around White Rock. I loved it so much, I stopped and took this picture. It's at the top of the White Rock Lake dam, looking East, back out over the waters.

I know that some will likely be offended by it's crudeness...or perhaps shocked that I, as a preacher, would post such things.

If you are shocked, I blame Tony Campolo, and invite you to consider his wisdom.

Here's the bottom line...
 If you want to understand the truth of "The Parable of the Talents," it's all right here...

 

And if you'd rather hear a full-length sermon, making much the same point in different language, have at it.
