Many talents are being hid "in the earth" today, and it is not alone the one-talented men and women who are doing so.
"Afraid" of being considered peculiar, and unwilling to be reproached for Christ's sake, countless numbers are letting the "earth" have their ability.
Living for the things of this world, which must end with time, is as surely hiding talents in the earth as literally burying them far beneath the surface of the ground would be.
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Cor. 15:5858Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58).
