Few people would argue about the importance of exercise for physical health. Similarly, exercising your talents, skills, abilities, and gifts is essential to maintain spiritual health. It is sad to hear Jesus’ words about the person who buried his talent or Jesus’ words about the fig tree that bore no fruit. Read Romans 12:1-8.
