Fear of responsibility

“The third slave was responsible for less, but he did not have less responsibility…. He went off by himself, dug a hole and buried what his master had given him. He was treating it the way people treated money that was stolen. Actually he did this because he looked at the talent with fear instead of faith.  He saw it as a burden instead of an opportunity….  So believers are not free to receive gifts from God and fail to use them for His glory.” – Stanley Horton
