Practicing therapist and pastor Derrick Collins returns to Ringgold Church to reflect on the parable of the 10 virgins--5 wise, 5 foolish, all symbolically referred to as believers. In addition to the sobering reminder this parable offers to those in the church, Collins highlights the importance of the oil and the lamp. His challenge to us: How can we remember the gifts/talents described in this and its partner parable (parable of the talents), remember their source, and best point others to that source?
