Here we have the parable where a rich man gave 10 coins to ten of his servants and went away. When he returned he called them forth to see how much interest they had gained him. The first doubled it to 20 and was thus put in charge of 10 cities. The next gained 50% (5 more) and he was given 5 cities to run. Another returned only the 10 coins saying he hid them away because he was afraid of the man.
On one hand I think the last guy is lying, he invested it too but was trying to keep the earnings for himself. On the other hand, maybe he did hide it away to avoid losing the coins.
Either way the message of doing well with what you're entrusted will ensure you are granted more is valid.

This message holds true not just with money, but every aspect of life. Did someone trust you with their heart? Their feelings/secrets? Has God given you a talent or gift that you're hoarding away instead of using it to multiply his kingdom?
