One thing for sure, you need a new church. One that teaches the Bible instead of one that teaches middle-class American values.
What are the talents? Exactly what the word means in English -- talents. Have you been blessed with the great talent to evangelize? If you have, use it. If you weren't given vast evangelizing abilities, than use the little abilities you have for God's glory. But use what you were given, because God doesn't take kindly to those who hide them.
Same thing with teaching. Or administrative works. (Hey, one of my talents is administrative work, so I'm not putting anyone down. It's a good thing. The church can use help with newsletters, or the bulletin on Sunday, or someone to keep the books. lol) Whatever talent the Lord has blessed you with, use it. That's why he gave it to you. Don't go hiding it, because he hates that. He gives so we can use it and give him back what he gave us, with interest.
