Money can tell you how much you have, but it makes a terrible answer to the question, “Who am I?” Wealth is a gift to steward, but it was never meant to become our identity.

Scripture offers a different perspective. In fact, some of Jesus’ most memorable teachings about wealth reveal what happens when possessions become central to a person's identity.
