A Harvard Business Review blog calls it Warren Buffet's "jerk doctrine." Buffett, one of the wealthiest people in the world, once said, "Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars."

Preaching Angles: Wealth, Riches, Stewardship—Buffett may be right, but followers of Christ should be different. Increased wealth should make us more generous and better stewards of our money.
