Myron Golden identifies three financial mistakes Christians make: tithing while wasting the other 90% of income, expecting God to handle what you must do yourself, and lacking a marketable skill. He cites Proverbs on diligence and emphasizes personal responsibility over passive faith.

Myron golden here. And today I want to tell you about the three biggest mistakes that keep Christians broke. Number one, doing the right thing with 10% of your money and the wrong thing with 90% of your money. Tithing is an opportunity for you to receive a blessing from the Lord. But if you do, if you tithe and then you waste the rest of your money, you're going to be a broke tither. Number two, asking God to do something for you he told you to do for yourself. The scripture says, the hand of the diligent maketh rich, but the slothful shall be under tribute. You can't do God's part. He won't do your part. Number three, not having a marketable skill, something that the marketplace values. So, yes, tithe, but make sure you do the right thing with the other 90% of your money. Yes, pray to God and ask him to do his part, but make sure you do your part. And third, make sure you develop a skill that makes you so good they can't ignore you.
