I'm merely concerned lest some of the "Profit-driven churches" misuse the widow's mite parable to push even harder for money -- for all the *wrong* reasons.

Cheers!

lest some . . . misuse the widow's mite parable to push even harder for money. . . .

Yes, I know that this account (not a parable, btw) of the widow's mite could be misused in that way, as a sly form of "devouring widows' houses."
