I called out a pastor today on the matter of the widow who gave two mites. He was using it as an example of positive giving, how we should give. That takes it out of context and ignores the criticism of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees who devour widow's houses (verses right before the widow with two mites) and the verses immediately after where Christ says He will destroy their temple.
