    There's body of believers/churches that do this... Ezekiel 33:31-32 "My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. Indeed, to...

    Taking advantage?

    *Yes, you do have a right to speak to your friend about the situation who's over-stepping friendship boundaries. You could help her connect with resources in the community that offer support to single parents, children etc...that way you aren't the only one helping her to raise her son.
