What do Christians think about charities?
Charity can roughly be exchanged with the word 'works' in the
new testament. The Bible says that "Faith without Works is dead",
meaning that it is meaningless to believe in God but not act on it.
Christians are expected to give to the poor, visit the sick, and
perform all manner of social services in the name of God; it is
impossible to be a Christian without acts of charity, though they
need not necessarily involve a recognized charity organization such
as Red Cross.
