I believe evangelicals have played down this aspect of Christian instruction for several political reasons:

* Charity is too universal. Since anyone can give to others, it does not have the flavor of hard-edgeChristianity that other works possess -- as though any service that could be done by a non-Christian is a second-class act.

* Conservative Christians tend to extol prudence, and are often more interested in beingfinancially smart than spiritually wise.

* Though the Bible decries it, Christians have not earned their judgmental reputation for nothing. Manyof those who need assistance have made poor choices in the past (which, as far as I know, is part of being human). Somehow helping them today is seen as subsidizing their past behavior. We would rather sitin judgment over others than meet their needs.

* We have had it hammered into us for so long that we cannot earn our way into heaventhat any service activity that does not include the gospel almost seems suspect.
