Christian charity
Love-driven giving
Christian charity is generosity and kindness motivated by religious faith, particularly the obligation to love one's neighbor.
The phrase often carries an ironic edge when someone's behavior falls short: She could have shown a little Christian charity.
It may also describe aid provided by church organizations: The shelter operates on Christian charity.
