APOSTLE JUDE: in his Epistle he write “faith without works is dead’.  There are at least fourteen kinds of spiritual and corporal (earthly) works of mercy that we can do including prayer, reading Scripture, helping others in various ways and supporting the Church.   Very few do nothing for the Church when they are ‘new’ Christians but many are like the seed sown in rocks:  with time the plants dies.   If you say you are a Christian but don’t have the desire to do any works you need to question if the Faith you profess is alive or dead.
