Are you selective about which charities you give to, or do you look up "charities" in the yellow pages and give to every one of them?
There's nothing wrong with deciding that you will give to some but not to others, especially when your decisions are guided by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
when your decisions are guided by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Exactly! And no one can make a better call than that.
It's not for us to decide if they or anyone should or shouldn't. When you allow yourself to be directed by the Holy Spirit it may not even make sense to you, yet it should make sense to someone else? We just step out in faith and follow where the Holy Spirit leads.

I am selective and only give to local charities I know do good work. One is the non-denominational food bank and their clothing program, and the other is a spay-neuter program for cats.

I agree, but the issue isn't whether we give to this charity of not, it's the general concept of Christians working together, overcoming differences for the greater good of Christ.
