"A church in Concord, NC, called Showers Of Blessings has become the target of complaints from its neighbors for following the teachings of the Bible.
If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. -- Leviticus 25:35-36
With a population of over 80,000, Concord is located just north of Charlotte and is the twelfth largest city in NC. It is considerably more conservative than Charlotte, with Republican voters edging out Democrats 50-48 in 2012. The Yellow Pages have 858 listings for churches in Concord.
Residents living next to a Concord church are frustrated because they said no one told them a program that houses homeless people opened up inside the church.
That program has been operating for one-and-a-half years.
For a year and a half, nobody noticed the homeless people were there. What tipped the neighbors off? Construction. Nothing perks up Southerners' noses like construction vehicles in the neighborhood. The facility is called My Father's House. There's even a sign out front."

My take? Yep... if there's anything conservative Christians can't stand, it's someone acting like Jesus Christ asked them to.

how do you know the complainers were conservative christians? Maybe they were liberal atheists.
