Los Angeles Pastor Chad Veach: Stop Complaining And Work to the ‘Best of Your Ability’
GNN Note – Liberties from God? Who needs ’em? Rights protected by the Constitution? Forget about ’em. Living a sovereign life in our Christ identity? Unimportant. We should obey government and “stop complaining”. We used to republish Pastor Chad’s sermons, but this is beyond the pale and we will have to leave his messages for those that don’t believe in Liberty and the importance of communion.

Chad Veach, a megachurch pastor from Los Angeles, is calling on Christians to stop complaining about the current pandemic situation and instead work to the “best of your ability” amid ongoing coronavirus restrictions.

We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
During an appearance this week on “The Lucas Miles Show,” the Zoe Church founding pastor said that, while church is mostly online, ministers and churchgoers should play it “to the best of our ability.”
“Let’s try and master the chats, let’s master the pre-show or post-show and the engagement during the week and, you know, we just chalked up five ways for our volunteers to serve.”
He called on pastors and faith leaders to “bend over backwards” to find creative ways to meet the needs of their congregants and greater communities amid the coronavirus-induced restrictions.
“If this is our new normal, and our new context, dominate it,” Veach said. “It’s an old saying, but of course, necessity is the mother of invention. So we’re in this season. Let’s crush, let’s be faith-filled, let’s serve the Lord with gladness, let’s build His house and build His church and let’s see the opportunity and the good of it.”
“Why bellyache? Why complain? Why [say], ‘I can’t wait for us to get back in person?’” he continued. “You might feel that way, but don’t let that be the dominant attitude. Why don’t you be excited about trying to just go, ‘Hey, online church — we’ve never had people watch from Dubai before! We’ve never had people from Australia be a part of our community.’”
