Hillsong NYC pastor Carl Lentz has struck a nerve.
The pastor took to Facebook Sunday to explain why his church made up of Hillsongs NYC campuses will not be using the phrase all lives matter. Instead, Lentz wrote, his church will be saying black lives matter.
The pastor wrote:
At THIS church, we are not saying all lives matter right now because this is a logical assumption that most reasonable people agree with. All lives are not at risk right now. We ARE saying BLACK LIVES MATTER. Because, right now, black lives apparently are worth LESS on our streets. Its our fight not their fight.
The short message was posted as a preview of what Pastor Lentz was preaching about that day. However the message, which is seen as controversial in the church world, may have led someone to pull a firearm at their New Jersey campus, according to Lentz.

Another worthless ‘church’ which has lost its saltiness.
Isn’t TheBlaze a Glenn Beck site?
Uh, Pastor, ALL lives matter INCLUDES Black lives.
And if you want it to be OUR fight, then you’re going to have to include US.
Bummer, I know. But that’s the way it is.
Oh, by the the way, you’re a racist.
“Because, right now, black lives apparently are worth LESS on our streets.”
Preach your message in south Chicago every weekend, Carl.
Well said.
Long before BLM, Lentz and Hillsong were dangerous.
Now just what is Hillsong? Is this one of these new churches that tries to be relevant to the world and eventually waters down the Gospel? Entertain those at the service with a “praise band”? Spiritual kin to Joel Osteen?
No wonder why I’m heading more toward Independent Fundamentalist Baptist.
Why don’t you research the answers to your questions.
“How to let God make your life matter, whatever color you are” would be more on point.
I just did and my suspicions were confirmed. Call it discernment.
Idiot. Jesus didn’t go around saying “Jewish Lives Matter.”
“God so loved the world” John 3:16a
All lives matter to God. Black lives matter because they are human, not because they are black, any more than white lives would matter because they’re white: therein lies racist supremacism, regardless of the side.
Black Lives Matter is a front organization for anti-Christian action, and any pastor of any theological training and knowledge of the news should be able to know this.
Someone didn’t do very well the day they covered Venn diagrams in middle school math class.
Thank you for your post.
BLM is a front for global communism.
So many apostates eager to itch people’s ears.
So many reasons to feel good about my decision not to attend seminary (read: heresy factory) in my youth.
My response is simple-
Gal 3:8
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
