Lentz also shared a copy of the photo on his Instagram account, writing: "Sure do love my friends @ryangood24 @justinbieber ..discussing things such as: sometimes it SEEMS like although all us 'Christians' live in GLASS HOUSES, people (especially social media 'Christians') still develop an uncanny propensity to be olympian level expert rock throwers and criticism/foolish judgement is far to prevalent..the TRUTH is that Jesus outweighs em all.. there is so much GOOD, so many GRACE FILLED/KIND/HUMBLE people in this world that our job is to simply 'tune out the noise' from the world and 'turn up the volume' on the voice from HEAVEN..life is GOOD when you can hear from GOD!" Lentz added the hashtags: "#occupyallstreets #churchinthewild #leavemymanJBaloneandcleanupyourownife #shouldkeepyousobusy #loveyoueitherway #twerk?"
