Love Does Not Push People Away— God Embraces Them.

The essence of everything I have compiled comes down to the same truth

Jesus spoke plainly: it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Some of the greatest victories in God’s kingdom are not found among those who were never lost, but in the moments when a sinful, broken, and deceived lamb is brought back into the flock of God. These are the victories that are most celebrated in Heaven.

I know this because the people who love me, and whom I love, do not require the same kind of rescue. They are not the battlefield. The battle is for those who are lost, tricked, and fooled by Satan—those making poor judgments, those hardened into narcissism and ego, those bought and sold by false promises. As Scripture warns, what does it profit a person to gain the whole world and lose their soul?

What I am saying is this: it is not Jesus or God who are against people. God is against what is against people. He is against sin—not the sinner. Jesus came to die for the sins and mistakes of all. He came for everyone.

When I see churches decline to display the flags of certain groups or organizations, I understand this as a refusal to participate in sinful decisions—and that is right. But it is not meant to push away the people making those poor choices. On the contrary, those are the very people whose return to God would bring the greatest celebration.

Love wins. Love is kind. Love is inviting. Love is honest. Love is truthful. Love does not push people away—it embraces them.

This is the love shown in the parable of the prodigal son: the father who knew his child was dead, and then rejoiced when he returned to life. There is great celebration in Heaven when someone who was lost comes home to God.

I know this to be true—because there was a time when I, too, was walking dead.


The End Times Will Be Like the Days of Noah

The end times will be like the days of Noah, with people caught up in everyday life—eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage—unaware of the impending judgment, much like before the great flood, despite widespread wickedness and corruption. The key emphasis is on unpreparedness and spiritual blindness.

Key Similarities Jesus Highlights

Focus on Normal Activities: People were busy with daily life—eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage—as if nothing unusual was happening.

Unawareness of Judgment: They did not realize the divine judgment (the flood) was coming until it suddenly swept them away.

Spiritual Blindness: The core comparison is not just about events, but the mindset: a general cluelessness, apathy, and focus on worldly things over spiritual realities.

Prevalence of Evil: In Noah’s time, humanity’s wickedness was great, with evil continually in their hearts, paralleling the moral decay seen as a sign of the end times.

Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Luke 17:26-27
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

Matthew 24:37-39
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

End times as a period of intense global distress, marked by specific events and a widespread moral decline in human behavior. People are generally described as becoming increasingly wicked and self-focused.

Key Events of the End Times

Biblical prophecies outline several major events and conditions that together signal the “last days” or “time of the end”:

Wars and Lawlessness: There will be a significant increase in wars, violence, and general lawlessness across the world.

Natural Disasters and Disease: Famines, large-scale earthquakes, and widespread disease epidemics (pestilences) are foretold.

Deception and False Prophets: There will be many false teachers, prophets, and even “false Christs” who perform signs and wonders to deceive people and lead them away from the faith.

Persecution: Followers of Christ will face intense persecution and hatred from all nations for their beliefs.

Apathy and Scoffing: Many people will be apathetic or actively ridicule the idea of Christ’s return, continuing with their normal lives (likened to the “days of Noah”) until the very end.

Global Preaching: The “good news of the Kingdom” will be preached throughout the entire world as a final testimony before the end comes.

Described Behaviors

The Bible, particularly in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, gives a detailed list of the specific negative behaviors and attitudes that will characterize people in the last days:

Self-Centeredness: People will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money, driven by personal gain.

Lack of Morality/Piety: They will be boastful, proud, abusive, blasphemers, ungrateful, and unholy.

Breakdown of Relationships: There will be a lack of natural affection within families, with children being disobedient to parents; people will be unloving, unforgiving, and quick to betray others.

Lack of Restraint: They will be slanderers, without self-control, brutal, and despisers of good.

Focus on Pleasure and Appearances: People will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a superficial “form of godliness” but denying its true power.

The biblical command for believers in response to these signs is to “watch” and “pray,” live a godly life, remain faithful to the Scriptures, and share the gospel with others, as no one knows the exact time of the end.

This to is what I am telling all is that just as Jesus said “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. gospel with others, as no one knows the exact time of the end.” I love the enemy and I also see the lost and ill and those that were fooled as the ones to give the most needed love and kindness as to bring them back to the flock of God.  I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. I also know that I was of the walking dead and lost for time. I know what it is to be love and found. “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

2 Timothy 3:1-5
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

Jesus Sought Out the Lost, the Sick, and the Marginalized Jesus sought out the lost, the sick, and the marginalized, extending love, mercy, and an invitation to repent and follow Him, offering forgiveness and a new life rather than condemnation, even to the “worst sorts”.

Who Jesus Calls

Those who know they are sinners: Jesus stated, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Matthew 9:13), meaning those who acknowledge their spiritual sickness, like patients seeking a doctor.

The lost and weary: He offers rest to those “heavy laden” (Matthew 11:28–30) and came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10).

Everyone who wants to come: Scriptures like 2 Peter 3:9 and Isaiah 1:18 show God’s desire for everyone to come to repentance, offering cleansing from sin.

Who Might Not Hear His Call (or Respond)

The self-righteous: Those who believe they are already righteous and don’t need God’s grace, like the Pharisees, often resist His call.

Those unwilling to repent: While God calls all, genuine response requires turning from sin (repentance) to receive salvation (Acts 3:19).

In Essence Jesus’s mission is inclusive of all humanity’s brokenness, but it’s activated by an individual’s willingness to admit their need for Him and turn towards Him for healing and forgiveness, as seen with the woman at the well (John 4).


Genesis 3

The Fall (Genesis 3:1–24)
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’

cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Genesis 4

Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1–26)
Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

But the Lord said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.

Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.

Lamech said to his wives,

“Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me. If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.”

Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.


Luke 15

The Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1–7) Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”

The Parable of the Lost Coin (Luke 15:8–10) “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

The Parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15:11–32) Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

“Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

“Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

“The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”


A Time for Everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1–22) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.

Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.

And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there.

I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”

I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”

So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
