This sermon focuses on one of Mel Purvis' most pastoral yet piercing warnings: the danger of drifting away from God. Using Hebrews 2:1–3 as the foundation, he stresses that most people do not plunge into sin suddenly—they drift into it gradually. The devil rarely pushes a person off a cliff; he quietly causes them to loosen their grip, dull their hearing, and drift with the current of the world until they are far from God without realizing it.
Purvis identifies the subtle signs of drift, the internal decay it produces, the deceitfulness of sin that pulls the heart away, and the tragic end of those who neglect their spiritual life. He urges believers to take spiritual vigilance seriously, warning that drifting always leads to hardness, deception, coldness, and spiritual ruin unless confronted early.
