This sermon is one of Mel Purvis' most solemn messages on the fearful reality of God's final warning. Purvis teaches that God is "longsuffering… not willing that any should perish," yet Scripture reveals that a time comes when God stops striving with a person, and the opportunity for repentance ends forever.
Purvis unfolds the terrifying principle behind Proverbs 29:1:
"He that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck,
shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."
He shows that God's warnings are proof of His love—but repeated refusal produces a hardened heart, a silent conscience, and an irreversible spiritual condition. The sermon explains how a person reaches that point, how sudden judgment can be, and why many die lost even though they intended to repent "one day."
The tone is intense, evangelistic, and urgent—a last call to anyone in danger of resisting God's voice.
