🔥 Are you hardening your heart against God without realizing it? As the signs of the end multiply, the greatest danger may not be persecution — but spiritual drift, offense, and quiet rebellion.
In this urgent episode of *Insights to the End Times*, Dr. Brian Scott delivers a sobering warning: don’t disregard the last days, don’t walk away like Demas, and don’t harden your heart against the living God.
🎥 Episode Summary
As we move closer to the return of Christ, Scripture makes it clear that preparation is not optional. Dr. Scott continues his series on the nearness of the end, confronting the growing disregard among believers who refuse to deny themselves, pursue Jesus wholeheartedly, or remain faithful to their local church. The warning is direct: drifting from God rarely feels dramatic — it begins with small compromises and a hardened heart.
Through 2 Timothy, Hebrews, and Jeremiah, this message exposes the spiritual pattern of Demas — a man who once walked closely with Paul but ultimately “loved this present world.” Dr. Scott challenges listeners to examine whether they are a Luke (faithful), a Mark (useful), or a Demas (departed). The consequences of rebellion, unbelief, and trusting in self rather than God are not minor — they are eternal.
If you sense spiritual complacency, confusion, or offense creeping in, this teaching will call you back to steadfast faithfulness before it’s too late.
