Advice for a Son
#
Pro 1:10-19
Intro.
We can see the advice coming from a fatherly figure, trying to counsel
his son, and help him as he goes through life. As we read this, it is
often applied to young people, but it is certainly not exclusively for
young people. As we march through different stages in our life, there
are certainly times when we will face temptation such as is described
here. It would do us all well to pay attention to what is written, and
keep it in our heart to protect our way.

Pitfalls of Perversity
#
Pro 5:1-6
Intro.
What God has made, Satan has imitated, cheapened, and ruined. (Peru
knockoffs) When God was done with creation, the Bible says, “And God
saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And
the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
We live in a perverse society. Perversity is regularly propagated by the
TV, internet, radio, billboards, magazines, and on the streets. A
godless society, will naturally cave to the fleshly sinful desires of
man. One of those desires is perverse pleasures of the flesh.

Warnings
#
Pro 7:6-10
Intro.
Solomon here uses a story to illustrate what he has just warned about.
This very scene unfolds night after night, it is ageless, and continues
to take place. You CANNOT relegate this to being old fashioned, in 2019,
I can promise you this same exact scenario takes place all around the
world.
Solomon here illustrates the story from a young man’s perspective, but
you could reverse the rolls, and find the same to be true. The
application goes both ways.

What Kind of a Person are you?
#
Proverbs 12:1-4
Intro.
The word most used in this Proverb is man. This can apply to both man
and woman. As the Bible says in 2 Peter 3:11 - Seeing then that all
these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness,"
