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.

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,"
