INTRODUCTION

Definition: Impudent is to be offensively bold, brazen, and audacious.
1. It is very difficult to sin at home, with our families, having dinner, discussing the scriptures. Do we need to leave our house? Is there a preferred place that someone can go look for sin? Proverbs 7:6-8
2. Everyone knows the place. Everyone knows where to meet. Who else is there? Are there other sinners seeking the same? Proverbs 7:11, 12
3. We don't want to be seen when we are committing sin. Is any time of day ok? When is the best time of the day to commit sin? Proverbs 7:9
4. Sinners advertise. Their clothing and their behavior are their advertisements. How does a sinner advertise their intentions? Proverbs 7:10, 11
5. After the advertisement, comes the sales pitch. The target has to be sold on the purchase. How does the salesperson draw the customer closer to making the purchase? Proverbs 7:21
6. A good sinner makes good use of his time to maximize the sin. This requires preparation! Serious preparation! v 16, 17.
7. So, two sinners meet. There is nothing to hide between them. One of the two must state their intentions? Do they? Proverbs 7:18
8. Sin requires forethought. You can't meet too early and you can't stay too late. What did this woman consider beforehand? Proverbs 7:19, 20
9. Who can resist a good advertisement or an excellent salesperson? But, was this young man tricked or did he get what he wanted? Proverbs 7:22
10. Sin has a price attached to it. Not just in the second resurrection. It has a price in this life. In what ways can someone pay for this sin? Can the price be physical? Can it be paid with family relationships? How long can these payments last? Proverbs 7:23
11. To avoid sins, what should we do when we hear the advertisement of sin? What do we do when we find ourselves walking down the road to sin? Proverbs 7:25
12. And we know the results. What are they? Proverbs 7:26
CONCLUSION
Now that we know how to commit sin, we also know how to avoid committing sin. v 1-5.
