Discussion Questions:

1 Many a tragic story begins with the words, “It was a dark and stormy night...” What are some of life’s circumstances that could cause the son to face dark and stormy nights of his own?

2 How would you put the message of Proverbs 6:20-35 in your own words?

3 Why do you think the father gives examples about embracing fire or walking on burning coals? How is this similar to sleeping with someone else’s wife?

4 Why is the burned husband such a daunting and imposing figure here? What danger is he to others?

5 We may feel warnings like this one are for other people, not for us. However, the father is trying to help his son plan for these “dark and stormy” times of his own life. What kinds of rhythms, practices, or plans could you put into place in your own life to help protect you from temptation in dark and stormy seasons of your own?
