What types of preoccupation and domination with sexual sin are prevalent in our society? How can we extract ourselves from these sexual sins? 2. Amnon schemed to obtain his desire for Tamar. What was he willing to sacrifice to get Tamar? Describe a situation when someone made similar wicked pursuits along with the resulting sacrifices? Do people leap into wicked pursuits or is it incremental with increasing intensity? How can we stop obsessing and progressing with a sinful pursuit? 4 2/7-8/15 3. Once Amnon took Tamar by force, what were the dramatic consequences? Explain how satisfaction is or is not achieved by making sinful choices? If satisfaction is achieved, how long will it be obtained? How do we stop choosing sin instead of obeying (loving) our God? 4. David was furious with Amnon’s violation of Tamar. What reason(s) did David as a father or as a king have for not administering the proper justice for this grievous act? What was the consequence for ignoring Amnon’s sin? What types of outcome can we expect when recognized sin in our families is left unchecked and not punished? What does our Lord expect us to do when we fall into sin? 5
