We take a trip through the 1st Book of Samuel with Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas. Eli is the typical father with the typical thought, “Boys will be boys.” The problem is that the boys are now men and priests. Eli teaches his sons the customary rituals of serving God, but he neglects to assist them in having a relationship with God. Hophni and Phinehas are out of control. They make God so angry that he threatens to kill them and the males will not reach old age. Do you think that would stop them or put a fire under Eli? Nope. This is a cautionary tale of what is happening in society today with children. Children are not being disciplined and as a direct result, we have children deleting themselves and others, having no respect for authority, and other horrific activities. We discuss what worked in the past, what is not working currently, and what can be done differently.© RSS America LLC.Resources
