One of the saddest verses in the Bible has to be 1 Samuel 3:13, “…his sons made themselves vile and he restrained them not.” This is speaking of Eli, the priest, and his wicked sons, Hophni and Phinehas. Listen, Dad. Every child is going to misbehave, make mistakes, sin against the Lord and against you as well. But the key is that Eli put very little effort, if any, into correcting his wicked sons. Never let this be said of us. We cannot make our children follow the Lord, but we must do all that we can to correct and lead them.
