Tips for Christian Parenting

Read 1 Samuel 8

Eli was a priest of the Lord, yet his sons were committing fornication with the congregation. 1 Samuel 2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, eventually died on the same day as a punishment. 1 Samuel 2:34 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
Samuel, anointed by Eli, replaced him as priest and also suffered the same fate.
The two sons of Samuel – Joel and Abiah were greedy, corrupt, partial judges and bribe takers – 1 Samuel 8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
The people of Israel rejected the two sons of Samuel – 1 Samuel 8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
Both sons of Eli and Samuel were ungodly.
May God give you wisdom to bring up your children in the way of the Lord
