Abraham and Eli

My address to the new recruits took place this morning.  I did it round the call of Abraham, and also on what happened to Eli when he failed to discipline his sons.  God took his blessing from Elis family and said, "Those who honour me, I will honour"  He also said that those who despised him would be as nothing.  However, we need to go on and on honouring God.  Eli probably started out well, but failed to keep it up.
