Alabama moved up to number two in the latest college football poll. However, Head Coach Nick Saban wants to make sure his team isn't drinking the kool-aid in other words getting caught up in the hype. Whether you like him or not Saban realizes if the Tide does not put in the work that it took to become the second ranked team in the country they will not stay the second ranked team in the country for long.
Likewise as Christians as we begin to develop in our walk and become mature in the faith we can't forget the foundational principles we have learned. Hebrews 2:1 says, Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard lest at any time we should let them slip. We should never forget the basics. Jesus showed his love for us by dying on the cross, in turn we show our love for him by dying to self. It's not our will but his will.
As Alabama climbs in the college football poll they can't forget the fundamentals and the hard work it took to get to that point. As God promotes us let us not forget the fundamentals (reading the Bible, praying, and going to church). As long as we work hard on those three things we are sure to stay on track.
