Continually Refine the Basics

Study Note for 2 Peter 1:12-15:

'Outstanding coaches constantly review the basics of the sport with their teams, and good athletes can execute the fundamentals consistently well.

We must not neglect the basics of our faith when we go on to study deeper truths. Just as an athlete needs constant practice, we need constant reminders of the fundamentals of our faith and of how we came to believe in the first place. Don't allow yourself to be bored or impatient with messages on the basics of the Christian life. Instead, take the attitude of an athlete who continues to practice and refine the basics even as he or she learns more advanced skills.'

This refining the basics concept applies in the business world and the personal world as well. Winners continually refine the basics.
