In the 70s, we put IXOYE (fish) stickers on our bumpers.

In the 80s, we put WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) stickers on them.

Honor God, or Go your own way. Romans 1.21-23

Zoom out for a minute with me . . . let’s take a look at where we find ourselves in Scripture. Paul has turned his attention toward the Christians in Rome. In his opening remarks, he comprehensively covers the nature of who Christ is, and what he has done. He makes it clear it is his life’s aim…
