Driving is a lot harder now than it used to be.  It seems like many of us who have been driving for a while hold to the rules of the road somewhat loosely.  We each need to get somewhere, and we want to get there as soon as possible. When we see signs that slow us down, well, that's just inconvenient.  

The yield sign is an interesting one.  It's doesn't always require a full stop, but it forces us to make a choice to allow someone to go ahead of us.  If we obey the sign, we are actually saying that it's ok if someone gets what they want at the expense of us getting what we want.  

This week, as we continue in our series on Romans, Live By Faith, we'll discover Paul's driving instructions for relationships within the church.  In the same way that traffic laws are intended to protect and care for people, so there are truths of Scripture that serve the same purpose: to protect and care for the people around us.  Starting in the second half of chapter 14 of Romans, Paul teaches followers of Jesus these truths in order to strengthen the Church family.  These ideas are vital for us to wrestle with today in light of our culture.  Living sacrifices must learn to yield.  I hope you'll join us for this important discussion of God's word.
