      Posted on July 5th, 2010 by David Simmons

UPDATED:
On Sunday August 15 (only), Dr. Douglas Jacoby will be teaching on the subject of ‘Divorce & Remarriage’ and some other subjects on how culture impacts Christianity at the DFW Church of Christ located in Dallas, Texas.  This can be a tricky topic to navigate and understand God’s will for our lives if we’re in this situation.  What do the scriptures say?  How are we to interpret them?  What are the cultural influences?  One of the books Douglas will be using is Rubel Shelly’s “Divorce & Remarriage – a Redemptive Theology” to bring clarity and understanding to this subject.
