Culture Questions: How Good is Good Enough?
Today we’re beginning a new series called “Culture Questions.” During this series we’re going to explore some of the most common questions asked in our culture today. Some of these questions are discussed regularly with friends, family, or even opponents. Others are questions we ask in our own minds. And most of these questions are accompanied by our own assumptions or theories.
