The Universe, Our Playground Dr.Phil Ryken

It was good to attend The Gospel Coalition at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School a few weeks ago -- hosted by Tim Keller and D. A. Carson, and jointly sponsored by a couple of dozen evangelical pastors from a wide variety of churches. Although I was only able to attend half the conference, it was good to hear Alliance Council Member John Piper preach from Romans 8 on the new heavens and the new earth. I was especially blessed by a comment to this effect: "The universe is not so important in itself, but more so as the playground of God's children . . . and the temple for God's children . . . and the craft shop."
