Piper on the goodness of creation
"...the physical universe is thus not an added treasure alongside God. Rather, the universe is the kind of garden or orchard where human beings can best taste and see the manifold goodness of God himself." John Piper, “What God Made Is Good - And Must Be Sanctified,” in The Romantic Rationalist: God, Life, and Imagination in the Works of C. S. Lewis , ed. John Piper and David Mathis (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2014), 144.
