Quote of the Day

The world is good! It's permanent! It is not a temporary theater only here temporarily for the drama of individual salvation, after which we live a disembodied other-worldly life. Salvation is a new heaven and new earth, permanently. Redemption's ultimate purpose is the renewal of creation. Therefore birds flying and the ocean roaring and two people kissing and a great cup of wine - are permanent goods. They are good in themselves, ends in themselves. And therefore caring for this creation and cultivating it has the highest dignity...even if it means cutting your grass.

-Keller
