All that looks like reality to us is dependent on God. There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God. Here [Francis Shaffer's 'The God Who Is There'] was an absolutely compelling road sign. Stay on the road of objective truth. This will be the way to avoid wasting your life. Stay on the road that your fiery evangelist father was on...Here was weighty intellectual confirmation that life would be wasted in the grassland of existentialism. Stay on the road. There is Truth. There is Point and Purpose and Essence to it all.
John Piper
Don't Waste Your Life pp.18
