The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

An untraditional 1:44 celebration for March 1. It arises because someone has been touting a recording supposed to be Jimi Hendrix doing it. This is better. I have a better version again in my collection by the late Tic Gwilym but can't find a way to share it. You can hear a snatch here.

GREAT SITE!

In your Feb. 24th "Swallowed up in Victory" you state that "the world constantly apes the best that Christians can do!" Very profound!

Just yesterday I heard that a movie is being made about finding the burial boxes of Jesus and His family! This would indicate that the scriptures are wrong, Jesus did NOT rise from the dead, and His bones in the box would prove the New Testament of salvation in Jesus is all a hoax; and He's NOT coming back again!

My goodness! WHAT have YOU and I to look forward to then? Where is our Hope in THIS life, and the AFTERlife? Yes, "the world constantly apes (COPIES) the best that Christians can do!"

However, there are OTHER 'hidden' things in the Word that tell us that the Bible IS TRUE! For example...

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ "CODES" RIGHT OUT OF YOUR OWN BIBLE, that "CONTROL" your Destiny?

See the "CHOSEN"Code and "COLOR"Code; VISIT: http://quadcode.blogspot.com !

Save or Print it to study.

HAVE A MUCH MORE BRILLIANT DAY!

Thanks for that. However talk of Bible codes makes me nervous. I'm a 1689 man you'll see from my sidebar. In 1.6 it says 'The whole council of God concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressely set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture'. That's right and important too, codes or no codes.
