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.

Amazing Grace


As Ioan Gruffudd is starring I thought this might make a good Gwyl Ddewi post (St David's Day). The film gets its premiere here in the UK on Friday 23 March 2007. this trailer lasts 2':30".

Me and my wife went to see this tonight. I reviewed it on my blog. More of a personal review. The thought just occurred to me that Wilberforce had the impact on slavery throughout the world. Without his efforts, I suppose that the civil war here in the U.S. would possibly have been delayed. A ripple effect like a rock being thrown into a pond.
