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.

Upcoming Lecture

Who's this then? If you know it's Louis Berkhof (and even if you don't) you may well want to be down at The Evangelical Library in Chiltern Street, near Baker Street Tube, next Monday evening (at 6.00 pm) to hear Geoff Thomas give the Evangelical Library Lecture on the man himself. Berkhf died 50 years ago this year.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your comment yesterday over on mine...we're excited and terrified by God's leading and guidance - and already knowing His help and grace.

Will this talk be recorded on MP3? I'd love to hear this.

Glad your Grace Baptist meetings went well.
