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.

Is this the way to Amaryllis?

The amaryllis plant is apparently a favourite for Christmas. A South American tropical beauty it is supposed to be easy to grow and exhibits huge colorful blooms in red, pink, white or orange. It blooms like no other bulb. Usually a bulb will produce 1-2 tall flower scapes each featuring up to 4 flowers. This is ours.

Thanks for that, Gary. I had always thought that they were South African and that they grew profusely there, like weeds.

Just goes to show !
