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.

SM City


Manila is full of shopping malls and tonight I was in the biggest in The Philippines, the SM City North EDSA one with Pastor Mon and his family. You can read about it here. We visited Pizza Hut for a lovely big meal and the incredibly over staffed SM Department Store for gifts and The National Bookstore where I bought Jose Rizal's Do not touch me.
