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.

Origins of TULIP


The historic Five Points of Calvinism are a summary of the Canons of Dort which were the judgment of the Synod of Dort (1618-1619), where the Reformed churches rejected the teaching of Arminianism. There is no certainty regarding the origin of the acronym 'TULIP' as specifically used to delineate the five points of Calvinism.
In an aside yesterday Dr Lane referred to their origin as now being placed in the early part of the 18th Century. This link gives the background.
