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.

Pearl and the Puppets


I'm a bit of a sucker for pop music, especially if it's fresh. Heard this last night on Radio 2. It's Pearl and Puppets and is called Because I do. More here. It's as easy to get infatuated with a piece of pop music as it is with a person, as in the song. It's a warning to take care over what's fun what's real.
