Went with the boys to see the Chelsea game last night, the Europa Cup semi-final. A rare treat. The first half wasn't up to much but Chelsea's three second half goals were more than enough (they were already 2-1 up). We were near the fanatical Basel supporters who cheered, clapped and sung throughout, letting off fireworks at the end. Having been a Chelsea fan of old I was able to join in the chorus of Blue is the colour that was sung at the beginning. It's amazing what will stick. The final is in Amsterdam.
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.
