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.

Wales now third in the world


Wales have leapfrogged England and Australia to move to third in the World Rugby rankings after beating Argentina in Arbentina. Tries from Hallam Amos and Josh Adams secured a 30-12 victory to complete a 2-0 series win over the Pumas on the back of beating South Africa in Washington earlier this month.
This latest win, coupled with another disaster for England in South Africa, has seen a significant change. It is the highest Wales have been in the rankings for a while, only previously topped by the second place they managed after beating England during the 2015 World Cup.
Before Saturday's Tests, the top 10 in the world rankings were: New Zealand, Ireland, Australia, England, Wales, Scotland, South Africa, France, Fiji, Argentina but a busy day has seen plenty of changes.
New Zealand claimed a series win over France after a 26-13 win. Ireland won 26-21 againt Australia, to remain second, while England suffered a second consecutive defeat to South Africa after losing 23-12 in Bloemfontein. England are now sixth in the rankings, with South Africa moving up to fifth from seventh.
