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.

Day Off Week 49 2022


There was still snow on the ground come Tuesday but I headed out nevertheless and walked down the road to an art framers, where I ordered a frame for one of the opaintings I did in the summer. I walked on from there to the Costa in Cricklewood and caught the bus back home, where I stayed the rest of the day. I had one or wto things to deal with but mostly was wrapping presents while listening to Christmas music, reading a lovely edition of Dickens' Christmas Carol I was given last Christmas by one of my sons and watching, with Eleri, the last two episodes of the BBC detective drama Strike. I dipped into the football a little bit but Argentina didn't seem to have any trouble against Croatia. Nice day. We also had a nice facetime with one of the boys in Cardiff.
