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.

Italy 17 Wales 29


Careful readers of this blog will have noticed a lack of reference to the Six Nations rugby this year. That is because Wales have not only lost their first three games but played rather poorly. All of Wales was in apprehensive mood earlier today, therefore, with the prospect of losing even to the tournament's traditional losers. Thankfully, Providence smiled on Wales and they played well, resulting in a deserved 29-17 win. At the moment France are thrashing England too, so things are looking up.
