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.

At the House of Commons


Last Thursday one of my deacons and I went down to the House of Commons and had a little tour of the place courtesy of our MP Mike Freer (Con). It was a clergy night so it was interesting to meet some of the local clergy and others, many in their dog collars. It was not an evening for politics, Mr Freer simply showed us around the place and explained some of the history and activity. A worthwhile evening.
