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.

Article on Micah Thomas in the latest Evangelical Magazine


I have an article on Micah Thomas 1778-1853 in the Nov Dec EMW Mag, which is full of many other good things too.

Thanks for the article, Gary. Good to see a mention of New Inn Chapel - another bit of our long history that we didn't know about. It is good to know that we preach the same good news here 250 years later!

Thanks. I'm glad you spotted that. When I was a boy the painting of MT at Pontrhydyrun hung in the main SS room.
