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.

Banner Double Issue

The electronic version of the Banner of Truth magazine for August has just landed in my inbox so summer must be cummin in. Lots of nice articles there, mainly culled from elsewhere. Here's a quote from an article on Prayer by favourite standby Peter Barnes:

What could be worse than hearing a recording of all our prayers over the past week? And what if they were posted on the internet? Yet God hears and knows all our prayers, even before we utter them! No wonder we feel ashamed. There is no magic technique, but some suggestions might help and encourage us.

Fior the suggestions see the mag or here.
