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 12 2019


It was a fairly typical day off in that I walked the dog, had a coffee and did newspaper puzzles. I also listened to music and managed to finish Respectable sins by the late Jerry Bridges (easy to read and very helpful) and to complete most of Norwegian Wood by Murakami (recommended only with much caution). Earlier I had completed a binge watch of The Missing prompted by watching the recent Baptiste series. I also took opportunity to catch up on Bible readings, which had fallen rather behind. Watched a bit of TV with Eleri at the end of the day.
