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.

That game


As we were off to the cinema so I left off watching the game in the 75th minute with Wales 33-16 down. I was amazed to hear that before the end they scored 14 points and England had Genge yellow carded for offside and Tuilagi, who scored earlier, sent off (perhaps harshly) for a dangerous tackle. England were probably the better side but it was sad to see them resorting to dirty tactics (Farrell and Marler should have been shown yellow). We've lost by 10 pts then four then three. With Scotland having beaten France there is still something to play for in the final Welsh game (if it happens).
