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.

Another grandson


Wonderful news. At 7.58 am ast Thursday April 6 a 7lb 7 oz little boy arrived in Cardiff to Esther and Dewi, my third son. The pregnancy and birth have not been without difficulties but he's here now and for that we thank the Lord from our hearts. This is a brother to Betsan and sixth grandson and eighth grandchild. His name is Solomon Dewi Liu Brady.

Solomon Dewi Liu
There's no-one quite like you.
We pray that as you grow
God's grace you'll always know.

Solomon Brady
Born on a Thursday
In icu on Friday
Better on Saturday 
Prayed for on Sunday 
With mum on Monday
Improving by Tuesday
Home by Wednesday.*
That is the beginning of Solomon Brady

*We hope
