Formal days off have been swallowed up with bank hoildays and so on recently but this last Tuesday was a more regular job. I did have to go to the hospital for a brief eye test in the morning and did actually fill the car with stuff for the dump. In the afternoon I got fown to Oxford Street and the Wallace Collection, where they had an interesting special exhibition featuring paintings of dogs, mostly Landseers but with several others including some nice David Hockney stuff. Enjoyed a coffee after that in Joe and the Juice on Baker Street. Through the day I was reading Affinity's new book Challenging Leaders and another on Who can take the Lord's Supper?
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.
