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.

10 blessings mentioned by Thomas O Chisholm in his great hymn



  1. God's great faithfulness, mercy and love
  2. The fact that unlike shifting shadows, he never changes 
  3. His unfailing compassions, new every morning
  4. The seasons, the night sky above and all nature and their manifold witness
  5. Pardon for sin
  6. And a peace that endureth
  7. God's own dear presence to cheer
  8. God's own dear presence to guide
  9. Strength for today
  10. And bright hope for tomorrow
(Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!)
