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.

Grandchild Number Nine


On January 10 our ninth grandchild safely arrived. Gwen Grace is our third grand daughter, so the girls are catching up perhaps. God is good.Gwen means fair or blessed. Growing up the lady next door was a Gwen. 

2025, on day number ten
Here comes a baby by the name of Gwen.
She weighed in at six ounces and eight pounds
She's bound to fill the place with lovely sounds.
Gwen Grace Brady - she'll be a fine lady
Here's to Gwen Grace - she's gonna rock the place!

A sister for Daisy and Gruff to love
Look after her kids, don't push her or shove.
Your sister Gwen, she's looking up to you,
Show her how to behave and what to do
And remember also that you're now three
So you'll need sometimes to just let it be.
