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.

Day Off Week 7 2023



We've not heard much about the old day off recently. That's because life has been a lttle bit random for the last few weeks (a visit from the family and trips to the west country and the north east) and so there has been no conventional day off. I tried to have one last week, however. Time went on a brilliant biography of Galileo by David Wootton that I am reading, lots of blogging (I have many blogs) and then soem TV in the evening.
