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 9 2024


Typical day, mostly spent reading and catching up on one or two blogs. From what I can see Post-impressionism is not really a thing just a way of noting how artists took in what impressionism had to say then moved on. Started the Banner biography of Beza. In the evening I did go out for a Bible Study with some friends, postponed from last night when we were seeing my nephew off. In the evening we began watching this futuristic Welsh drama about Port Talbot. Interesting.

Westminster Conference 2023 Day 2


Our second day of conference somehow lived up to the first day though we were slightly less in number on this second day (probably due to the rail strike - we were around the hundred mark, I guess). We began with a highly theological paper from Tom Brand on the Trinity and the cry of derelction on the cross. Both the paper and the discussion that followed were very stimulating. In the afternoon Paul Wells spoke on Theodore Beza, foocussing particulalry on his understanding of assurance. The final paper, which in keeping with tradition was not followed by discussion, featured the Scots athlete and missionary, Eric Liddell. The paper was given by David Campbell. Great conference. The next one is on December 3 and 4, 2024.
