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.

Another wedding


It was our joy to be at another wedding on Saturday. Paul Priest, one of my deacons, was marrying Philippa Knight in Bedford (giving up her knighthood to enter ... said her father!). It was a really good day with a good spirit. Congratulations! The preacher (Dave Harding, Milnrow, through whom Paul was converted many years ago) chose to preach evangelistically and spoke clearly about the wedding invitation. Great to meet old friends and some of the folk at Philippa's church.
