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.

Lloyd-Jones poster


I only ever heard Dr Lloyd-Jones preach once. It was 28 years ago today in Aberystwyth. It was the last time he preached in Wales. He preached from Acts 2 at the English service. I kept this poster, which I came across the other day.

I was there.

I had a practical from 2 till 6 so I changed quickly after my prac, scuttled down the hill and sat in the balcony for the unforgettable evening.
