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.

Lord's Day June 17 2018


It was a good day in church last Sunday. I took the text found in Romans 1:16, 17 in the morning and carried on in Matthew 19 in the evening with the rich young ruler. So we were quite evangelistic which is always good. Some who we have missed in recent weeks were present but there were still others missing. Numbers were good morning and evening. We also had communion before the evening meeting, looking at the seventh and final word from the cross. In light of last week's conference I began the meetings with a call to worship,which I have not done for a while, and that was a good idea.(See here). It was nice to have some of our Seminary students here for lunch with others. What a privilege to be with the Lord's people on the Lord's Day..
