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 December 16 2018


We were looking at Old Testament Christmas texts again last Sunday. This time it was the less familiar Jeremiah 23:5 and the more obvious Isaiah 7:14. Didn't seem to go so well in the morning but was better in the evening, though not that easy ti follow in places perhaps. Anyway, we had decent numbers and at least one person turned up who hasn't f roa while and there was a visitor in the evening so lots t be encouraged about. In the morning we tried standing outside with mulled wine and ginger biscuits for passersby who were then invited in. We had communion before the evening service and that was good too.
