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 9 2018


So at last I was back in the Childs Hill pulpit yesterday. Not an easy day really. Numbers seemed to be down rather and I chose to speak on two similar Old Testament verses not easy to present - Genesis 49:10  and Numbers 24:17. We had tea at 5 pm before the morning meeting. We also had a problem with one of the hymn tunes in the morning which did not help. One goes over it and tries to think what might have been changed and there is not much. We pray in faih that it will have done good therefore and hope to do better next time.
