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 April 28 2019


So the final Sunday of the month saw us looking again at Acts and Matthew 25. In the morning it was the interesting story of Eutychus who fell out of the window and in the evening the sobering parable of the sheep and the goats. In the morning one of my deacons gave another talk on John Paton, which was good but slightly long After the morning service we sang happy birthday to one of our members who recently turned 50. Spurgeon says somewhere that he gave up counting numbers years ago. I haven't and so in the evening service the change from there being eight of us, as there were at the start, to that of there being thirteen of us was slightly traumatic.
