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 1 2019



This week is so busy I have got rather behind so this is rather like ancient history but we had a good day on Sunday with relatively good numbers morning and (to a lesser extent) in the evening. We began with communion and I then preached from Deuteronomy 6:6, 7, a one off text. We enjoyed having our seminary students and their families to lunch and then in the evening I preached the resurrection from the first 15 verses of Matthew 28. It was a good day. No fresh people in and some missing, of course, as ever, but a good opportunity once again.
