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 13 2020


Way behind as ever but last Last Lord's Day we carried on through Luke 1, looking at Luke 1:39-56 am (GLORIFY GOD WHO LIFTS UP THE HUMBLE AND BRINGS DOWN THE PROUD) and then at the rest of the chapter pm (PRAISE GOD FOR COMING TO REDEEM IN MERCY AND SAVE) - chiefly then the Magnificat and the Benedictus. In the morning we were in person in the chapel and in the evening at home on zoom. We had a decent turn out in the morning but there could have been more. A Ghanaian family came for the first time. We hope we see more of them. We used the EMW's Christmas hymns but, of course, could not sing.
