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 January 15 2023


We wereagain packed ouot in the morning but a much more modest number in the evening. I preached on Luke 13:1-5 (returning to our series) in the morning and Leviticus 13:6 in the evening (a one off). There were three new Iranians, a woman and her twin boys aged 11. Despite the good number there were some missing. We tried printing out the sermon to help the Iranians who have little English. Not sure if it helped. Also in the congregation was an old friend from Aberystwyth who we had not seen for some time He came for lunch. So a good day but how we need the wind of God's SPirit to sweep on us.
