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 8 2023


Really great day last Lord's Day. I took individual texts once again - Romans 5:8 from the New Testament and Isaiah 55:6 from the Old Testament. We began with communion. We haven't been as many in ages. We were a very good number in the morning. Once again there were new people. There were 13 Iranians of variou ages present. Plenty of others too. Numbers were not high n the evening but it was almost twice as many as last week which was twice as many as the week before. So I'm hoping we will be in our twenties next time. Encouraging days.
