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.

Another Monday




My two Mondays before last have been busy and the last one was too. This time I was in Westminster Baptist Church for the Westminster Fellowship which meets once a month most months. The usual twenty or so gathered and this time, under the chairmanship of Jeremy Bailey, we had a time of discussion. We discussed a number of subjects including cults and cultic traits, retirement from the ministry and marriage. Useful contributions from many.
