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.

More Recent Deaths of Faithful Pastors


In the opening weeks of this year we have seen the passing of at east four stalwarts of the faith and ministers of the word. Four very different men with quite different views on various matters, they are now in glory having faithfully served in their own generation. They will be missed.
I am not aware of an obituary for Hywel Roberts who was from Pwllheli and ministered many years in Penzance.
The death of Michael Toogood a Baptist minister who planted a church in notorious Soho has occurred very recently.
Obituaries later appeared for Michael Toogood on the Banner website and in The Evangelical Times
