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.

London Seminary Thanksgiving 2023




It was great once again to be at the London Seminary for the annual thanksgiving service. Seven students spoke, having come to the end of their studies (over two or four or evenin one caase six years). All but one of the students is from the UK. Joao Cid is from Portugal and has done the course online. Some of the men are already pastors, others hope to be taking up positions soon. We also heard a report on the last year from the principal Bill James and the preacher was Westminster Theological Seminary professor Jonathan Gibson. A good number attended (though not as many as in pre-covid days) and we had a lovely tea in the grounds as the sun shone down.
