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 June 4 2023


Sunday began with communion and there were 17 there. It's been a while since so many were present. Encouraging. We had a similar number in the evening service, which is also encouraging. We were double that for the morning with one or two visitors present, relatives of church members in from overseas. After the morning meeting we sang happy birthday to our oldest member who turned 88 this week. I preached on the parable of the lost coin in the morning and Job 27 in the evening. Good day (especially in contrast to last Sunday).
