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 September 10 2023


We had a good attendance last Lord's Day in the morning and not too bad in the evening. We carried on in Luke in the morning (18:1-8 and the parable of the unjust judge or importunate widow). During the morning service we welcomed our new assistant Eddie and a new church member, another of our Iranian friends. Good to be there. Some were rather eager to dash off after the am service for different reasons and didn't stay for a cuppa. That's rare thankfully.
