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 May 19 2024


Good day last Sunday with a good sized congregation in the morning though with many missing. Only one Iranian awaiting asylum now. I preached on the next part of the Sermon on the Mount, the first of two sermons on prayer. I also led the evening communion Only six there for that but we crept up to double figures by the time of the evening service when my assistant Eddie preached from Philippians 1, especially verse 21. He preached well.
