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 1 2024


We began as we do on the first Sunday of the month with communion. Good to be there. I then preached to about 40 on the next two verses in the Sermon on the Mount. A lady we met on the doors on Friday who was eager to come did not show. Otherwise, we had a few visitors and some missing. Still settling in, I suppose. In the evening our Tamil friends from last week did not return and we were quite a small number. A bit depressing in some ways. I launched out into 2 Chronicles.
