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 8 2024


Numbers were down a bit last Lord's Day for various reasons but we were nearly 40 in the morning and ten in the evening. I had to remind myself to be thankful for those who were there. I preached in the morning on false teachers (from the Sermon on the Mount) and on 2 Chronicles 2 in the evening. In the morning there was a new Iranian sat with two others who have begun to come in recent weeks. This third one has his asylum, unlike the other two, and was most recently living in Halifax. (Oddly someone had contacted me last week about an Iranian woman he knows who has just moved to the area. She hopes to come next week.)
