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 March 2 2025


We began last Sunday with communion and then the regular services at 11 am and later at 6.30 pm. In the morning I preached from the last part of Ephesians 3 on prayer and in the evening on Jehoshaphat from 2 Chronicles17. There were three new Iranians there in the morning once again and one we don't see too often. One of them told me he loves Spurgeon, which I've not heard from an Iranian before. I hope he'll stick with us. (Oh yes, we used our now restored organ in the morning).
