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.

Banner Conference 2025 03b


The Wednesday evening of the conferencewas made up of a global news session and Stuart Olyott's second and final message, this time on Finishing well. The best aspect of this message was that the finish was clearly seen to bewhen we die not when we retire. Otherwise he was largely repeating what he had said about starting out - that too a lesson in itself. We heard from seven men in the sharing session, inclduing two veterans - Keith Underhill and Andrew Swanson. What a privielege to hear.
