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 18 2025 Bradford on Avon


I was preaching on Sunday at the Baptist Church in Bradford on Avon. We stayed with my sister-in-law and family, who now worship in Hilperton. We know several people in both churches. I spoke at the Sunday School on the priesthood of all believers and then preached on Romans 12:12. We had a lovely barbexue in the afternoon. I then preached on the closing verses of Numbers 15. An old university friend and his wife who have moved to the area were there and one or two other extras. We then drove back to London. What a blessing to be among God's people.
