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 25 2025


I'm behind with this because I have been ill most of the week. I'm beginning to recover. Last Sunday was a bit different in that in the evening our six mushroomed to 66 as the Christian Answer weekend, usually based in West Kilburn was based partly in Childs Hill as West Kilburn is undergoing some changes in the building. It is a weekend of outreach, mainly at Speakers Corner. It was good to have them. I had prepared a bank holiday sermon from Matthew 1:28-30 and managed to insert a reference to Verna Wright, which I thought likely to go down well. In the morning we were fairly average in number as I preached from Ephesians 5, the next part.
