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 June 1 2025


It was one of those days when you feel like you're edging forward last Lord's Day. In the morning we had a baptism - for the first time in a while not an Iranian. I preached from Acts 8 (struggling a bit as I've been unwell mostof the past week). Then in the evening we welcomed our newly baptised friend into membership at the Lord's Supper. Eddie then preached from Psalm 45. A good day.
