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 15 2025


Unusually, I was not preaching last Lord's Day morning. Eddie preached instead and peached well with a challenging sermon on not being sleepy from Revelation 3. We wee a decent number nad even in the evening we were in double figures, which we don't always manage, when I preached from 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 on not losing heart. So sermons didn't quite match but the messages wake up and don't fall asleep certainly dovetail.
