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 October 19 2025

D Toe

Not preaching yesterday, although I led communion in the evening before the main service. We had a visiting preacher, Daniel Toe, who recently completed his studies at London Seminary. Daniel is Brazilian bt has lived in London many years. He preached on Psalm 72 and the opening verses of Mark's Gospel.  Among the encouragements yesterday were that our local young friend who I have mentioned before was back plus another younger local man who we've known most of his life but this was the first time I remember him being in church.
