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 November 23 2025


Once again, it was a slow start last Lord's Day with a decent morning congregation adn one not so good in the evening. A new lady came who comes to ouor mothers and toddlers so that was a first. Other new people from previous weeks were not back and lots of tohers missing again too. One lady who rarely gets to us was there though adn that is encouraging. I decided that with Ephesians completed and just two chapters to cover in 2 Chronicles that I would do both, one in the morning and one in the evening. So it was the seond part of Jsiah's reign in the morning and the great Passover in his time and then in the evening the wickedness of sin, the danger of judgement and the hope of restoration. Great to come to that point. People have enjoyed the series and were glad to see that there are excellent things to befound even in potentially unpromising looking material.
