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, December 17 2017


Not a bad day yesterday, though no newcomers along and some others missing too. It is remarkable that we could get four locals to come to our Christmas party the day before but no-one to come to the services on the Lord's Day. A lady from Botswana returned after being kept away by the snow the week before. I preached from Luke 2 - on verse 7 in the morning (Jesus in the manger) and verse 14 in the evening (the words of the angels). These are verses we have visited before but it was good to go back to them again. The comingof Christ is a stunning fact.
