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 May 29 2018


With the bank holiday coming up and The Christian Answer weekend that is held in London by Young Life and UBM congregations were a bit down I guess. I preached two more texts - Hebrews 4:15, 16 and 1 Peter 1:18, 19. They are great texts and I did okay on the whole, although I was a little long in the evening. I ended up feeling quite depressed about things, as is always the danger. I think there was  a little bit of selfishness there. I was listening to a Christian song that says "When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame" which is probably right. Anyway, onward and upward.
