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 July 7 2019


We began as we do each month with communion. we were not a great number at that point, although it picked up a little. Lots away, mainly due to sickness. We took two texts again - 1 John 4:16 and the love of God and Ephesians 2:18 and prayer. I found it easier with the second than the first for some reason. We were a decent number in the evening (I think we have persuaded some oncers to be twicers [in fact thricers]). It was a bit different as Sajida Iqbal who came to us for the first time last year was around and she spoke again about the amazing work in Pakistan that is being done through education. I found what she had to say very stimulating. More about Noor Ministries on their Facebook page here.
