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 12 2020
So we were back in chapel on the Lord's Day. It was touch and go all week but in the end we went for it. There were only 12 of us present and, of course, we can't sing but at least we have made a beginning at being back in the church. Sadly despite our efforts to zoom that pretty much failed audio wise. Thankfully, I had recorded a similar service on the previous Friday so no-one was too disadvantaged. My text was 2 Corinthians 5:13-17. We also read the last chapter of Jonah. In ht evening it was the usual zoom. I preached on Joshua 7 and also read from 1 Thessalonians 3, which we have begun to read consecutively. Once again we had a guest speaker - Tim Howlett, who leads UBM (a number in the church have UBM connections). Our numbers were a bit low in the evening but our two newcomers were there.
