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 September 20 2020


We were down to about 25 in the morning at chapel, though several joined on zoom. We were able to play the hymns through the PA this time, which is an improvement. We also had a Sunday School during the sermon. So there are small improvements bit by bit. I preached on repentance from 2 Corinthians 7. When we came out of the chapel several of us saw the hurricane and the three spitfires fly over marking eighty years since the Battle of Britain. The chapel was damaged during the war but it feels a million miles away from life today and our own relatively minor problems. In the evening it was just zoom again - this time from Joshua 12. We are making good progress through Joshua.
