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 October 4 2020


First day of the month and so we began with communion in the new style we have now adopted. I read from Matthew on the crucifixion and two hymns. We were a small number. In the main service we got up to nearly 30. Several joined us on zoom. I was on giving again as we came to 2 Corinthians 9. I also noted the harvest as 2 Corinthians 9:6 is a very harvesty verse. We listened to Great is Thy faithfulness from Aber but I couldn't find any harvest hymns suitable for playing (IMHO). It was wet out and so we talked together inside a while, masked up and socially distancing. In the evening we looked at Isaiah 55:2, 3. We also had two readings and there was a hymn, which we have not done before. After that there was an opportunity to hear from Philip Amos who works with CWI. That was good.
