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 November 8 2020


So yet another permutation this last Lord's Day. In the morning I went to the chapel and preached on Zoom. The only other person present was the pianist who kindly played a hymn at the beginning and at the end. I had the camera further away this time but that made the audio more echoey. My very slow brain thought that I should be muted so I could sing but if that had happened we wouldn't have heard the music either! I preached on the second half of 2 Corinthians 16. We did break out groups afterwards which we have tended not to do as numbers are small. I think that went okay. In the evening it was our regular zoom on Joshua 15.
