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 February 28 2021


We were around 20 in the chapel on the Lord's Day morning and that included three visitors so that felt more like old times. One was a lady from the subcontinent who has been to us in the past with her Bulgarian fiance. The other was an asylum seeker from East Africa. I preached on Christ's three fold office in the morning  - part of the series on things to meditate on. It was a longer sermon but people listened well. Not sure of the numbers on Zoom. In the evening it was only on Zoom - looking at the call of Levi Matthew from Luke 5. Quite evangelistic We also had Andrew Murray speaking in the evening about the work of Hope West End.
