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 April 4 2021


We had a great turn out on Easter Sunday for the morning service when were just under thirty in the chapel and with others joining us on zoo. There was only one visitor, a friend of a regular member of the congregation. Very few were away. In the evening it was on zoom only and a smaller number. At both services I simply took classic resurrection chapters and we worked our way through them. In the morning it was John 20 and in the evening Luke 24. It was good to look at these chapters once again. it was a shame not to be able to sing those great Easter hymns. In fact, if I was a bit more friendly with others I would have known that several decided to meet in the open air to sing those hymns. So I missed a trick there and we had to simply listen to recordings from the Aber Conference of In Christ alone and Thine be the glory. We began the day with communion. We weren't a large number.
