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 24 2021


Generally speaking, if people can leave London at half term they do. Numbers were quite low last Lord's Day then - twenty five in the morning and only six in the evening (plus some zoomers for oth services). In the morning I looked at the next commandment in the series - You shall not commit adultery. In the evening I dipped into the Andrew Wilson book I so enjoyed and spoke on honey. A good day but difficult with the numbers so low. Nicely diverse congregation including a new couple from Zimbabwe in the morning.
