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 14 2021


We had another very full morning meeting and a good number in the evening too. I preached on the last of the commandments in the morning and in the evening from Revelation 22:8, 9. It's been good to look at the commandments again. This latter text is the last of the hundred texts of the Irish Church Missions that  have slowly been working through down the years. It's a slightly odd text to look at in some ways but I'm glad we did. In the evening someone we haven't seen for years joined us as they are back in the area. We began in the morning with the two minutes silence. The services were on zoom too again.
