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 7 2021


A new month so we began with communion. We were very few but things picked up and we were again a good number morning and evening. In the morning I preached on the ninth commandment and in the evening on bread (which didn't go as well as honey and salt had). As ever a quite varied congregation with all sorts of people there (people originally from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Ghana, Greece, Iran, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nigeria, The Philippines, South Korea, The West Indies). A new Iranian family in the morning. One of my sons was passing through in the evening so that was nice.
