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.

Banner of Truth Conference 2022 Wednesday


Another excellent day today. First Robert McCollum Jr spoke on the example of communion with God shown by Christ in Mark 6. There we see Christ sending everyone away, spending time in prayer and seeing his disciples struggling. That morning we also had the second paper from Jeff Kingswood on the communion that covers sin. After a free afternoon we reconvened at five to hear five men from various countries (Zambia, Poland, Japan, Sri Lanka and India) under the chairmanship of new Banner trustee David Campbell. It is always good to hear what is going on elsewhere. Then later in the evening Conrad Mbewe spoke very effectively again from 1 John. A group of us also gathered with Conrad later to hear something of his testimony.
