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 May 1 2022


We are rather behind with our regular reports. I have been confined to the house this week (more on that later) and so I should have done this by now but somehow I haven't got round to it. We began with communion and then I preached on the final verses of Luke 9 about discipleship. We are having a decent number of children these days and I read them one of my father-in-law's adaptations of Aesop (Belling the cat). We were a decent number in the morning. At least five are away at the moment for several weeks. In the evening we turned to another psalm I've no record of preaching on, Psalm 15. Good day.
