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.

London Seminary Thanksgiving 2022


It was great to be at the London Seminary after such a long break last Saturday. The chairman was Reuben Danladi and the preacher was FIEC Director John Stevens. Bill James the Principal gave an encouraging report. Some ten students were leaving after having done the course over various lengths of times. (Curiously, each of the students was applauded - not sure that has happened before). Most will now start in posts in Britain. There were also two Italians about to begin church planting in very needy situations. I was sorry not to be able to hang around to chat in the sunshine. I had a family function to attend.
