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 June 5 2022


I was very tired yesterday - a combination of late nights, hay fever and a bit of a cold, I guess. In such situations you just need to press on. I also took a two hour nap in the afternoon.  We began with communion and then I preached on three great sayings of Jesus from Luke 10:21-24. In the evening we looked at the second part of Psalm 18, which is full of good things. Numbers were quite low but several were happy to hang around chatting. It's up hill work at the moment.
