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 July 24 2022


Sunday was a bit different in some ways as I am here (almost) alone at the moment as my wife and son are in Aber - just Alffi to keep me company. Anyway I preached okay in the morning on John 3 (trying out my Aber material) and in the evening on the final chapter of Micah 7. Our Iranian friend did not return but a very pleasant couple from Hong Kong joined us. I hope we see them again soon. Good numbers otherwise on the whole. In the afternoon I made myself a fish meal and had a little sleep which I rarely do. I took Alffi in the evening and that was okay.
