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 August 14 2022


A very full day yesterday - three sermons and two ordinances. it was very hot which made it difficult but it was a good day of worship and fellowship. Two of the sermons and communion were Alfred Place Baptist ones in English. There was also a sermon in AP in Welsh followed by the baptism of two young people from a Christian family in the sea. Great moment at lunch hearing my oldest grandchild ask his great grandfather about common grace, as referred to in the morning sermon.
