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.

Lords Day September 25 2022


We were the usual decent number last Sunday morning and quite low in the evening. In the morning, although there were several missing (some abroad in America, New Zealand, etc), we were swollen by a new visitor, a South African lady with her son, and more than one old friend. A lady we know who is originally from Eastern Europe and now lives elsewhere was there. It was nice to see her again. There was also a Filipina lady who is now up near Newcastle. She was visiting with her daughter who has just come to this country and works in Chester. I preached evangelistically on John 14:6. In the evening we looked at a wonderful text in Isaaih 49:15, 16.
