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 September 4 2022


Last Sunday began with communion and then I preached on phrase from Colossians 3:11, making good use of material from Puritan writers, especially Samuel Ward. In the evening I preached the last in the series on Song of Songs. We were saying goodbye to our longest serving members before their move to Pembrokeshire so that was hard but we were welcoming in three new members at the communion too so not all sadness. We had quite a few around for lunch which was nice.
