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 October 2022


Lots away due to covid and other things last Sunday but plenty of encouragements. A young man who has been planning to come to us for a while made it for the morning sermon and in the evening, during communion, we welcomed in a new member. Also the lady who was coming in the mornings but whose son has joined a Sunday morning football team came again in the evening but without the children who fell asleep last week. The sermons from Luke 11 and Job went well. The morning sermon was quite short and we were over within the hour. After the morning service was over a strange man joined us and ate cake. We have met him before. In the evening a man was there but left as the sermon was about to start. However, towards the end of the sermon another man arrived. Hope we see them both again for the whole service. Teh fields are whitr to harvest but there ar emany barriers.
