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 February 12 2023


It was good to be back in Childs Hill yesterday. I preached from Luke 13:18-21 in the morning and then in the evening we went back to Job and looked at Chapters 11 and 12. We had a fellowship lunch after the morning service, which was very enjoyable. In the moring we had a bumper congregation as we were joined by visitors - two with an Aberystywth connection, a deacon's mother and an old Nigerian friend; also a new lady who normally comes with only her youngest daughter had all four daughters with her as it is half term; there was also another new Iranian (making ten in all now) and a lady originally from Cuba joined us. I hope we see her again. Another new lady who we had missed for a few Sundays was back but she will be away for a while again. In the evening we were much smaller but well into double figures. A good day.
