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 March 19 2023
Good numbers in the morning again. Our Filipino friends with the teenage son returned and so did an old Iranian friend of ours and his son, who came last week for the first time in ages. Other Iranians were missing but there were still eight present. Also missed a long standing West Indian couple and our new Cuban friend. An oriental family (grandmother, mother and baby) came but did not stay to the end. I bumped into the woman who left early last week during the week nd she explained she was responding to a call from her daughter - it was nothing I had said! In the evening we had communion and then I preached on Naboth. Poor turn out, sadly.
