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 May 28 2023


In many ways last Lord's Day was fairly typical with a decent number present in the morning and far fewer in the evening. I was rather discouraged, however, which has at least driven me to prayer. Eleri is away, which didn't help nor did the fact our notice sheets (bearing hymn numbes, sermon outline, etc) have disappeared into thin air. A Colombian lady was visiting. She spoke no English and there wasn't a Spanish speaker to be seen.
