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 July 9 2023


I was in Pains Hill once again on Sunday. Some changes there but still a small congregation out in the countryside with no pastor. It was good to renew conversation with friends there. My Aberystywyth companion Jonathan is retiring next month! I preached on Luke 15 morning and evening. Bernard Lewis preached here. He is also a contemporary of sorts - from the seminary. Also retired.
