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 November 19 2023


These are interesting days in Childs Hill. In the morning my assistant Eddie preached to about 40 from Haggai. In the evening we had communion and then I preached to less than half that number from a wonderful verse in Isaiah. In the morning there were at least five new people - an older couple who arrived late last week and are very interested and thre enore Iranians (a mother and two older children) who were previously side-tracked by the Watchtower organisation. At least 14 other Iranians present. Hope we see more of all five plus the people missing on Sunday.
