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 December 3 2023



A good full day last Lord's Day. We began with 16 of us sat down to communion and then had a very full morning service, including South African friends visiting from Perth, Australia, who were then with us for lunch with others. I preached a brief pointed sermon from the end of Luke 18 on the blind man healed. In the evening preaching to a much smaller group, I went again to Proverbs 30, to verses 7-9 this time. I felt I could have done better. Good day all told, however.
