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 June 2 2024

I wasn't preaching on Sunday morning but I led the communion. Some 21 were present including two visitors. Eddie then preached from 2 Corinthians 4 on Christ the light. We were a good number (about 40?) but lots missing for various reasons. One of our members has begun to make a sound proof creche in the corner of the auditorium, under the gallery. That changes the look of things. Hopefully, it will be useful to the two families in membership with babies and maybe others when it is complete. In the evening, I preached on another famous text, Philippians 4:6, 7. We were into double figures and it was good to have a lady back with her daughter who has not been in ages.
