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 9 2024


I dubbed last Sunday our Super Sunday as we had baptisms, thanksgivings for children and a fellowship meal. I preached on John 6:28, 29 in the morning and on James 1:2, 3 in the evening (in the famous texts series.) One of our Iranian couples had a little boy recently so we gave thanks for him (and also for a baby born to another couple). We baptised two new Iranians who also gave their testimonies. We thn had a meal together - a wonderful mix of African, Iranian, Filipino and European cuisine. A very encouraging Lord's DAy.
