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.

Midweek Meeting July 17 2024


Interesting evening last Wednesday. Our little group gathered for prayer and Bible Study in the back room as we do. As I read the Scripture a young man joined us. Romans 5:12-21 is not easy to expound and I was not sure how much English he had but I ploughed on. He turned out to have decent English. He is an Israeli with an interest in Christianity (and Buddhism) visiting the area. He even took his turn to lead us in prayer, a prayer we coud say amen to. We recommended a church to him back in Israel. I hope we hear more from him.
