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 September 22 2024

 


We were our usual numbers more or less last Sunday when Eddie preached in the morning on Christian freedom in the morning and I carried on with 2 Chronicles in the evening. W ehad communion before the evening meeting, as usual. In the morning, there were two new Iranian ladies and an Iranian man who had first come the week before last. With two new Kurdish Iranians who have come a little while now (and with whom I had a Bible study the next day) and our established Iranian friends, there are still lots of Persians. At the end of the morning service two young men turned up, one a Bengali Indian, the other a Cretan Filipino. I hope we see them again. They live nearby. There were also visitors in the vening, a realtive of one of our members and a friend of hers, a retured pastor's wife. Good day.
