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 February 1 2026


Last Lord's Day I preached on Luke 19:1-10 in the morning and then did a further study on paradoxes (The Paradoxical Christ)  in th evening. We began with communion when we were very few. The morning congregation itself was not bad but there were many missing for various reasons. We were about 14 pm.
