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 April 19 2026


A good day preaching in Childs Hill yesterday. Usual sort of numbers (40/18 or so). One newcomer in the morning and an old friend in the evening. In the evening we had communion and welcomed in a new member. I carried on in Luke 20 in the morning (the stone the builders rejected) and looked at Psalm 19 in the evening.
