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.

Banner of Truth Conference Final Day



We finished the conference with another sermon from Dan Peters and a closing sermon from Mark Loughridge. Mark took us to Psalm 126 ad spoke of the need to celebrate joyfully, pray expectantly, work confidently and listen to Jesus singing, praying and reassuring us. Dan chose to remind us of the need to preach in the Spirit. It is difficult to preachin the Spirit if that is what you are describing. It was a timely and helful word, nevertheless, and the whole conference wa a great blessing - not just the messages but the more informal discussion too. Next on April 12-15, 2027. Speakers will include Gerrard Hemmings and David Whitla,.
