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 July 5 2026
With a new month here, we began last Lord's Day with communion lokking at John 15. We welcomed our three newly baptised members into membership. So five new members in recen times. Encouraging. I carried on preaching through Luke with the burial at the end of Luke 23 and starting on the resurrection in the evening. Such great and important passages. In the evening we also had oour friend Sajida Iqbal from Pakistan present. Noot minnistrie is quit e force (see here). We had Sajida and Gill who brought here for tea with quite afew others from the churhc. That was a happy time too. In the niorning a Gravce Baptist minister on sabbatical was with us. It was nce to put a face to a name and discover connections. I spoke to the children in the monring about Christian fellowship and how all Christians are connected and as I think abouot it we spent the day underlining that.
