I was slightly nervous about yesterday as my esteemed father-in-law was in the congregation and we had a novice pianist playing. We also had quite a few people away and the number of children present was in double figures, which is rare for us. Despite all this we had a good day beginning with communion and then carrying on with 1 Corinthians 2 in the morning and Numbers 29 in the evening. The first passage was full of good things but extraction was more difficult with the second.
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.
