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.

Westminster Fellowship session on the law

It was good to be back at the Westminster Fellowship yesterday. About thirty were present at Westminster Baptist Church in Horseferry Road to hear Robert Strivens from LTS speak on the law. Robert helpfully guided us through both the Reformed view and the New covenant view of the law, especially noting differences among the Reformed and the latter group (highlighting the views of Wells and Zaspel, Moo and Schreiner, which are not exactly the same).  Although the differences are many in practice the issue seems to be the fourth commandment and how that is understood. Mostyn Roberts chaired what was a very good time of discussion.
