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.

Midweek Meeting November 2020


On zoom again, of course. We reached 1 Chronicles 13 this week. (Having worked through the previous 12 chapters we were in a better position perhaps to understand and appreciate what the writer had to say  next. I'm trying to put the material on my Preached Sermons Blogs as preaching through this book is something we all need help with).Very straightforward narrative - the story of David's first attempt to bring the ark to Jerusalem. It was possible to make a number of worthwhile points. We also had a good attendance and another good prayer meeting, where the men kicked us off well and then the women really took up the baton. One or two less familiar voices, which is always great.
