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.

Week of Prayer March 19-26 2023


We had a week of prayer last week. I arranged a series of six prayer meetings - all in person, except one on Thursday evening. Two were first thing, one for breakfast, one mid morning and one in the evening. We had between five and eight at each meeting (something like a nominal 35 but about 14 of us in fact at different times). We only sang once. I began each meeting with a reading from 1 Thessalonians. It was good to hear some pray who we rarely hear. Good week.
