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.
Quiet Times with Hercules
Reformation Heritage Books have just brought out another book in their little devotional series Devoted to the service of the Temple. It chiefly presents writings by Hercules Collins (c 1646-1702), a rather forgotten Baptist pioneer who should be better known. Michael Haykin and Steve Weaver have drawn together an excellent set of brief writings by the man. These are beautifully presented and further enhanced by a brief biographical introduction. Hopefully it will be a great blessing to many. More details here or here.
