I'm just back from a prayer breakfast of the church. Six of us gathered for a time of prayer followed by a cuppa and doughnuts. It is the traditional final meeting of our week of prayer which we try and hold in early Spring and early Autumn. When I get it right we have an early morning prayer meeting, a mid morning one, two evening ones, often an extra early morning one and then the prayer breakfast. It helps to focus again on prayer. This time round a notional 35 or so people attended six prayer meetings (some 21 or so individuals in reality who came to at least one meeting).
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.
