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 28 2018

We were 11 on Wednesday. Three regulars were away but someone was there who is often not and there was a visitor - an Irish believer working in the area at the moment. I'm glad he found us. Plenty of prayers after we had begun with James 1:12 again in this matter of finding blessing in the midst of trials. I tried not t be too long conscious that there was a church members meeting the next night.
