There were 11 of us present last Wednesday as we looked at the final two verses of James 1. The verses are fairly easy to expound - don't misuse your tongue, do good and don't be worldly. What is much more difficicult is how all ths works out and we had a good discussion on it. We then discussed matters for prayer and spent a little while in prayer. It is an oasis of joy in the middle of the week our little meetiing I hope.
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.
