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 March 27 2019


Ten of us were there on Wednesday to look at James 2 and to pray. The opening verses of James 2 deal with the subject of favouritism - not something most of us think we are guilty of but a proper exposure to Scripture will usually discover some failing in our approach. It was useful to distinguish favouring and favouritism. It was also good to be reminded of how unique Christianity originally was in its aim to establish an equal society where favouritism is unacceptable. Always matters to pray for. We were especially praying for a Bible study recently begun with mums.
