Nine of us gathered to look at the tongue in James 3. A few missing then. We looked at the first twelve verses. These are pretty easy verses to understand due to the excess of illustation James uses. Very convicting, however, as we see how impossible it is to keep our tongues from sin. As usual we spent time in prayer also.
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.
