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 July 3 2019


We were down to six on Wednesday but we all prayed aloud and it was a happy time. We were looking at James 5:13-17 (almost at the end then). There are some controversial verses here. We would see the prayer of faith as a prayer offered in faith not a prayer that you know will be answered a certain way. We are happy to anoint with oil (ceremonially) and pray over any seriously sick, if asked. There is nothing here about last rites or auricular confession.
