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 August 28 2019


It was a good meeting last night - for various reasons These start with a season of refreshing to my own soul that almost inexplicably began yesterday morning. That led to more earnest prayer for the meeting and perhaps better preparation. Anyway even with two deacons absent and one or two others missing we were still eight - half of whom prayed and prayed well. We were supplmented by a seminary couple and another couple who semtimes join us. We looked at Psalm 127 and that proved very stirring and led to an unplanned series of prayers regarding personal witness. Engouraging.
