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 April 8 2020


So we zoomed again for our midweek meeting. Again numbers were good. We were rather slow to start as people logged on but because there is no travelling home time with this set up you can goo on a bit longer. I spoke on the closing verses of Isaiah 26, as these verses have been spoken about a bit in connection with the virus. Of course, Isaiah is not talking about our specific situation but the verses do highlight the way our current situation is a picture of how we need to stay indoors with Christ, hide in him we more often say, until the evil passes and judgement comes. The prayer time was fine too. Most of us also met the following night (Thursday) for our annual and regular church members meetings. Zoom allows you to put documents up and even correct them online so that was useful. SO we are getting through these strange times and learning to cope.
