Yesterday, having finished my morning series on the Ten Commandments, I preached first on 1 Timothy 1:8 going through wrong ways to use the Law and the three legitimate uses spoken of by Calvin. In the evening we had communion and I preached on Hebrews 12:18-29 about our having come as believers to Mount Zion not Mount Sinai. Numbers were down rather in the morning but a lady came who we haven't seen for a long while, with her two young children who were very patient before Sunday School (where we potentially have ten at the moment).
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.
