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 December 14 2021 (sic)


Things were a little different this week in that we were hearing a report from the work of Noor Ministries in the Indian Subcontinent from Sajida Iqbal. To add to the difference we were meeting on Tuesday night rather than a Wednesday, as usual. We had hoped to have an in person meeting but that proved not to be possible and so although Sajida had come a long way she still ended up several miles away in east London from where she broadcast. This is I think Sajida's third visit and every time she has good news of progress in the education of poor people from a Christian background but the potential is still very great. It is a privilege to hear of this work.
