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 February 9 2022


The meeting on the ninth was very well attended and was one of those meetings that reminded me of the very international nature of things here. We were praying for one member due to go to Ghana for a wedding and another who is soon to return to The Philippines. Meanwhile, we were also praying for a member from the Indian subcontinent seeking asylum and for a weekly baptism class we have at present for three Iranians. On top of that the speaker was Stefan Beyer from Germany who was staying with us last week. He spoke on Psalm 37. We got to know Stefan through one of his members who was in London a few years ago. We had not seen him for a while so that has been good. We had a good time of prayer too.
