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 June 29 2022


It's a paradox I guess but when there are a lot of thigs to pray for  - and there certainly were last night, then it can be a good prayer time as people have plenty to prayer for and hopefully do. That seems to have been what happened last night as we prayed for the sick and injured, those with work issues, our missionaries, a family off to Italy to do a beach mission, etc. Before that, we looked at Philippians 2:14-16, always a challenging section.
