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.

Week of Prayer


Before the pandemic we used to try and have a week of prayer in September and February. We finally got back to it. I arranged four meetings in person and two on zoom. We had between three and ten at the meetings. Two were early meetings at 7.30 am, one a mid-morning coffee time one and one a prayer breakfast. We also had zoom meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday. We also had an officers' meeting the same week and a clean up meeting (which we couldn't make) so it was not an ideal week but it was a good week and I'm gald we have got back to it. Prayer is so important.
