Some have gone away and our visitors did not return on Sunday, so we were not a great number last Lord's Day, especially oin the evenin service, which was preceded by communion together. I preached from Matthew 1:18-25 in the morning and then focussed on verse 21 in the evening. It is always good to go over the Christmas story which never loses its power. It was good too to sing some great Christmas humns again.
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.
