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.

Discouragement in the ministry


I spent much of yesterday in Westminster Baptist Church at the Westminster Fellowship, the ministers' fraternal I attend once a month or so. We had Paul Williams from Swindon speaking. We were the usually twenty or so in attendance. Paul preached helpfully from 2 Corinthians in the morning and we had an hour or so to discuss in the afternoon after prayer and one or two business items. A orivilege to be there.
