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 September 6 2023


Yesterday was a bit of a red letter day in that, at long long last, we met in person for our midweek meeting. We were 12 in the room and three extras online. The 12 included our new assistant pastor, Eddie Webster, two local young unchurched believers who are looking for a church and a man who has been attending recently. We sang first then looked at Psalm 148, spent some time discussing matters for prayer and then prayed (one prayer was a dismbodied contribution from zoom). We didn't help ourselves by using a tie mike we passed around but it worked okay. We had gone to the trouble of projecting the zoom call onto the wall but I don't think we need to do that. So encouuraging to be back to it.
