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.

Who should take the Lord's Supper?


I have been looking at this subject for some time now and on Monday I delivered a paper to the Westminster Fellowship. We were to have met on February 5 but the train strike menat it was moved and that was a good idea as there were more than 20 present. We had a good discussion after before and after lunch, moving on to one or two other matters in the process. Excellent charimanship from Paul Yeulett of Grove Chapel, Camberwell. Nice to meet his new assistant, David Hendircks. My father-in-law and I had lunch with him. Nice moment when David said his wife was German and Geoff could say his wife is too. I will try and get it into shape for a magazine article.
