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 December 4 2024


Midweek meeting this week was unusual in that we decided to combine ot with the members meeting, which we rarely do. I had already decided to go through some Christmas hymns midweek and so we spent the first half an hour or so looking at Wesley's wonderful hymn Let earth and heaven combine whcih we sang twice. We then had the regular church meeting for about an hour. Prayer got rather squeezed but I began in prayer, two prayed during the meeting and two at the end so half of us prayed (we were nine plus one online).
