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 November 26 2014

I wasn't quite well yesterday but well enough to get along to the midweek meeting where a good crowd gathered to pray and to look together at Philippians 1:27-30. I made four practical points -
1. Conduct yourselves as citizens worthy of the gospel
2. Stand and fight in one spirit as one man for the faith of the gospel
3. Do not be frightened by those who oppose you
4. Count it a privilege not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him
Lots to pray for near and far as ever.
