It was my great privilege last Sunday night to be in South Wales. I was there to preach and to baptise my 15 year old nephew William, who became a Christian last summer, and with him a young couple who I had not met before, Anthony and Lizzie. The church was packed and it was a joy to see family members, old friends and members at Pontrhydyrun, etc. There must have been quite a few unbeleivers there. You just hope something got through in the testimonies and the sermon, which you can hear here.
Bonhoeffer uses a similar phrase 'worldly Christianity'. 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.
