We had good congregations morning and evening yesterday and it was nice to have tea together in the afternoon. Preaching was a little difficult, however, in that we were on church unity from 1 Corinthians in the morning (a slighty difficult subject and not I hope a pressing one) and then tackled Numbers 26 in the evening, which is long and difficult. I suppose there is a downside to systematic preaching. I felt pretty tired by the end of the day. It was nice to have several visitors along. Some of our own missing for various reasons.
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.
