I was preaching in Alfred Place Baptist Church on Sunday. My father-in-law was away preaching in Yorkshire. My Son, Rhodri, preached here. I stayed with Eleri's uncle and auntie, who are members of the Welsh speaking church in the town. Others kindly gave me a lift and fed me. Many moons ago I was a student in Aber and it is like a second home to me so it is always good to be there. I preached on Psalm 23 and Philippians 4:4-7. The congregations were a little smaller than usual as most students have gone home by now. I had a lovely time though and hopefully brought some blessing to those present. I had a nice time too on the train as far as Birmingham with another member of the Welsh speaking church, on his way to Newcastle.
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.
