With the bank holiday coming up and The Christian Answer weekend that is held in London by Young Life and UBM congregations were a bit down I guess. I preached two more texts - Hebrews 4:15, 16 and 1 Peter 1:18, 19. They are great texts and I did okay on the whole, although I was a little long in the evening. I ended up feeling quite depressed about things, as is always the danger. I think there was a little bit of selfishness there. I was listening to a Christian song that says "When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame" which is probably right. Anyway, onward and upward.
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.
