I was sat listening for once this past Lord's Day. I was in Alfred Place, Aberystwyth and it was the first time my father-in-law, Geoff Thomas, was preaching for the first time there sncehis retirement. It was vintage Geoff, looking at sections from Mark's Gospel. In the morning it was New wine needs new wine skins (Mark 2:18-22) and in the evening Jesus - Mightier than death (Mark 5:21-43). These days the morning service has a short prayer and praise session at 10.30 am with the main service at 11 am. In the evening they met at 5 pm. A good number were present including some still in town after the conference.
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.
