Sunday was one of those mornings when we start with a small congregation and before the end it is looking fairly decent. It was also fairly international as it can be sometimes - lots of Nigerians, a good sprinkling of Filipinos plus representatives of Jamaica, Iran, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Botswana, etc. I preached again on Old Testament texts - Micah 5:2 and Malachi 4:1-3. All in all it has been a good series, although it could have been done better. Simplicity is so hard but must not be lost sight of. We were a decent number in the evening. We have one of my sons and his wife with us. Lots of others away. We will meet again tomorrow morning.
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.
