Over twenty of us sat down at the communion table on the Lord's Day, the first in April. This included the two newly baptised men who I mentioned last week. I then preached on Ephesians 4:13-16 (really enjoying Ephesians by the way). We had some Iranians around for lunch, which was nice. Although the morning congregation was quite large the evening one was small. I was glad I'd picked out an encouraging verse from the Old Testament to stir us up.
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.
