Many events seemed to combine last Sunday. It was the end of Ramadan and the first Sunday of the new year for Iranians. It was Mothers Day in the UK and the clocks Sprang forward an hour to British Summer Time. Perhaps for the latter reason and may be some others it was not the best Sunday to have a baptism bit we did and followed it with a meal. We baptised two young Kurdish Iranian men. One was so late due to travel problems that we almost postponed it. We got there, however. I reached on Matthew 13:44. About twenty of us stayed for lunch and that was a very nice time. In the evening Eddie preached well to s small gathering, a second look at Colossians 3.
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.
