We started with communion last Lord's Day and then I preached to a full church on the helmet of salvation from Ephesians 6. An Iranian mother and daughter who came last week returned and a Ghanaian roots young girl who started coming but then disappeared was back so that was good. There was also a local man with tattoos all over both arms who told me he was waiting for the Holy Spirit to show him which church to come to. WHen he suggested the SPirit may not do it the way he expected, he agreed. Hope we see him again. In the evening our Ugandan froned returned and for the first time another mother and daughter combo came. Egyptian/Welsh/Yorkshire in origins they both wore crosses and have often attended Coptic services but are looking elsewhere Again, hope they come back. The sermon was on revivialfrom 2 Chronicles 30.
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.
