I always print my sermons out and I do it shortly before leaving for church. Anyway, just occasionally there can be a problem. Yesterday morning was one of those times. I got something printed in good time, however, and it was okay. Only thing is when I stood up to preach page 2 of two and a tiny bit pages wasn't there. That made me nervous but dependent on God and it worked out okay I think. I was quite short but I was going to be short anyway as the passage I had chosen (1 Corinthians 10:14-22) is pretty brief and to the point. In the evening after communion I preached Jonah 3 I was a little tired after being in Cardiff the day before but it was okay. Good congregations morning and evening, though some missing as ever.
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.
