Yesterday followed a similar pattern to recent weeks. We gathered to sing hymns at 10 am and that was a good time. After that we listened to the recording I had made last Friday on 2 Corinthians 2. It's still difficult but we're getting a better idea. In the evening we zoomed again. Rather than chit chat at the beginning we decided that our host would moot us at first and then I would begin. I had the wrong setting so I made people wait a bit longer than I intended but we were fine once we got on with it. I started a new series on Joshua. The first sermon in a series is usually quite long as was this one, looking just at the opening nine verses. People seem to be bearing up generally.
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.
