The last Sunday in August is never an easy Sunday and in the morning numbers were down from the previous week with several away and a number listening in on zoom again. We had difficulty in getting the sound right for the zoomers and we need a more permanent set up organised. We had a visit from a Bolivian man - I don't recall anyone of Bolivian background being with us before (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador I think but not Bolivia). I preached I think as clearly as I have ever preached the gospel - from Matthew 11:28-10. In the evening ti was just zoom and only a reading adn sermon as usual - Lamentations 3:22, 23, which I don't recall looking at ever before.
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.
