Yesterday was an interesting day. The morning was difficult in some ways. The pa seemed to be echoing and at what point (in the prayer sadly) we had howling feedback. A local character who joins us sometimes also instituted a conversation about Newport's failure to win yesterday while I was mid-sermon. On top of that it was a difficult passage in 2 Corinthians 10:1-6. Anyway the Lord helped us and we were a good number, including at least one visitor new to most of what we have to offer. It was easier in the evening and it perhaps flowed better from Isaiah 55 on Zoom. We also had James Tredgett from London City Mission give a presentation. James is a young man full of enthusiasm and it was a breath of fresh air. What opportunities there are in London. Good day then.
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.
