First day of the month and so we began with communion in the new style we have now adopted. I read from Matthew on the crucifixion and two hymns. We were a small number. In the main service we got up to nearly 30. Several joined us on zoom. I was on giving again as we came to 2 Corinthians 9. I also noted the harvest as 2 Corinthians 9:6 is a very harvesty verse. We listened to Great is Thy faithfulness from Aber but I couldn't find any harvest hymns suitable for playing (IMHO). It was wet out and so we talked together inside a while, masked up and socially distancing. In the evening we looked at Isaiah 55:2, 3. We also had two readings and there was a hymn, which we have not done before. After that there was an opportunity to hear from Philip Amos who works with CWI. That was good.
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.
