It was a great joy to be at the Grace Baptist Mission meetings today to hear the various missionaries and the preaching of James Muldoon at All Nations Christian College, Ware. I always enjoy the GBM meetings as it gets you looking outward. I think I particularly enjoyed it this time for several reasons - the fact there was not an in person one last year; the presence of Reuben and Cathy Saywell, new missionaries to The Philippines, the remoter setting; the smaller numbers (about 260); the fact one needed to make less choices on who to listen to; the excellent sermon on Revelation 7 from James Muldoon. Lovely day.
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.
