A new month so we began with communion. We were very few but things picked up and we were again a good number morning and evening. In the morning I preached on the ninth commandment and in the evening on bread (which didn't go as well as honey and salt had). As ever a quite varied congregation with all sorts of people there (people originally from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Ghana, Greece, Iran, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nigeria, The Philippines, South Korea, The West Indies). A new Iranian family in the morning. One of my sons was passing through in the evening so that was nice.
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.
