Last Lord's Day I was preaching in Waterford House Evangelical Church, Strood, Kent, for their anniversary. It was avery good day. I preached from the first part of Ezekiel 37 in the morning and in the evening on Philippians 4:6, 7 on prayer. This was followed by communion led by an elder and between the two services we had lunch together and I spoke (not very well) about my trip to Kenya earlier this year. I know the pastor Adrian Tribe mainly becasue we both served on the LIP committee for many years. It was nice to have time with himand his wife Andrea. The previous pastor, Norman Hopkins, is still in membership. I now him mainly through the Evangelical Library. Also in membership these days are Bernard and Linda Lewis. Now retired from full time ministry Bernard was a fellow student at the seminary. It was good to spend a little time with them too. Great 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.
