We had a visiting preacher on Sunday, morning and evening. Chola Mukanga from Bexley Heath had not been with us before and it was good to get to know him a little and to hear him preach from the opening verses of Colossians 3. As is usual with us these days, there were a good nmber in the morning but less on the evening, only fifteen. I led the services and spoke to the children and led communion in the evening but it was mostly sitting and listening for me and that is always a blessing, especially if the preacher is competent.
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.
