We had a full day last Lord's Day with a meal together after the morning meeting at which I preached on the parable of the minas from Luke 19. In the evening Eddie preached, once again from Luke 15. As usual the morning congregation was much larger than the small evening one. Our Iranian friends were out in force in the morning, despite being distracted by a desire to know what is happening at home. Two younger men who have begun to attend were there, whch was encouraging.
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.
