I was the visiting preacher at Childs Hill last Lord's Day. We began with communion and then I preached on Acts 4:12 to a well packed congregation. We had visitors including the lady from the hotel who turned up last Wednesday and the Saywell family home from the Philippines. Reuben spoke briefly. In the evening there were fewer. We looked at the very encouraging verse, Deuteronomy 33:28. Good day. There won't be many more quite like this.
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.
