So on Sunday I preached in the morning at Kogarah Bay Bible Church on Ezekiel 37:1-14, the valley of dry bones and in the evening at St John's Park Baptist on a text, Genesis 3:15. St John's Park has the larger building bu the congregations were similar in size at around 70. Both are Reformed Baptist, though in the morning we used the arch conservative hymn book, Christian Worship, accompanied by piano, and in the evening a band with drums and bass led the singing. What a privilege to preach the Word here on the other side of the world. I should have said that we had an adult Bibe study at KBBC before I preached, from Basil Yakoubi, introducing studies on the 1689.
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.
