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.

Lord's Day November 10 2013


It was Remembrance Sunday yesterday so we started with the two minutes silence and sang Our God our help. It was also a fellowship lunch, which was good, although there were fewer than are normally at such events with quite a few away and some not staying on. I preached on the Lord's Supper from 1 Corinthians 11 as far as verse 26. We'll say some more another time. In the evening I started a new series on Esther. We made a decent start. I've not preached all the way through it before. I did something a little different for the first time. Rather than printing out my sermon as usual I sent it to my kindle and used that. It was okay. You get less on the page and seeing a typo was somehow more perplexing than normal but I think this is the way ahead. I'll save a fortune on paper and ink. It was encouraging to see a decent number out for an evening service in the cold.

Remember this?


Someone sent me this - I can't remember who - my father-in-law? The great thing about this is that if you really identify you can listen to it over and over again and never get bored. The artist is Tom Rush and the song is written by one Steven Walters.
