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.

Terse (firs' verse)

Hopes I nurse,
Dreams rehearse,
Thoughts immerse,
Lips I purse,
Quench a curse
('Drat' or worse),
Write this verse -
All too terse.
