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.

5. Consider a gap in the prayer time an invitation to pray.
6. Pray thankfully.
7. Pray Scripturally.
8. Plead the promises and be expectant.
9. Be Trinitarian - pray to the Father through the Son by the Spirit.
10. Pray for the glory of God.
