Back in the museum I remember seeing these words on some china bowl or something. (In some examples the word 'time' is replaced by the word 'health').
"The loss of gold is great
The loss of time is more
But losing Christ is such a loss
As no man can restore"
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.
