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.

In the second session of the morning Jonathan Watson of the Banner spoke on the ministry we need - lessons from old Princeton. The bulk of the paper was drawn from a message on the ministry we need originally given by one Nicholas Murray in 1854, but copiously illustrated from others especially the Princetonians.
His five points were that it an able minister of the New Testament is marked by
1. Decided piety
2. Due qualification for the work
3. Giving a full presentation of the great doctrines of the New Testament
4. Impressiveness - that is making an impression on sinners
5.Entire consecration to the work of the ministry
Jonathan has been involved in putting together a book on Old Princeton in this anniversary year. It is due out very shortly.
The message appears to be the one found here.
