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.

Luther on Temptation and Scripture

"I have suffered many great passions and , and the same also very vehement. But so soon as I laid hold of any place in Scripture, and stayed myself upon it as upon my chief anchor-hold, straightways my temptations did vanish away - which without the Word it had been impossible for me to endure, much less to overcome them."
Luther on Galatians
