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.

Lord's Day June 30 2013

It was good to be back in Childs Hill again after a Sunday away. We had a good attendance morning and evening, congregations being swollen by having our students home again and one or two visitors. We carried on in 1 Corinthians in the morning (6:9-11) and in the evening I took a single strategic text - John 14:6. One family came in the evening for the first time and that was a joy. We have three different families who have begun to attend in the mornings in the last few months, all from different continents originally. None of them have a tradition of attending the evening service so it was good to have at least one lot of these out.
