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 September 9 2018

I
 sometimes think the preaching is improving and may be it is but then you think of other things that need improving too. We were about 30 on Sunday morning and two thirds stayed for lunch. I wish it had been more. We were smaller again in the evening but not too bad. One encouraging thing was that there were about six people present in the 17-24 age group but some came am and some pm. I'm trying to get some people together this week for a home Bible study. I preached on the lost coin and the triumphal entry. The parable was easier than the narrative.
