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.

10 Paradoxical Things that Jesus is as noted by Charles Wesley

From the same hymn (Thou hidden source of calm repose)

Thou art

  1. My rest in toil
  2. my ease in pain (The medicine of my broken heart)
  3. In war my peace
  4. in loss my gain
  5. My smile beneath the tyrant's frown
  6. In shame my glory and my crown
  7. In want my plentiful supply
  8. In weakness my almighty power
  9. In bonds my perfect liberty
  10. My light in Satan's darkest hour
(Three more In grief my joy unspeakable, My life in death, my heaven in all)
