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.

Pastor Brady,
What a blessing I received today when I took your link in this entry and viewed your church history site. There, to my amazement and delight, I found my professor, friend, mentor, and hero (at least one of my Christian heroes!) Dr. John Pretlove! I knew he was a graduate of Spurgeon's College but did not know the name of the church he pastored. This was a wonderful surprise after a very trying week.
I have forwarded the link to him so he can see himself in the past!
Thank you so much!

Thanks for that. I have met Dr Pretlove just once. I remember seeing a letter in the Banner of Truth Magazine many years ago referring to him like your statement. That wasn't you was it? I hope Dr P won't mind me having put up such a photo.
