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.

Bismarck Quote

According to A J P Taylor Otto Von Bismarck the German leader interestingly once said
A statesman cannot create anything himself. He must must wait and listen until he hears the steps of God sounding through events, then leap up and grasp the hem of His garment.
