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.

How Can I Aim to Please God in Everything?



My father-in-law has a little booklet out with Reformed Heritage Books called How Can I Aim to Please God in Everything? It simply sets out the importance of faith and then says that we must go on to glorify God in all we do. The four examples he gives concern 
1. Being a faithful witness for his glory 
2. Going about our dauily duties in a godly way for his glory 
3. Keeping the Lord's Day to his glory 
4. By having a Christian hime that is for his glory 
The book is cram full of illustrations from nineteenth century missionaries and other sources. Really worth getting hold of.
