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 August 16 2020

We were back up to about twenty or so last Sunday morning. We also managed to effect an improvement on the sound for those listening in on Zoom, which is good. We were quite international too, as we had visitors from France and old friend who is a Russian speaker. Iran, the Philippines and Nigeria were also represented. I preached a straight gospel sermon on Ephesians 2:8-10.
In the evening we were on zoom and I tackled 2 Corinthians 12:9, 10 Weaknesses and other difficulties - How they can be overcome. We were a decent number. We press on then in difficult times.
