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 suggestions from Edith Cherry on how to keep going as a Christian

How to go in the Lord's Name (from We rest on Thee)
  1. Rest on the Lord. We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender
  2. Remember you are not alone. We go not forth alone against the foe but in Thy Name, O Captain of salvation!
  3. Be strong in his strength. Strong in Thy strength, Jesus our Righteousness, our sure Foundation
  4. Be safe in his love. Safe in Thy keeping tender, our King of love
  5. Go in his Name. We rest on Thee and in Thy Name we go, in Thy dear Name, all other names above
  6. Go in faith. We go in faith, our Prince of glory
  7. Depend increasingly on his grace. Our own great weakness feeling, and needing more each day Thy grace to know
  8. Be positive and joyful. Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing
  9. Know that the Battle is his. Thine is the battle
  10. Go on for his praise and your blessing. Thine shall be the praise and we shall rest with Thee through endless days
