Outrage at "Urge To Be With Someone" Shock!
"The urge to be with someone is one of the most dominant and recognisable feelings there is."
(Zoe Strimpel, The London Paper)
Frieda Fruitcake writes: The shocking filth that fills our papers these days never ceases to amaze me! Now it's the "urge to be with someone" if you will!
Poor Ms Strimpel is obviously unaware that we must resist our God-given natural urges and seek forgiveness for them -- as I myself do every time my stomach rumbles, remembering that Paul said he was content in his hunger. (Although I must humbly confess my shameful sin of eating quite regularly. Only the Lord is perfect!)
Sadly, it seems that women especially are prone to evil lusts such as desiring a spouse, particularly when they also share God's desire for godly children.
Praise the Lord for Christian leaders and writers that continue to scold women for such idolatry, issue stern contentment lectures and continue to preach that: "Singleness is a good gift from God (1 Corinthians 7:7)", "It’s great to be single", "We can serve God better as a single" and that "Marriage is a hindrance to serving the Lord".
Thank you Richard Perkins, pastor of Christ Church Balham, London!
Troublesome, obviously, that you yourself are married with three children...
But I hope and trust that you will seek repentance for your sinfully divided devotion to the Lord without delay!

Frieda, you bring up a good point. If Paul was content, even in his hunger, did that mean he did not feel the pangs of the juices lining his empty stomach? Does this mean that he could continue to remain famished for weeks, months, years, decades? Was he really advocating perishing in gauntness as a measure to show his contentedness.
And yet, single people are expected to go on pretending that they are happy with the spousal emptiness of their lives, that they can do this for weeks, months, years and decades to prove their alleged contendedness in the Lord. The problem is that modern day "contentedness" is on a collision course with the very nature of man, and that he was made to eat, drink, be merry, be married, have children . . . . Paul merely stated that his relationship with the Lord remained intact, despite his circumstances. He was not creating a recipe for Adam's children to go against their nature to prove contentedness.
