When counseling members of my own church prior to marriage, I ask the couple whether they desire to have children. If I detect that they desire no children, that is up to them, but they can also forget my participation. I agree that there is something wrong with the mentality of people (other than those who marry very late in life) who really desire no children. I believe that that is included in the "Without natural affection" spoken of in 2 Timothy 3:3, which is indicative of the end-time ("last days") apostasy.

I expect the "no children-just sex for the fun of it" philosophy to be the selfish position of the world. But I don't have to endorse that with my ministry or my office, and I will not knowingly do so.

Yes!

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.


*****
Lovers of day spas, facials, manicures, high heels, dinners out every night, business lunches every day, lovers of their first spouse, second spouse, third spouse, the neighbor next door, down the street, the co-worker etc.
Nope, no room for dirty diapers and spit up in that life.
