If he did, he contradicted himself by saying to "I don't equate Bible study, prayer, meditation on the Word, and worship with act of sitting on the couch doing nothing"

Pretty sure you can do Bible study, prayer, meditation, anywhere. You're taking his words too literally, as "sitting on the couch doing nothing" is more a phrase than anything.

I think you just like to argue and nitpick, so moving on...

To the OP, I totally understand your struggle. I'm also 23, and have been single my whole life, while many, MANY of my friends got married, are currently engaged, or currently in relationships. My twin sister also got married last year. But my struggle has gotten much better, due to encouraging friends and just finding my identity in Christ, because He is what never changes. It's a process, a journey. It can be painful and may feel like you're being dragged by Christ rather than walking with Him. But He is where your identity lies. I know that's the "cliche answer", but really, what happens after you do finally get into a relationship? What then? Are all problems fixed? Some are, yes. But new ones arise.

Hang in there. :)

Here we go again.

I just love when people project their nit picking natures on others and can't even see that it is what they are doing. So, moving on.
Read your words and maybe you might see where you are coming from.
