From Desiring God: “Will Effeminacy Keep Anyone from Heaven?”
This article is excellent. Men and woman are not just distinct biologically, but are designed to have distinctly male and female mannerism. “Androgyny and effeminacy flatten vital sex expressions between men and women. But God made us distinctly male and female, and gave Eve to Adam (not vice versa), because he already conspired in his eternal plan to give the church to his Son.”
A Book Recommendation from Kristin Jukes:
Susie: The Life and Legacy of Susannah Spurgeon, by Ray Rhodes, Jr.
“Many are familiar with the name Charles Spurgeon but few know the story of his beloved wife, Susannah. Within the pages of Susie is a well detailed account of Susie Spurgeon’s life from a young girl to earthly death. Her biography reveals a woman who endured great suffering yet persevered in obedience to Christ out of a deep love she had for our Saviour. May Susie’s story be an inspiration for believers to look beyond our circumstances and live with an eternal focus, as she did. A must read biography, I highly recommend it to the women and young ladies of our church; we would do well to follow her example.” – Kristin Jukes
John Bunyan on The Little Sins:
“Beware of the little sins; they will make way for great ones, and they again will make way for bigger, upon which God’s wrath will follow; and then may thy latter end be worse than they beginning”1
Jonathan Edwards on the Old Testament:
“…every part of the Scriptures of the Old Testament is very useful and necessary, and not part of it can be spared, without loss to the church.”2
And,
“By what has been said, we may see the usefulness and excellency of the Old Testament. Some are ready to look on the Old Testament as being, as it were, out of date, and as if we in these days of the gospel have but little to do with it; which is a very great mistake, arising from want of observing the nature and design of the Old Testament, which, if it were observed, would appear full of the gospel of Christ, and would in an excellent manner illustrate and confirm the glorious doctrines and promises of the New Testament.
Those parts of the Old Testament which are commonly looked upon as containing the least divine instruction are as it were mines and treasures of gospel knowledge; and the reason why they are thought to contain so little is, because persons do but superficially read them. The treasures which are hid underneath are not observed. They only look on the top of the ground, and so suddenly pass a judgment that there is nothing there. But they never dig into the mine. If they did, they would find it richly stored with silver and gold, and would be abundantly requited for their pains.”3

Speaking of Abortion, This Is Truth:
Anyone can point to @realDonaldTrump's obvious personal moral failures. But he spoke up for the murdered unborn last night in a way that @JustinTrudeau @stephenharper @AndrewScheer never have.
