“If we cannot get bacon, let us bless God that there are still some cabbages in the garden.”- Charles Spurgeon
God rest ye merry gentlethings
Let gender not dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
Created you this way.
To self-identify is king
A plant-pot you may be
Oh-o good tidings of di-versity – versity
Oh-o tidings of di-vers-sity!

(Calvin) believed that the fallen human mind is 'a perpetual factory of idols' and therefore deeply resistance to the iconoclasm grace. - Sinclair B Ferguson, Some pastors and teachers, p.67
But had we the tongue of men and angels, we were not able in any just
measure to express the glory of this condescension; for it is the most
ineffable effect of the divine wisdom of the Father and of the love of
the Son, -- the highest evidence of the care of God towards mankind.
What can be equal unto it? what can be like it? It is the glory of
Christian religion, and the animating soul of all evangelical truth.
This carrieth the mystery of the wisdom of God above the reason or
understanding of men and angels, to be the object of faith and
admiration only. A mystery it is that becomes the greatness of God,
with his infinite distance from the whole creation, -- which renders it
unbecoming him that all his ways and works should be comprehensible by
any of his creatures, - John Owen, Meditations and Discourses on the Glory of Christp 229
