Jeremiah 48:10
Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.
This is a great verse for men in general and men in ministry in particular
Slackers and snowflakes ought to beware: cursed are the lazy and the limp-wristed, those who refuse to lift a finger and those who refuse to lift their swords.
Whether effeminacy ends in a man who cannot lift his sword due to slackness or will not lift his sword due to softness, the result is the same: a curse proclaimed by Christ, the man of God, who diligently brandishes the sword of the Lord in the form of His opposing pronouncement.
Effeminacy dulls the edges of the sword by first atrophying the edges of the man. His hands are not capable or committed to doing the work of God. He can no longer lift his sword nor would he want to if he could.
