Just How Sinful Am I?
JUST HOW SINFUL AM I? The biblical doctrine of "total depravity" means neither that all humans are equally depraved, nor that nobody is capable of any good, but rather that no part of any human person (mind, emotions, conscience, will, etc.) has remained untainted by the fall. —John Stott, THE MESSAGE OF EPHESIANS. Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1980, p. 79. ["Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it!" That's Chip Stam. I need a Savior. I need to remember the rest of the song: "Let thy grace, Lord, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee." Amen.] Blessings to all! Have a great week.
